About Barclay

Barclay College was founded by Quaker settlers in 1917 in Haviland, Kansas. We welcome students from all evangelical faith traditions who seek a solid biblical foundation. We focus on preparing students in a Bible-centered environment for effective Christian life, service, and leadership. Our undergraduate programs include Bachelor degrees in Youth Ministry, Pastoral Ministry, Music Ministry, Bible/Theology, Missions, Psychology and Family Studies, Sports and Recreational Leadership,  Christian School Elementary Education, and Business Administration. Our graduate programs include Master degrees in Transformational Leadership. We transform students into biblical scholars and build missionaries through rigorous spiritual training. Our professors are gifted practitioners in their field of study, and they genuinely care about the students.

We believe that these aspects make Barclay College a model of academic excellence. A uniquely transforming encounter with God is inevitable in the vibrant faith community of Haviland. Distractions associated with college life are not present at Barclay. Spiritual growth comes through classes, chapel, Christian service, and the community.

There is time to seek God at Barclay in preparation for carrying out the mission of Christ. Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). As Bernard of Clairvaux said, "There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is love." Barclay will equip you to serve God.
