About the college

The Bible College of the Florida Keys was founded in 2016 by Dr. David Glenn Bailey, M.A., M.Div., D.Min. The college’s degree program is the Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies, offered to residents of Monroe County, Florida, through instruction in biblical studies, theology, the Church Fathers, philosophy, church history, and languages. Admission is limited to county residents.

Unlike the disembodied model of many online colleges, BCFK grounds its work in Monroe County through local, face-to-face inquiry—teaching and learning ordered to dialogue among interlocutors, in the spirit of Socrates and his companions and, more fundamentally, of Jesus with his disciples, rather than to impersonal screens and mass enrollment at a distance.
