Campus Facilities:

One of our main goals is to provide a high quality ministry training program without creating an undue financial burden for the student. To this end, Vision Bible College shares a ten acre parcel of land with the headquarters of Lifeline Ministries. Our facilities are simple but effective. We currently have several housing options available and are pacing our expansion at a reasonable rate in an effort to keep costs to a minimum. The classrooms, recreation area, prayer room, and computer study center are housed in the main building on the Lifeline/VBC campus. We also have an 11,000 sq. ft. building in downtown Marsing (about 1.5 miles from the Lifeline campus) where classes and activities are held.

Housing is provided through the use of RV’s in the RV Park. We have several nice travel trailers and students sometimes bring their own which saves them money. We also house some single students with families from Vision Community Church and from the Oregon Trail Church of God. The cost depends on the situation and students are encouraged to contact us as soon as they know they will be attending to insure they receive the best possible housing options.

The sense of community here is powerful. Recognizing that many students may wish to pursue degree programs that we do not offer here at VBC, we are working with area colleges to help those students achieve their goals while still taking part in the VBC community. We are within reasonable distance from Boise State University and ITT Technical Institute. Students can live here on campus while attending these other schools and may choose to take some Bible courses from here. This allows them all of the advantages of the Christian environment while pursuing their schooling.
 

 Student Life:

One of the greatest advantages offered to VBC students is the environment itself. With all of the Lifeline Ministry connections students have many opportunities to travel with the ministry teams. In the last two years we have made ministry trips to San Diego, Las Vegas, Canada, Montana, Alaska, and Washington. Locally, Vision Community Church and Lifeline Ministries offer many varied opportunities for the Lord to use and train students in an exciting, practical, environment. We care very much for one another. Simply put, this is a very fun and encouraging place in which to grow in the Lord.

 

 Local Information & Interests:

Vision Bible College is located in Marsing, Idaho, U.S.A., "the gateway to the Owyhee mountains". Marsing is a small town nestled amongst the farms and orchards of the Snake River Valley. Although the college is located in a rural farming area, it is just a short drive to Nampa & Caldwell (15 minutes) or Meridian & Boise (35 minutes) where students will find all the amenities and activities one would expect for Idaho’s most populous valley (approx. 300,000 people).

We currently enjoy a very strong economy and employment opportunities abound. The Registrar’s office will maintain a list of part time job opportunities and will assist you in finding proper employment while you pursue your education.

We have included some pictures of the Marsing area (below).

It would be impossible to list all the recreational activities available to VBC students but we can assure you that from skiing at Bogus Basin to fishing in the numerous lakes, rivers, and streams you will find it all in South Idaho.
