For Lighthouse, ABHE (Association of Biblical History Education) is the other accreditation agency that NAIA accepts. Westgate is NBCA (National Bible College Association) as is John Melvin, but I believe they will apply for TRACS or ABHE. Melvin realized NBCA was not going to help them.

But this development does leave some interesting questions. Apprentice plays football in the independent Seaboard Conference, with Thaddeus Stevens Institute of Technology, Williamson College of the Trades, and New Jersey Warriors, a club team comprising of players from local NJ jucos that do not field a football team. I've been hearing rumors of Apprentice and Williamson possibly leaving, and now it seems Apprentice could be exiting. If Williamson follows suit, then the Seaboard is in trouble.

John Melvin, Lighthouse, and Atlantis play football in the Independent Collegiate Athletic Association (ICAA). ICAA is already on shaky ground, as McDougal Technical Institute dropped out sometime in September and Florida Palms University, ICAA's first national Basketball champion, has shut down. Westgate was expected to join but now that seems unlikely, especially since its track-and-field team is already in New South. If Melvin, Lighthouse and Atlantis move their programs, ICAA is in trouble.

I can't say much about Central international. I could get a 2024 schedule from them, and their athletic staff was no help.
