Our History (NIBS)
From regional seminars to a permanent campus in Patiala, NIBS has grown as a hub for Baptist theological training across North India.
Seminars began to foster theological literacy among Hindi-speaking pastors and church planters in Northern India.
North India Baptist Seminary was established in November 2013 under the leadership of the present President.
An initial cohort of 16 students from three states enrolled: six from Punjab, five from Uttar Pradesh, and five from Uttarakhand.
