The school was founded as Appalachian Bible Institute in 1950 by Dr. Lester E. Pipkin and Rev. Robert S. Guelich. Pipkin served as the school's first President until he was replaced by Daniel L. Anderson, current president, in 1983. Academics

Additional programs include a Bible Certificate and an Associate of Arts. The school also offers online courses through ABC Connect, and on-campus modular classes for its Master of Arts in Ministry degree. In 2014, ABC began offering accredited courses to inmates at Mount Olive Correctional Complex, West Virginia's maximum security prison. Mount Olive Bible College students are enrolled in the Pastoral ministry major. The first graduating class received Bachelor of Arts degrees in December 2018. Accreditation
