Our Heritage

Some eighty years ago, NTC started at West Hurlet House near Glasgow. In 1959, we moved to the White House in Didsbury and incorporated Beech Lawn Bible College of Stalybridge. In 1997, Emmanuel College in Birkenhead joined us, commemorated by the Emmanuel Centre, our new library and classroom block.

Initially, students received a college diploma; now, they graduate with a University of Manchester degree as NTC has been a partner college of the University of Manchester since 1992. All gained qualifications, from certificates to doctorates, are Manchester degrees.

Belonging to the World Methodist Council, NTC is among fifty-three global colleges and universities linked with the Church of the Nazarene, a denomination rooted in the 19th century holiness movement. With over two million members in 150+ countries, the church adheres to historic Christian faith and evangelical principles.

NTC warmly welcomes students from any tradition who believe that they can benefit from the kind and quality of education the College offers. Past attendees include Anglicans, Baptists, Brethren, Congregationalists, Church of God of Prophecy, Methodists, Salvationists, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, and many others.

Our Principal, Revd Dr Deirdre Brower Latz, has been leading NTC since 2012.
