New Brunswick Bible Institute
Open-knowledge reference entry
New Brunswick Bible Institute (NBBI), is a conservative, evangelical Bible college located in Victoria Corner, New Brunswick, Canada. It is governed by a board of directors, and its mission is to provide training in thorough and practical knowledge of the Bible.
History
The New Brunswick Bible Institute was founded in the fall of 1944 by Rev. John Parschauer and a group of fellow Christian men who saw the need for a Bible-centred school where young men and women could receive training and be sent forth to evangelize. The school’s very first board was that of the Canadian Sunday School Mission, and acquired land and buildings through fundraising and significant financial contributions made by William McGee. The school’s first enrolment consisted of ten students. Parschauer left the NBBI after ten years and went on to found another Bible college, Bibelschule Brake in Lemgo, Germany.
In 1947, the NBBI was recognized by an act of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, and saw increased enrolment and expansion in the decades that followed.As of 2025, the NBBI has an enrolment of 60 students and a 100 acre campus with 22 buildings. Its main building (Kenneth M. Robins Study Centre) includes classrooms, administration offices, a library, bookstore, lounge, dining hall, weight room, and gymnasium. Both the men’s (Beacon Hall) and women’s (Liberty Hall) dorms are located on campus.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7005783. VIAF identifies the subject as 1195154260550224480009. Authority coordinates are 46.273, -67.510. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1944, 1947 and 2025.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
