About Us

Our vision is to see students who complete the Nicolet Bible Institute program leave with a solid biblical foundation, a passion to serve others, and an appetite to evangelize their world. We need Christians in all walks of life who know God, know His Word, and are committed to serving our King.

Nicolet Bible Institute is not for everyone, but it is an important option for those who want to serve our King in a secular or ministry setting. Students come to us from all over the United States. Some continue their education after NBI, while others enter into careers or ministry opportunities.

Wherever you end up, we invite you to consider the opportunities that Nicolet Bible Institute offers.

History

Nicolet Bible Institute, once called Pathfinders, began in 1981 with the dream to provide a year-long training program for high-school graduates. Its purpose was threefold: to provide students a quality biblical foundation, to model servanthood, and to help students find God’s direction for their lives.

In 1991, the Pathfinder program began to build upon its educational credibility, and became known as Northwoods Christian Camping Institute. During this time Northwoods Christian Camping Institute focused on developing its structure and acquiring additional faculty. In 1999, Northwoods Christian Camping Institute became Nicolet Bible Institute. Today, Nicolet Bible Institute’s program is founded on a well-defined Bible and service training curriculum. With quality faculty, Nicolet Bible Institute maintains credit transfer agreements with several four-year colleges. Coupled with the beautiful northwoods campus, a year at NBI is a truly unique educational experience.
