About Us

We are an online Christian  college providing degrees that will help equip this generation with an education based on a biblical footing to foster a godly life of increase and spiritual productivity!

Our Story: Since 1985

Our story starts with  Dr Charles Rasberry who had the vision of an institution of higher learning that would facilitate a return to biblical, apostolic truth. Dr Rasberry shared his vision with family and friends and together we have developed a learning environment to acomplish that goal which currently  confers degrees in both Christian Counseling and in Biblical Studies. CBC has offices in Oregon and in Florida.

Tricia lives with her husband in a not so empty nest because of their 3 legged dog named Hershey and 5 adopted cats. They are based in the Big Island of Hawaii whereas their only child is going to college in California. Tricia had a near death experience in 2021. Because of that experience, she realized that time is short and that we all need to be prepared before Jesus comes. So, Tricia has committed more of her time to local church ministry focusing on  discipleship, counseling, marketplace ministry, and prayer.
