The Colorado Biblical University Board has partnered with Agathon University of Applied Faith (Agathon UAF, Florida) for a limited merger to bring CBU’s academic offerings – at the academy, college, and seminary levels – under the governance of Agathon UAF. Both institutions are likeminded, Biblically committed, and are grace oriented and dispensational, and are an excellent fit for the merger.

All CBU learners would be granted immediate and automatic enrollment in AgathonUAF at their current CBU tuition rate, which will be guaranteed for the duration of their program, and their academic progress and programs will be uninterrupted by the merger. All active CBU faculty will be added to the Agathon UAF faculty roster.

Fort Collins Bible Church will remain a center for local conference/courses as the initiatives and endeavors of Fort Collins Bible College (merged with CBU earlier this year) will be continued through Agathon UAF.

CBU Academy courses and programs will be taken over by Agathon University Academy, and all CBUA learners will be able to continue their courses/programs with AUA at current CBUA tuition rates.

After completing the administrative aspects of the merger, Colorado Biblical University (dba of Rocky Mountain Bible College) will close, and Agathon University of Applied Faith will take over records and transcripting for Rocky Mountain Bible College, Fort Collins Bible College, and Colorado Biblical University (and Academy).

For more information on the limited merger between CBU and AgathonUAF please reach out to Dr. Christopher Cone (ccone@agathonedu.com) or to info@agathonu.com.

History of AgathonUAF

In the Summer of 2020 a team of leaders and educators, led by Dr. Christopher Cone, launched Vyrsity, designed to be a cutting-edge university built on the Biblical worldview with a focus on mission fidelity, accessibility, and sustainability. Within a few months of beginning development, Vyrsity leaders assisted Rocky Mountain Bible College with a relaunch as Colorado Biblical University (CBU), and the two schools partnered closely of the next few years. In early Spring of 2024, Fort Collins Bible College (FCBC) merged into CBU. In Summer of 2024, Agathon University of Applied Faith (AgathonUAF) was launched in Florida, and Vyrsity and CBU merged with AgathonUAF, allowing the leadership and faculty to focus on the development of one school, to maximize the stewardship and opportunity for Learners. Agathon University of Applied Faith has a rich heritage of likeminded institutions working together to provide the highest quality of education to prepare Learners to excel in transformative learning and leadership.
