Nazarene Bible College is a private Bible college in Colorado Springs affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene. It was founded in 1964, chartered in 1967 and approved by Colorado to grant degrees in 1970; Charles H. Strickland was its first president, and John C. Bowling has led it since 2025. It holds Higher Learning Commission accreditation (since 2006) and Association for Biblical Higher Education accreditation (since 1976). In 2017 the college announced it would sell its Colorado Springs campus and shift to online instruction because in-person enrollment was falling, and every degree program except Christian counselling is offered online. Enrollment is reported at about 1,400, though directory figures vary. In November 2025 the HLC placed the college on probation over resources and planning, with a comprehensive evaluation due by May 2027; the college stays accredited meanwhile. Prospective students should confirm credit-transfer terms with receiving institutions.
