Who we are

LBA was cofounded in 2005 by Pastors Loren Hirschy and Adam Hirschy, to take congregation members at Word of Life Church in Dubuque, Iowa deeper into the Word of God and equip them to move with the Spirit of God - raising up the next generation of leaders.

Learn from the best

Each of our instructors are carefully selected, boasting decades of real-world experience in ministry. They aren't just teaching a lesson plan, they are sharing deep personal experience in the things of God -bringing precept, example, and power into the classroom.

Why choose us

Over the last 20 years, we have repeatedly innovated and retooled LBA to be the best Bible school in the world for working adults - bringing together the best Scriptural teaching, practical spiritual experience, and optimal implementation of relevant technology. LBA is simply the best fit to help you become who God made you to be.

Our mission

To raise up elders and deacons in the local church
You exist because God wants you, and you are alive on earth now because God created you with a purpose. Our mission is to help you realize your Kingdom potential - to understand who God is, who you are, and how you can walk with Him everyday, making an eternal difference in your world.
