The Institut Biblique de Nogent is the only interdenominational Bible college in France. Since its foundation in 1921, the Institute's motto has been "The whole Christ in the whole of the Bible, for the whole world.” The Institute is well-known in French evangelical circles and played a significant role in fostering relationships between evangelical denominations which led to the creation of the CNEF (National Council of French Evangelicals) in 2010. Over 100 years, more than 2,000 students have been trained for pastoral ministry, evangelism or mission, and alumni have gone on to serve on all five continents. This year, a new accommodation block was opened, almost doubling student capacity so that more pastors can be trained, in order to meet the needs of the growing Evangelical church.
