3 Students rated Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary

Jacob - 01/12/2023

It is one of the best private schools in Iowa, and best-kept secret in education! Not only is one receiving a terrific education, but also Christian values are taught and appreciated in this school. The teachers are so friendly and genuinely concerned for us as students. The one-on-one communication is awesome. It offers so many recreational activities too, sports, music, and the school is located in the small town of Ankeny, which is near Des Moines and Ames - the fastest growing area of the United States! I highly recommend this college!

David - 07/21/2021

It is a great campus in many ways. On one hand, it is small, so it is easy to build relationships. On the other hand, the professors love what they teach, and they want other students to love the material as well. They are regularly available in the office, and they almost always respond to emails. They are very thoughtful in answering questions. The faculty is amazing, and the student body is fabulous. 10/10, I would definitely recommend it! (P.S: I can't speak for off campus housing, but I would assume that there are many good options.)

Cheyenne - 05/30/2018

I love Faith! There is a family atmosphere, and the professors truly care about your education and spiritual walk with the Lord. There are plenty of opportunities to get to know your freshman and upper class men. Also, there are plenty of jobs around the Ankeny area that will help with college payments. All in all, if you are looking for a place to enhance your walk with God and form good godly friendships come visit Faith, we would love to meet you!
