For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. - The Apostle Paul (I Corinthians 2:1-5 NIV) 1 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Invitation to Nazarene Bible College .......................................................................... 4 The College ...................................................................................................................... 8 Student Services ........................................................................................................... 13 Academic Programs . ................................................................................................... 23 Academic Policy ........................................................................................................... 51 Financial Information .................................................................................................. 67 Administration and Faculty ....................................................................................... 75 Extension Education .................................................................................................... 87 Course Descriptions..................................................................................................... 92 Facts About Nazarene Bible College ....................................................................... 114 3 PRESIDENT HIRAM E.

We believe: 1. In one God – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2. That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living. 3. That man is born with a fallen nature and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually. 4. That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost. 5. That the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin. 6. That believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. 7. That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers. 8. That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.

A board of trustees was elected, and Dr. Charles H. Strickland was chosen as the first president. To serve a nation-wide church, Colorado Springs was chosen as the site for the college. The college opened in September of 1967 in facilities provided by First Church of the Nazarene. New buildings at the permanent location were occupied by the end of the first school year, and the new campus was dedicated in October of 1968. Dr. L. S. Oliver, chosen in 1972 to succeed Dr. Strickland as president, served until 1984 when Dr. Jerry D. Lambert was elected. In 1994, Dr. Hiram E. Sanders was elected fourth president of Nazarene Bible College when Dr. Lambert assumed the
