Northeast Christian College (NCC) is a Bible college endorsed by the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI).[1]
Overview
editNortheast Christian College (NCC), located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, is an institution affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church. Established as the United Pentecostal Bible Institute, it has undergone significant developments since its inception in the mid-20th century.
History
editUnder the leadership of District Superintendent Rev. Earl L. Jacques, the United Pentecostal Bible Institute opened its doors to welcome the first class of eleven students. With an active weekend ministry program, the college engaged students in various areas of service, providing them with both practical experience and theoretical knowledge. The Bible College became a vital training ground for the United Pentecostal Church, equipping gospel workers who would serve globally.
The dedicated staff worked diligently to instill a vision and embed God's word in the hearts of the students. They emphasized the principles of being "saved to serve" and "winning the lost at any cost," with the motto "The Whole Gospel to the Whole World." From this inaugural graduating class, NCC has sent forth laborers into the mission field across Canada, the United States, Peru, Pakistan, Ghana, Guatemala and Mexico.
As enrollment increased, the need for expansion became evident. In 1968, a new men’s dormitory was constructed at 76 River Street, allowing the original men’s quarters to be repurposed as a ladies' residence. Over the years, continued growth led to overcrowded classrooms, the use of offices as living quarters, and challenges in assembling within the main building.
In 1977, after the Marysville United Pentecostal Church relocated, the decision was made to purchase their former building, which provided space for a chapel and three classrooms. This building currently serves as a men's residence.
In 1993, necessary improvements for the main building prompted the temporary closure of the United Pentecostal Bible Institute to seek future direction. Under the leadership of District Superintendent Rev. Harry Lewis, the facility at 17 McGloin Street underwent a comprehensive renovation, resulting in a new layout. In October 1994, the institution re-opened under the new name “Northeast Christian College.”
Although the new facilities were functional for several years, it soon became clear that they were inadequate for the needs of students, cafeteria, classrooms, and offices. Classrooms were renovated to create additional men's residence space, and off-campus classroom facilities were found at Capital Community Church and the Marysville Heritage Center. However, the desire for a dedicated campus remained strong.
After much prayer and consideration, plans were made for a new campus, leading to the acquisition of property at 128 River Street in Marysville. Following extensive planning, the decision was made to build. On June 6, 2007, during the Canadian Conference of the United Pentecostal Church International held in Fredericton, a sod-turning ceremony marked the beginning of construction.
The foundation was laid, and after months of labor, the new building was completed and ready for classes. The two-story structure, designed in the shape of a cross, houses administrative offices, Jacques Memorial Chapel, Post Memorial Library, district offices, and a board room on the upper level, while the lower level includes the music department, various classrooms, a student lounge, and a district heritage room. Future development plans for the campus include a ladies' residence, men's residence, and a cafeteria/multi-purpose building.[2]
Academics
editThe college offers a range of programs focusing on biblical studies, ministry, and leadership. These programs are designed to prepare students for effective service in local churches, missions, and community outreach. The school's main program is a Bachelor of Theology.[3]
Campus Life
editNCC promotes an active campus life with opportunities for involvement in various ministry projects, community service, and spiritual development. Students are encouraged to engage in practical ministry experiences alongside their academic studies. The college is housed in a modern facility that includes classrooms, administrative offices, and areas for student activities. The design of the building reflects its commitment to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. NCC offers an onsite dormitory for men and women and has an active week end ministry program.
