Corn Bible Academy was established in Corn, Oklahoma
in 1902, founded on the Godly principles of the Mennonite Brethren Church.
A group of Russian/German immigrants settled in the central western part
of the Oklahoma Territory, determined to build a community with a deep
devotion to Christian faith and biblical principles, experience in agriculture,
an appetite for hard work, and a desire for prosperity. A foundational
concern in developing this community was an education facility that would
guide and equip their youth for life.
Since 1902, Corn Bible Academy has been a strong
leader in western Oklahoma in Christian education. The school is the oldest
Christian school west of the Mississippi River and is just as sound today
as it was in its beginnings. With a dedicated faculty and staff totaling
25 and an enrollment of 90 students in grades 7-12, CBA provides a Christ-centered
education that prepares its students for life beyond high school.
Corn Bible Academy is accredited by the state of
Oklahoma and the Association of Christian Schools International. Students
who come to CBA are provided with:
-
A high quality college preparatory education
- Biblical
teaching
-
A full array of competitive sports such as volleyball, football, basketball,
softball, golf, and weight training
- A competitive music department that offers mixed choir, concert band, pep band, marching band, hand bells, vocal
and instrumental ensembles, and private vocal, instrumental
and piano lessons
- Opportunities for drama through musicals, the junior and senior class
plays, and Bible mini-dramas
-
Junior High and High School Academic Team
-
Leadership opportunities through Student Council, student-led discipleship
groups, class officers, and student worship team leaders
-
Opportunities for church and community service
Not only does CBA serve as a beacon
in western Oklahoma, the school attracts students from several different
states and countries, as well. Corn Bible Academy has had students from
Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Ohio, and as far
away as Germany, South Africa, and Indonesia. On campus, the school provides
dormitory housing with full-time dorm parents for these students as well
as other Oklahoma students who would have to travel a long distance each
day to attend classes. Each weekend, these dorm students either go to
their own homes or to host homes who agree to "adopt" them every
weekend during the nine months of school.
CBA consistently sends off graduates into the fields of pastoral ministry,
youth ministry, music ministry, missions, medicine and pharmacology,
computer technology and graphic design, education, agriculture, and
business.
The list goes on and on -- CBA has a
reputation for providing a quality education which produces phenomenal
students. God has truly blessed Corn Bible Academy for its many faithful
years of service to the students of Western Oklahoma and the world.
