Our Program Emphasizes
NSBS offers an opportunity to build a strong Biblical foundation through a variety of intensive one-week theological and practical courses taught by experts in the field.
All students are assigned to weekly small groups and one-
on-one discipleship with a spiritual mentor.
Each student is expected to attend and serve in a local church in the nearby area. Students will also be placed on work teams to serve around campus for six hours each week.
NSBS offers a great opportunity for students to live in community with each other and to develop lifelong relationships through campus activities, chapel services, and adventure trips.
Many young adults graduate high school without a clear sense of direction for what is next. Taking the time to attend a one-year Bible School provides a meaningful foundation for your life that is built on the Gospel and a deep understanding of the God's Word. This knowledge will solidify your worldview and give you solid footing as you explore the next steps God has for your life.
NSBS provides a transcript with several credits earned in various Biblical Studies topics (see "Courses" or our course catalog for more info). While we are not affiliated with a particular accrediting body, other colleges will accept our credits through articulation agreements. Currently, the following schools will accept course credit from NSBS:
Alaska Bible College - Palmer, Alaska
More schools forthcoming
NSBS is unique in that it is the only academic-focused one-year Biblical education program in Alaska. Our program is meant for all students, not just those who may want to pursue full-time ministry. We are able to provide an intensive education from a variety of skilled teachers who travel in to teach courses each week. Our location provides a perfect opportunity for building a special on-campus community in a rural setting by going on many backcountry adventures right out our front door, while still providing easy access to amenities and local churches in town.
