A hundred students attend this two year program. Ranging in age from 18 to 71, about 80% are women.

Pastor Han is the director of the college and the only ordained person on staff. Since ordained people are rare, most Chinese churches are led by members with additional training as provided by the bible school. Church workers receive a stipend and rely upon family to support for their work.
The future leaders of the Christian church in China are coming from bible schools like this one.
