Who is Ben Lippen?
A community of like minded believers
Ben Lippen is a Pre-K3 - 12th grade Christian Independent School that fully prepares your student for college and beyond, ready to impact and influence the world according to his or her unique gifts.
Ben Lippen is not a person, but a way of life.
In 1940, Columbia Bible College (CBC) founded a conference center and boarding school in the mountains near Asheville, N.C. The college chose a Scottish phrase, “ben lippen,” meaning “Mountain of Trust” as the name of the site. Today, as we look back through Ben Lippen School’s history, it remains our desire to trust the Lord and to impart that trust to our students.
DREAM BIG. PRAY MUCH. SERVE OTHERS.
