History

The school was founded by Fred Hornshuh in 1925. [2] It was part of the Open Bible Churches denomination which originated from two revival movements: the Bible Standard Conference, founded in Eugene in 1919, and the Open Bible Evangelistic Association, founded in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1932. [3]

The school began as the Bible Standard Training School, and was later known as the Bible Standard Institute, the Bible Standard College, Eugene Bible College, and finally New Hope Christian College. [4]

In 1974, the school moved to its current campus site at 2155 Bailey Hill Road, overlooking west Eugene. The hilltop location displays a 70-foot-tall (21 m) cross, which was formerly on Skinner Butte from 1964 to 1997. [5] [6] [7] [8] It was installed on campus on June 24, 1997. [9] [10]

In 2009, the school joined the Pacific Rim Christian College Consortium, a group of three other colleges in Honolulu, [11] Myanmar and Japan founded by alumnus Wayne Cordeiro. Cordeiro was appointed chancellor when NHCC, then still Eugene Bible College, joined the consortium. [12] The name was changed to New Hope Christian College in June 2010. [13]

Accreditation and affiliation

New Hope Christian College is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education. [14] The college is affiliated with the Open Bible Standard Churches denomination and the church New Hope Christian Fellowship and incorporated in the State of Oregon.

Skinner Butte is a prominent hill on the north edge of downtown Eugene, Oregon, near the Willamette River.

A famous photo of Eugene's downtown displays this marker, which is credited to Eugene's own Ku Klux Klan members. The letters were removed and replaced with the letter "O" in the late 1920s. The butte later displayed a controversial cross or war memorial, depending on interpretation. The cross was replaced several times, but wasn't permanently removed until 1997.
