Testimonial

"Having surrendered to preach at 35 years of age, my pastor encouraged me to attend NBBS. When I arrived, I found that I was neither the youngest nor the oldest student. I was impressed with the fact that pastors were my teachers. I was taught the KJV Bible from Genesis to Revelation by men who loved it and lived it. I have always been thankful for the enlightenment, education and encouragement I received as a student at Norris. Many of my instructors have continued to mentor me during my twenty plus years as a pastor. When asked what school I recommend for ministry training, without hesitation I recommend the NBBS to young and old alike! There may be bigger, but there is none better!"
