History
Baptist Bible College & Seminary was founded in 1932 in Johnson City, New York.
For its first 36 years, the college used the facilities of First Baptist Church in Johnson City. Additional buildings were purchased or built to accommodate the growing student body.
A steady growth of enrollment by the 1960s prompted school leaders to search for a new location. In 1968, a site in Clarks Summit was found with the help of Gov. William Scranton.
Baptist Bible Seminary began classes in 1972. Graduate studies began in 1989.

“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
