The school has its origins in the founding of the Norwegian Baptist Seminary in 1910.[1][2] The college was established in 2008 as a merger between the Norwegian Baptist Seminary and the Pentecostal Center for Leadership and Theology.[3] The institution took over the accreditation of the Baptist seminary as well as its premises.[4][5] It offers a bachelor's degree in theology and a one-year program in Christianity, accredited by the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education.[6]
