David G. Sell
president Emeritus’ message
– President Emeritus David G. Sell “Our off-site distance learning-center has been designed to accommodate the working student who faces both time and distance restrictions.”
My personal association with NCBC since 1971 has allowed me to become involved in the lives of numerous students who have impacted their generation for Christ. Many of our graduates have planted churches, labored on the mission field, served in staff positions at their church, or taught in one of the many venues of Christian Service. A major shift in purpose occurred in 1999, when NCBC went online and developed an off-site distance-learning program.
Throughout the past 49 years we have tried to maintain an evangelical yet contemporary approach to the study of the Bible, while believing in the present-day activity of the Holy Spirit. If you are sensing the call to increase your biblical knowledge, or perhaps ‘tool-up’ for a future career in ministry, Northern California Bible College can help provide you with a strong biblical foundation at a very reasonable price.
