New Hope Christian College is aprivateBible college inEugene, Oregon. It has a curriculum that centers on the vocational application of Biblical training including pastoral studies,Christian counseling, Christian education, intercultural studies, business, worship arts, and youth ministry.
The school was founded by Fred Hornshuh in 1925.[2] It was part of theOpen Bible Churches denomination which originated from two revival movements: the Bible Standard Conference, founded in Eugene in 1919, and the Open Bible Evangelistic Association, founded inDes Moines, Iowa, in 1932.[3]
The school began as theBible Standard Training School, and was later known as theBible Standard Institute, theBible Standard College,Eugene Bible College, and finally New Hope Christian College.[4]
In 1974, the school moved to its current campus site at 2155 Bailey Hill Road, overlooking west Eugene. The hilltop location displays a 70-foot-tall (21 m)cross, which was formerly onSkinner Butte from 1964 to 1997.[5][6][7][8] It was installed on campus on June 24, 1997.[9][10]
In 2009, the school joined the Pacific Rim Christian College Consortium, a group of three other colleges inHonolulu,[11]Myanmar and Japan founded by alumnusWayne Cordeiro. Cordeiro was appointed chancellor when NHCC, then still Eugene Bible College, joined the consortium.[12] The name was changed to New Hope Christian College in June 2010.[13]
