| Johnson Bible College | |
Johnson Bible College is associated with the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ whose heritage is rooted in the Restoration Movement. While the majority of students come from these churches, followers of Christ from many denominations are represented. Founded in 1893 by Ashley S. Johnson, Johnson Bible College is the second oldest continuing Bible College in the United States and is the oldest Bible College in the United States affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ. The purpose of JBC is to educate students for specialized Christian ministries with emphasis on the preaching ministry. A secondary purpose is to provide programs in Christian leadership and community service. Johnson’s beautiful 175 acre campus is located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains overlooking the French Broad River. The natural beauty combined with the colonial architecture of the college’s modern facilities make for a wonderful setting in which to live and study. Two of New Hope’s ministers are alumni. Several students from New Hope attend there each year. During the summer our senior adults attend Seniors in the Smokies, a week of worship, study, and fun.
