Skidmore Street. Classes at the new school will begin on Saturday, Sep tember 25, at the same location. North Portland Bible College is an innovation in the N o rth /N o rth - east community in more ways than one. Leaders o f several different churches have worked together this past summer developing plans for a community-based school which is intended to serve the churches by providing quality preparation for Christian service at low cost. One of the stated goals of the new college is “ to provide Christian training rele vant to the needs and ethnic cultures of the urban areas of Portland.” It is recognized that the large, es tablished Bible colleges and semi naries have not been successful in attracting very many minority stu dents, and that the tuition costs at those schools have become prohibi tively high. Tuition at North Port land Bible College will be only $20.00 per course, plus a $10.00 reg istration fee. This is possible be cause the college will be using the fa cilities o f Maranatha Church, and several o f the staff will be serving on a volunteer basis. Classes will be conducted on Saturdays and Tues day evenings, to accomodate the students who may be employed or who are attending secular college during the week. The board for the new school is composed o f persons from different denominations and includes lay per sons and women. Pastor John Gar lington o f Maranatha Church is chairman. Other members so far in clude: Rev. Aaron Hamlin, Pied mont Friends Church; Mrs. Ernes tine Broadous, Vancouver Avenue First Baptist; Elton Shareif, M ara natha; Ron Gaither, Berean Baptist; Mrs. Ruth Proctor, A .M .E . Zion; Rev. Percy Manuel, Irving Park Christian; Mrs. Beth Nance, M ara natha, who is also secretary o f the board and librarian for the college. Pastor Michael Lindsey o f Living Peace Baptist Church is serving as Acting Academic Dean, and Rev. Bill Jamison of Maranatha is Regis trar. Other persons who served on the planning committee are: Rev. Sam Irving, Albina Church of God; Rev. Nathan Barnett, Berean Baptist; Rev. Robert Andrews, Church of the Living God; and Rev. Michael Jones, Maranatha, who chaired the committee. The courses at North Portland Bible College are intended to meet the needs and interests of pastors, Sunday School teachers, youth lead ers, and anyone who is seriously in terested in understanding what the Bible has to say to this generation. In the opening semester, starting September 25, the following classes will be offered: 9.00 a.m. 11:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. Christian Psychology for Teachers Old Testament Survey I Pastoral Theology Bible Analysis: Genesis Black History in Christian perspective On Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. there will be a class in Elementary Greek, for the purpose o f studying the New Testament in its original language. This being the opening year o f the college, accreditation is still only a goal. However, some o f the courses will qualify the participants for an Evangelical Teacher Training Asso ciation Certificate. Inquiries about the new college may be directed to the Dean, M i chael Lindsey, 283-3022, or M ara natha Church, 288-7241, or Mrs. Beth Nance, 287-0885.
