MISSION STATEMENTMISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Ambassador Bible Center (ABC) is to convey to those who are interested, and especially to the next generation of young people in the Church of God, the precious truths of God as found in the Bible, the

foundation of knowledge.

To accomplish this mission, ABC has appointed skilled instructors to lead the students through a systematic study

of the Holy Scriptures and related topics. It is intended that those who receive these teachings will pass the precious understanding of God’s truth to others.
