History
In October 1944, fifteen people met in Wymore, Nebraska to discuss establishing a Bible college for northeastern Nebraska. Norfolk, Nebraska was chosen as the site in order to leverage the existing Norfolk Junior College for general education classes. The goal was to teach and train young people to serve Christian churches.
In August 2006, Nebraska Christian College students began attending their first classes on the new Papillion campus near Omaha. Nebraska Christian College had raised money over several years to move the campus to the Omaha metro.
It was a member of the Association for Biblical Higher Education.
In 2016, the college completed a merger with Hope International University that gave students access to a plethora of online courses as well as additional degree options. The merger was led by Hope International University president John Derry.
The college closed in May 2020 due to low enrollment.[1]
