Historical Background and Evolution
The institute traces its origins to the Accra School of Preaching, which was established in 1972 by the early missionaries. Unfortunately, due to operational challenges, this school discontinued functioning in 1974. However, recognizing the need for a structured ministerial training program, the National Bible Institute (NBI) was launched in 1982 under the oversight and sponsorship of the Nsawam Road Church of Christ, Accra. This initiative was a direct effort to replace the defunct Accra School of Preaching, which over time, the institution underwent several transitions to expand its reach and improve its academic offerings:

Initial attempt to provide structured ministerial training.
