college opens
There will be an opening rally and
a public dedication o f North Port
land Bible College on Sunday after
noon, September 12, at 3:00 p.m .,
at Maranatha Church, 1222 N .E .
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. Literature
and registration materials will be
sent on request.
