Through a combination of academic training, career development, mentoring and activities, ABP gives students the tools they need to succeed in the classroom, in the workplace and in their communities.

CUBM offers faith-based Geneva College associate degrees in Christian ministry, business administration, human resources and leadership. These accredited, biblically based associate degrees are granted by Geneva through a partnership between the college and CUBM that began in 1988. Possibilities are open for interested students to take the next step in their educational pursuits through bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Geneva upon completion of the CUBM program.
CUBM was established by a group of visionary urban church leaders who wanted to provide formal education and credentialing for church ministers and lay leaders. Over the years, the student body has grown in diversity and size, and is now made up of people from many different denominations and cultures, all with one common trait—they are looking for a Christ-centered education that will strengthen their faith and prepare them for service in the 21st century.

CUBM is housed within the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary at 7418 Penn Avenue near the corner of Penn Avenue and Braddock Avenue in Point Breeze, between Wilkinsburg and East Liberty.
