Based on these observations I PRODed the article:
DGG dePRODed the article with the reason:Historically there have been multiple colleges by this or similar names, we have already e.g. articles about Bethel Bible College and Bethel Bible College, Guntur. This college in Alabama, founded in 2012, does not appear to be notable under WP:NCORP.
I have since added this source, an interview in the local Troy Messenger; article still fails NCORP. Sam Sailor 11:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)Can be moved to distinctive title; we almost always keep colleges at afd, tho I'm not sure about this one.

- Delete. "We almost always keep colleges" is outcome based and does not address the notability issues at hand.
I could not find an independent source covering the college except for the Troy Messenger source; to assert notability we need multiple independent sources. BenKuykendall (talk) 16:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete we keep most colleges because they are accredited and impactful. This is a local Church that put together a prgram to give degrees in divity, within a tradtion that does not put a premium on standards of education for ministers. If we had more 3rd party sources it would be keepable, but not every fly by night basement seminary is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
