GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ever-expanding campus of the School of the Prophets is situated on just over ninety acres of land interspersed with buildings, lawns, fields, a river, and woods. Located just a few miles outside of the town of Rocky Mount, VA, the campus gives the privacy of living in the country while still being within a convenient distance from the town.
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
The Administration building is a dual use facility, and the main hub for student activity. The first floor of the building, adorned with a beautiful stone fireplace and water fountain, houses the students dining hall. The second floor of the Administration building houses staff offices including the President's office, Deans’ offices, and Student Services office. Special student activity rooms such as the computer lab and student council workroom are also located in the second floor of the Administration building.
SANCTUARY BUILDING
The Sanctuary building houses the student classrooms and acts as the chapel for the daily services that students attend. It is also the home of Blue Ridge Gospel Tabernacle, the local church that is the main support and foundation of the Bible college. This building is used frequently for church services, student activities, weddings, and the annual Graduation ceremonies in the spring.

CAMPING & HIKING
Our central campus is surrounded by 150 acres of undeveloped forest. Until it is needed for future expansion, this property is useful for hosting our annual youth summer camp. Our students and campers often enjoy hiking our trails and spending nights camping along the banks of the river.
