“I just knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I wanted what all the people coming out of NBC had.” (Jennifer Brewer-Wilkerson, current student)

For 59 years, Nazarene Bible College has been educating men and women for the ministry God has called them to do. Now, NBC’s alumni are now scattered across the USA Canada region, reaching their neighbors with the good news of Jesus Christ.

This map shows they live in large metropolitan areas and small rural communities – because God has called people to reach people. According to a study published in early 2026 in the National Library of Medicine, the average adult has 12 social interactions per day. This means NBC alumni represented in this map have the potential to touch about 200,000 people every day!
