90 Years on Mission


ROOTED • PREPARING • BUILDING

During the 2023-24 academic year, Lancaster Bible College marks 90 years of “educating Christian students to think and live and biblical worldview and to proclaim Christ by serving Him in the Church and society.”

We celebrate our history, our heritage and God’s good work through alumni, faculty, staff and friends of LBC over many years. We rely on God’s wisdom and guidance as we equip students to make a lasting impact on our world: in Lancaster, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., online and through partnerships in Uganda, Brazil and beyond. Read stories, view videos, stay up to date on events, and learn more about the past, present and future of LBC right here.

LBC at 90 | Rooted in the past. Preparing in the present. Building for the future.

50 Years of Chargers

Three LBC Chargers athletic teams have marked the historic milestone of 50 seasons! The men’s basketball team began play during the 1972-73 season under Coach Dean Spencer, and the women’s team started that same season as well under the guidance of Coach Sara Lauffer. Men’s soccer was the next Chargers team to hit the 50-season mark, beginning on the pitch in 1973 and coached by Tom Figart Jr. Men’s baseball has the next longest history, ready to mark 45 years in 2024. Keep up with all the LBC athletics action during this 90th anniversary year at lbcchargers.com.
