From the President..................................................................................................... 2
At NBC we believe learning happens in the day-today challenges of study and community life. Not
only will faculty challenge you and inspire you, so
will your peers! Our size enhances this growth
process as you have the opportunity to develop deep
relationships.
For over 75 years, Nipawin Bible College has prepared young men
and women to serve God with all their heart, soul and mind. Our
goal is to create a community of growth, and to provide you with a
college experience that will not only equip you, but also inspire you to
live with passion for God.
Whether you are planning a career in the secular workplace, on the
mission field, or in the pastorate, a Bible School education will help
you “stand your ground” and be that “light” you want to be for God.
For those of you planning to attend university, Bible School is of
incredible value before you are confronted with the anti-Christian
mindset common in so many schools.
I assure you that the time, energy and finances you invest in Bible
College will pay off again and again throughout your life. May the
Lord guide you in these vital decisions.
from the president
Learning and growth don’t happen by accident—
that’s why you are considering attending Bible
College.
Sincerely in Christ,
Wes Fehr
President

God and the Bible, grow spiritually in a vibrant community of faith, and
serve faithfully in the world with integrity, passion and relevance.
NBC Core Values
We value the Bible … God’s Word is completely reliable and relevant in
a world that is seeking answers. It is the final authority for life and the
key to spiritual growth and effectiveness.
We value spiritual growth … We seek to know and love God, and seek
to develop integrity of character, a sincere dedication to Christ, and a
life of prayer.

dedicated service for Christ by developing their spiritual gifts, and their
minds for Biblical thinking and discernment, through a balance of
knowledge and practical experience.
We value the community of believers… Each individual should
experience genuine relationship, grace, respect, compassion and

We value strategic partnership… We seek to cooperate and integrate
with the ministry of the local church, and other ministries whose goal is

We value evangelism & missions… We seek to cultivate compassion
for the lost in an educational context that actively incorporates sharing
the gospel, in both local and global contexts.
HISTORY
Nipawin Bible College was born as a result of
the prayerful vision of a group of Christian
men from Tisdale, Saskatchewan in 1934.
Their desire was to begin an evangelical and
interdenominational Bible College in
northeastern Saskatchewan, which would
equip young men and women for Christian
ministry.
The school was first situated at the junction of
the Carrot and Leather Rivers, and was
named “Two Rivers Bible Institute.” In the
mid-fifties, repeated spring flooding of the
campus forced the school to relocate to its
present 135 acre site just south of Nipawin,
and was renamed “Nipawin Bible Institute.”
The name was changed again in 2007 to
“Nipawin Bible College.”
AFFILIATIONS
Nipawin Bible College is an evangelical
and interdenominational school. As such,
we welcome students from all
denominations and offer them an
opportunity to study the Word of God in
a friendly, denominationally-unbiased
climate.
Nipawin Bible College is a charter
member of the Canadian Council of
Christian Charities, which certifies that
our school satisfies the requirements
and standards of financial
accountability prescribed by this
national council.
NBC
LOCATION
Nipawin Bible College is located two
kilometres south of Nipawin on
Highway 35, three hours from
Saskatoon. Nipawin is a wellserviced town of 5,000 people
located in the heart of Saskatchewan’s
northeast agricultural community,
and attracts many tourists for its
excellent fishing, hunting and other
outdoor recreation.

… GENERAL INFORMATION
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments,
inerrant as originally given, verbally inspired, to be the
Word of God to mankind, the complete revelation of His
will for the salvation of all people, and the supreme and
final authority in faith, doctrine and life. (2 Tim 3:16; 2 Pet
1:20,21; Jn 17:17; Heb 4:12)
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely
perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, eternal in being, identical in nature, equal
in power and glory, with Jesus Christ being conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, existing as true
God and true man. (Gen 1; Dt 6:4; 1 Pet 1:1,2; 2 Cor 13:14;
Ac 5:3; Mt 28:18,19; Jn 10:22-39; Mt 1:18-25; Lk 1:35; Isa
7:14; Col 1:15-20)
We believe that at death all people continue in conscious
existence, awaiting the bodily resurrection of the just and
the unjust, the saved to everlasting blessedness, and the lost
to everlasting conscious torment. (Lk 16:19-31; 2 Thes
1:5-10; Rev 20 & 21; 2 Pet 2:4–9)
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God,
sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but
spiritual death; that each person is born with a sinful
nature, incapable of pleasing God and in the case of those
who reach moral responsibility, becomes a culpable sinner,
utterly lost. (Gen 1:26,27; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:1-3; Ti 3:3-5)
We believe the church is commissioned by God to shed the
light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ in all the earth,
to reach the lost, disciple believers, and become a mature
body of Christ. (Mt 28:18–20; Eph 4:1-16; Rom 10:10-15; 2
Cor 5:11-20; 2 Tim 2:1-10; Heb 10:19-39)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for
our sins as the representative and propitiatory sacrifice,
subsequently resurrected bodily and personally, ascended
into heaven, abiding there as Forerunner, High Priest, and
Advocate. (1 Jn 2:1,2; 1 Cor 15:3-6; Eph 1:20-23; Rom
3:19-29; Acts 1:1-11; Heb. 7:11-28)
We believe in the Lord’s imminent return, which will be
personal, bodily, visible and pre-Millennial — the ‘blessed
hope’ which motivates the believer’s personal life and
service. (John 14:1–3; 1 Cor 15:50-58; 1 Thes 3:13; 1 Thes
4:13-18; Acts 1:11; Ti 2:11–14)
We believe that the shed blood of Christ and His
resurrection provide the only ground for justification and
salvation, and that only those who by faith receive the Lord
Jesus Christ as personal Saviour are born of the Holy Spirit
and thus become children of God. (Jn 14:6; Acts 4:12; Jn
1:12; Jn 3:3-8; 2 Cor 5:17; 1 Pet 1:18-21; Eph 2:8,9; Eph 1:7;
Col 1:13,14)
We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit whose ministry
is to glorify Jesus Christ, to convict people, to regenerate
the believing sinner, to indwell, guide, instruct, sanctify, fill
and empower the believer for godly living and service, and
the true Church being composed of all those who are thus
united together in the Body of Christ, of which He is the
Head. (Jn 14:16,17; Jn 15:26; Jn 16:8-14; Eph 5:18; 1 Cor
6:11; 1 Cor 12:13; Rom 12:5; Eph 1:22,23; Eph 4:1-16)
We believe in the personality of Satan and other evil spirit
beings, who are the enemies of God, constantly engaged in
spiritual warfare against God, the believer, and the holy
angels. (Isa 14:12-14; Eze 28:11-19; Dan 10:12-21; 2 Cor
4:3,4; 11:13-15; Rev 12; Rev 20:7-10; Eph 6:10-20; I Pet
5:8,9)

… STUDENT LIFE
Student Activities
Missions
NBC hosts an annual Missions Conference designed to
inspire and inform students regarding world missions.
Special speakers challenge students to consider the call of
God in their own lives.
Small Groups and Mentoring
Each student has the opportunity to be involved in a small
group to enhance relationships and spiritual growth. The
optional mentoring program takes the personal dynamic a
step further. This program simply involves meeting regularly
with a staff member or a senior student who will seek to help
you in whatever areas you are seeking growth.
Also, every 2 to 3 years students have the opportunity of
joining an NBC missions team to experience missions
firsthand and to impact the world for Christ. Teams have
gone out to Bulgaria, Peru, Honduras, and Japan. The handson ministry helps put classroom theory into practice.
Student Ministry
three60five
All students participate in Student Ministry on a regular
basis. Student Ministry gives you the opportunity to put
your classroom training to practical use. It is also an
opportunity for you to begin discovering ways in which God
can use you. Some of the types of Student Ministry include:
youth, seniors visitation, teaching Sunday School, kids’ clubs
in public schools, residence assistants (RA’s), and NBC music
& drama teams.
NBC hosts a youth retreat called “three60five.” This studentled event offers high school students the opportunity to be
challenged in their walk with God. High energy activities,
great worship, and challenging speakers make this event a
highlight each year.
Music & Drama Teams
NBC drama and music teams are another great way to be
involved in ministry. You can discover and develop your
skills at NBC. The teams go out on weekend ministries and a
three week tour each April after school ends.
Sports
NBC provides a variety of sports opportunities. Team sports
include hockey (men’s), soccer (outdoor and indoor),
basketball, and volleyball, depending upon school league
involvement and student interest. These teams compete with
local teams and/or other Bible schools. Key objectives of the
athletic program are skill and character development, and
Christian witness.
Student Leadership
Student Work
Student Council, Yearbook, Chapel Committee, and
three60five Committee are some of the leadership teams in
which students can be involved. These committees provide
key leadership in the school, and are also a great way of
developing leadership and administration skills.
Resident students are required to fulfill six hours of Student
Work each week. The program helps to develop skills,
personal responsibility, and a good work ethic. It also makes
possible the very reasonable room and board fees. If students
wish, however, they may pay the additional fees in place of
student work.

foremost, for a Christian education which will enhance their
love and service for Jesus Christ. Therefore we expect all

Biblical principles and manifests an honourable Christian
character.

bedding, towels and personal items. Note: hot-air popcorn
poppers, kettles, and mini fridges are the only kitchen
appliances allowed in dorm rooms.
Classes and dorm life are the primary components of a
student’s campus experience. The Student Handbook
outlines the expectations concerning class attendance, dress
codes, the use of personal entertainment media, and other
aspects of student life.
Student Lounge
The lower level of the dining hall houses a comfortable
student lounge and convenient snack bar for students. The
student lounge also serves as a games room, with a foosball
table, table tennis and pool table as the main attractions.
Relationships are also an important aspect of campus life.
Bible college presents unique opportunities to develop
lasting relationships. The Student Handbook contains
guidelines designed to encourage the healthy development of
these relationships.
Bookstore
Textbooks, paper supplies, Christian music, and other items
can be purchased in the school’s bookstore, which is a
service provided for staff, students, and the general public.

whole family. Recreational facilities on campus are available
for family use and are a highlight for many children. School
bus service is available on campus for those living in campus
housing. Families will enjoy the safe and caring community
at NBC.

families. NBC offers very affordable rental housing on
campus which is available on a first come - first served basis.
Reasonably priced rental housing is also available only a few
minutes away in Nipawin.
Parking stalls are available for students who bring their
vehicles. The cost for electrical service is included in the
student fees.
Another benefit is reduced tuition for the spouse of full-time
students, making it more feasible for both to enjoy classes.
Spouses may audit a class at no cost or take one course per
semester for credit at 50% of regular tuition.

beginning of each semester. Upon registration the student is
officially enrolled at NBC.
A student may be placed under academic probation when
one or more grades fall below 1.0 Grade Points, or if three or
more assignments are overdue. However, low academic
grades alone need not necessitate a probation. The
purposes, conditions and terms of our probation policy are
outlined in detail in the Student Handbook.
Transfer Of Credits
Many Bible Colleges grant credit transfers to students who
have attended another school. NBC graduates have received
favourable credit transfers from several accredited Bible
Colleges and Seminaries, though NBC is not accredited. The
transfer of credits is dependent upon grades achieved
(usually minimum of 70%), the areas of study completed and
anticipated, and the standards of the institution. Individuals
desiring to transfer credits to NBC must submit a transcript
and catalogue from the previous college(s).
A complete policy regarding class attendance, course
assignments, exams, upgrades, auditing, and other academic
issues, is outlined in the Student Handbook which is
distributed to each student prior to the beginning of the
school year.
