Ministry Training Has Expanded at NBC!
Nazarene Bible College launched the USA/Canada Region’s new Non-degree Course of Study (NCOS) courses on January 12, 2026. So far, the college is serving 125 students who are enrolled in seven different NCOS courses offered online and in partnership with districts in the Central and North Central fields. These new NCOS students represent 24 states, and the course facilitators are located across 20 states. More information is available at https://ncos.nbc.edu.
NBC continues to offer undergraduate degree programs that meet ordination requirements in the Church of the Nazarene, including a Bachelor’s degree with majors in Pastoral Ministries, Pastoral Leadership, and Hispanic Pastoral Ministries. The Bible college’s non-degree Ministry Preparation Programs (MPP) – the NBC Variation, the Modular Variation, and el Programa de Preparación Ministerial – will also continue to be available and meet ordination requirements. These college-level offerings not only prepare people for ministry and ordination, they also make it possible for ministry students to continue their education beyond the Bachelor level, ensuring the Church of the Nazarene continues to have excellent ministers and leaders for decades to come.
