Clear Creek Baptist Bible College (CCBBC) is a private Baptist Bible college in Pineville, Kentucky. It is affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention. CCBBC provides a Bible-based education focusing on Christian service. The college is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association for Biblical Higher Education. CCBBC was founded by Lloyd Caswell Kelly in 1926.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at roughly $10,255/year after aid, the cost is genuinely affordable for a small Bible college, and the focused mission — training students for Christian ministry through a Kentucky Baptist Convention-affiliated program — gives it a clear sense of purpose. However, the 33% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate are real red flags, suggesting many students don't finish, which is worth asking the admissions office about directly. If your goal is vocational ministry rather than maximizing earning potential (median earnings sit at $31,000 a decade out), and you're committed to completing the degree, this could be a fit — but go in with eyes open.
