HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2018 /Christian Newswire/ -- The College of Biblical Studies-Houston has entered into an agreement to pursue a merger with Crossroads Bible College in Indianapolis. CBS-Houston hopes to combine resources in an effort to strengthen both colleges and increase offerings to students. CBS-Houston and Crossroads share a focus on multiethnic urban ministry and have predominately ethnic minority students.

CBS-Houston President Dr. William Blocker believes Crossroads will be a great addition to the CBS-Houston family. Blocker also believes Bible colleges must come together to remain viable in today's world. "Bible colleges are facing some enormous challenges, but when we come together, we are stronger, more efficient, and a more effective ministry. Together we can focus on preserving our past, impacting our present, and shaping our future for the cause of Christ."

As part of CBS-Houston, Crossroads will be regionally accredited through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. President Emeritus Dr. A. Charles Ware believes the opportunity to pursue this merger with CBS-Houston will be an example of how kingdom work can strengthen and advance when ministries with common missions unite for the greater good. "CBS-Houston brings value to CBC such as regional accreditation, a developed online platform, and a strong team of professionals with a history of success. It also allows us to combine some resources, such as software licensing and information systems."
