Our program of study has been designed to provide each student with the necessary certificates, degrees and credentials necessary for them to make a more profound impact for God through ministry. ACCREDITATION Destiny Bible College was granted accreditation status in 2005, by Accrediting Commission International. Destiny Bible College has elected A. C. I as its accrediting agency because of our desire to remain free from the control of any Federal, State or private agency controlled by the same, that will not allow complete spiritual freedom in our curriculum and student body.
