It is no accident that you are here on this page.
Perhaps you want to deepen your understanding of the faith. Or yearn to find greater purpose and meaning in your life by serving. What if you are ready but need experienced hands to steer you in the right direction with their knowledge and mentorship?
Many of our students choose to join our online program and classes because they've felt a calling. This calling can come at any stage in life. Our dedicated students are in their 40s, eager to step into the next phase of their lives with a renewed sense of purpose. But whatever your reason for pursuing further education, once you sign up to study with Nazarene Bible College, you'll become part of a purposeful community passionately devoted to the cause.
Community is core to what we do. Our students come from all 50 states within the U.S. and some seven countries outside it, including men and women of all ages and races, showcasing the huge diversity of experiences and viewpoints. While most of our student body is from the Church of the Nazarene, students from over 15+ other denominations also study with us. We offer programs in English and Spanish.
Whether you want to start your own ministry, become a pastor, serve as a lay person, or simply make sense of your mission, you'll find yourself completely at home at Nazarene Bible College. Our core objective is to glorify Jesus Christ as Lord by preparing adults to evangelize, disciple, and minister to the world.
Our students choose from the online degree, certificate, or continuing education programs depending on their specific intent and level of commitment. With our four-year Bachelor's degree, for example, students choose specializations that equip them to serve as pastors, missionaries, counselors, or as part of other helping and professions.
You'll study alongside other mission-oriented students setting the foundation for life-long relationships.
Students often choose Nazarene Bible College for their studies because of the institution's commitment to quality education and furthering faith through immersion in a Christ-centered life.
The college has been a leader in adult education for over 54 years. Our students closely interact with faculty members who are both practitioners and educators. The faculty brings together a combined experience of more than 150 years working in pastoral or staff roles in churches of all sizes. Nearly all the faculty are involved in the ministry of their local churches.
Students enjoy course schedules tailored to their specific needs with the added benefit of a small 7:1 student to faculty ratio. They also develop a deep understanding of community while engaging with faculty members actively involved in counseling, praying, and maintaining close relationships with the students through individual support.
Many of our students eventually go on to serve The Church of the Nazarene as pastors, ministers, evangelists, district superintendents, general superintendents, and dedicated lay persons.
