History
The Mount Zion Bible School was founded in 1924 by Rev. Christine Gibson at East Providence, Rhode Island. It was also at one time named School of the Prophets. As the Zion Bible Institute, it was closely associated with Zion Gospel Temple, an independent Pentecostal church, which was pastored by Reuben Gibson, the husband of Rev. Christine A. Gibson. The nearby Zion Faith Home, Inc., was also connected with the school and church for many years while the campus was located in East Providence, Rhode Island.
In 1985, Zion Bible Institute relocated to Barrington, under the leadership of Dr. N. Benjamin Crandall, president from 1985 to 2000. The campus was the former home of Barrington College. The centerpiece of the campus was renamed the Gibson Memorial Building, named in honor of the ZBC's founder. Originally known as the Peck Mansion, it is listed on the historic sites registry for the state of Rhode Island. It housed the President's Office, a variety of additional offices, and the library.
The school became affiliated with the Assemblies of God in 2000. In 2001, it attained accredited status with the Association for Biblical Higher Education. Following Crandall, Rev. George Cope took the presidency. George Cope chose submitted his resignation as president in late 2005. In 2007, former assistant superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Reverend Charles Crabtree, accepted the position of president.
In 2007, David Green, CEO and founder of the Hobby Lobby chain of hobby stores, purchased the former Bradford College campus in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The 18-acre campus was given to Zion Bible College, and Zion was to fund the repairs and upgrades that were necessary before the shuttered Bradford College campus was reopened. The college reopened on their new campus in the fall of 2008.
