A Legacy of Biblical Education in the Nation’s Capital

In 1956, the school became Washington Bible College, and later Capital Bible Seminary was added.
In 2012, the academic programs of Washington Bible College and Capital Bible Seminary were merged into Lancaster Bible College, resulting in strengthened program offerings here in Washington. As part of LBC | Capital, the Washington, D.C. location continues the legacy of providing biblically based education in the D.C. metro area.
