About This School
Word of Life Bible Institute is a private nonprofit institution located in Pottersville, New York with approximately 549 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,981 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Word of Life Fellowship is an international evangelistic Christian ministry. The headquarters is in Schroon Lake, New York, in the United States.
Worth considering if you feel called to Christian ministry and want an affordable Bible education — with median debt of just $5,500 at graduation, students leave with very little financial burden. The tradeoff is real, though: median earnings of $32,400 a decade out reflect a career path in ministry or nonprofit work rather than high-paying fields, so this school makes sense only if that mission-driven trajectory aligns with your goals. The small campus community in rural upstate New York adds an immersive, intentional environment, but applicants should go in clear-eyed that this is a specialized institution, not a stepping stone to broad career options.
