About the Process
Nazarene Bible College is an educational institution of the Church of the Nazarene. Its role is determined by the denomination through its official representatives, and the college is directly governed by a board of trustees elected by the General Assembly of the church for a four-year term.
The board of trustees consists of the president of the college and three members from each educational region of the Church of the Nazarene within the continental United States. Of these members, there is one district superintendent, one pastor, and one layperson from each educational region. Where no members from the Native American, Hispanic, or African-American communities have been elected by the General Assembly, the president of the college selects one member to the board from each community.
