College for 30something

[ButterflyPoette]

I am single and almost 33 and wanting to find a nice Bible college somewhere. I am interested in missions. I have lived in Korea as a missionary. I don't really like teaching. I want to do missions that isn't teaching.
I would like to go to a place that has other people in their 30s and mid to late 20s.

I have looked at Wheaton and Oral Roberts. What would you suggest?

I've heard good things about Simpson University, it's about 90 minutes north of me in Redding, California and is generally affiliated with the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination. They also have a seminary called A.W. Tozer Seminary that a few of my friends go to (or have gone to in the past).

My dad was on the faculty there for a while about 15+ years ago before they were a University, he thought it was a good campus back then but I'm not sure precisely what it's like now. It may be something that lines up with what you're looking for.

There's also Fuller Theological Seminary, Biola University, etc.

I would just like to note that you don't necessarily have to go to a Christian school to learn a skill that's applicable to the missions field. I have a heart for missions as well (Uganda specifically), and I'm pursuing film school... My hope is that my passion for cinema and the skills I acquire in film school will allow me to create compelling works of art that draw people's attention (Christians and non-Christians alike) to serious issues beyond our American borders.

However, if you do end up looking for specific training on theological matters then a Christian University/Seminary is the proper route to take. Getting any measure of theological education from a secular university can potentially be a volatile experience.
