Who We Are

NCBI is a mission-focused educational institution in Southern Russia. The school was established in 1998 by the Pastoral Council of the region.

In 2008, NCBI became affiliated with Moscow Theological Seminary, the central school under the Russian Evangelical-Baptist Union. Since that time we have also partnered with Russian Leadership Ministries (RLM) based in Wheaton, Illinois.

Our Mission

NCBI exists to prepare men and women for Christian service through educational programs that are biblically founded and culturally relevant.

Our main purpose is to train leaders for existing evangelical churches and prepare missionaries and church-planters for the unreached people groups of Russia.

What Makes NCBI Different?

• The only evangelical school in a region of more than 6 million Muslims.
• Nine academic programs under three schools, in several locations.
• 185 students from more than 80 churches.
• Non-resident learning - only six to eight weeks of residence per year required.
• Offers students real experience in missions.
• A church-based and church-governed school.
