Designed for High School Juniors and Seniors, as well as anyone who feels a call or is exploring a call to the ministry.

“Indiana Bible College changed my life. I accepted the call to attend, which God had undeniably placed on my life, and I’ve never been the same. I attended for four years and it was challenging in many ways – spiritually, academically, socially. Those fours years God molded, shaped, and prepared me for the future in ministry. There are things I learned there that I didn’t even realize would help me until I had to apply them in life outside of IBC.”

— Drew Mains, Class of 2021

  • We’re going to give the first available spots to those who haven’t already attended a Preview Weekend in the present school year. However, if you want to reach out for approval and an exception, by all means email us at previewweekend@indianabible.college.

  • Preview Weekend is designed with the High School Junior and Senior (16-18 year-olds) in mind; however, college students, recent high school graduates and even those who have completed some college work are welcome to attend. If we are pressed for places we will evaluate attendees on a case-by-case basis giving priority to Sophomores who are 16 years of age at the time of the event and processing from there. Fifteen-year-old attendees are not currently permitted to attend, although exceptions can be requested by having your pastor reach out to initiate conversation at previewwweekend@indianabible.college.

  • The cost to attend IBC Preview Weekend is $75 for early bird registration (first 35 registrants) and $100 for general registration. We cap this event at 100. These prices do not include processing fees.

    This cost includes food, socials, lodging, a Preview Weekend long-sleeve shirt, and a Preview Pack (stickers, snacks, etc).

  • We can provide shuttles to and from the IND airport. All transportation arrangements must be emailed to previewweekend@indianabible.college.
