History

BBC began in 1945 as a ministry of the First Church of Christ in Boise as a training school for ministers in the Pacific Northwest. In 1974, the college became an independent institution and moved to the current campus in west Boise. In 1988 BBC received accreditation through the AABC. Since 1990, under the leadership of Dr. Charles A. Crane, president, BBC expanded programs, built new campus facilities, and dramatically increased enrollment. On July 1, 2007, Terry Stine became the president and Dr. Crane became chancellor. After more than 64 years, the purpose of BBC remains to prepare leadership for the Lord’s church in America and throughout the world.
