Alliance Defending Freedom
ADF Ministry Alliance is a legal membership program that acts as a hub for Christian Universities to gain access to experienced First Amendment lawyers who are available to answer religious liberty questions, conduct document reviews and provide advice, and even represent your University in court if necessary and appropriate – it’s virtually all-inclusive for religious freedom issues.
Religious liberty legal issues can be difficult to navigate, costly, and time consuming. To help alleviate this burden from members of The Association for Biblical Higher Education, we’ve partnered with ADF Ministry Alliance. ABHE member schools have reduced costs when becoming members of ADF Ministry Alliance.

Achieving Accreditation Standards
May 23-24, 2022
Sponsored by WEAVE
This conference provides an overview of all 11 ABHE Institutional Accreditation Standards, along with the 149 Essential Elements that must be met to satisfy each standard. The presentation-discussion format provides opportunity for participants to explore situations at their institutions and seek advice from the ABHE professional staff and senior evaluators on how to address those situations in the context of the standards. A self-assessment opportunity will be included to develop a working agenda for addressing areas that need improvement before hosting an evaluation team. This conference is beneficial to individuals who will have significant responsibilities in preparing their institutions for an evaluation team visit, whether reaffirmation, initial accreditation, or candidacy. Institutions are encouraged to bring their accreditation team/accreditation planning committee to make this a meaningful hands-on preparation for hosting a comprehensive evaluation team visit. The conference also serves as the required new applicant orientation for institutions granted applicant status in June/November 2021 or February 2022.

Online Education Conference

With the massive shift to online education due to the pandemic, many institutions are aggressively reworking curriculum programs to more appropriately complete in the virtual education space. This is no small challenge with virtual engagement removing the limitations of place and time. So, what does excellence in online education look like? How does this impact marketing, recruiting, course design, delivery, learning assessment and program management? Consider best practices for online education from distinguished experts across ABHE and beyond.

The Accreditation Journey
