Extension Overview
Rosedale Bible College’s Maryland Extension Campus brings accessible and affordable biblical education to the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region, with a special focus on serving the Ethiopian and Eritrean Christian communities. The extension provides culturally relevant theological education, leadership training, and opportunities for spiritual growth to pastors, church leaders, young adults, and others seeking to deepen their biblical understanding and strengthen their ministry.
While the extension is specifically designed to increase access to theological education for Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora communities, enrollment is open to all qualified students regardless of ethnic or denominational background. The extension seeks to provide an accessible pathway for ministry leaders, working adults, and emerging Christian leaders to receive high-quality biblical education while remaining actively engaged in their local churches and communities.
Vision and Goal of the Extension Campus
The vision of the RBC Maryland Extension Campus is to strengthen churches and develop Christ-centered leaders who are equipped to serve their communities and advance the Gospel. Through biblical education, discipleship, mentoring, and leadership development, we seek to invest in both current and emerging generations of Christian leaders. Our goal is to make quality theological education more accessible while helping individuals grow in their faith, deepen their understanding of Scripture, and become more effective in their service to the church and the world.
