God's Bible School and College (GBS) sits on a hilltop campus in Cincinnati's urbanized Carthage neighborhood, approximately three miles from downtown. Established in 1900 by Martin Wells Knapp as one of America's earliest Bible colleges, GBS operates as a conservative, interdenominational Christian institution in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. The college focuses on ministerial preparation, offering programs in pastoral ministry, missions, teacher education, and music, while maintaining its historical emphasis on practical Christian service. The compact 8-acre campus features a mix of historic and modern buildings, including dormitories where most students reside as part of the school's residential education model. GBS maintains accreditation through the Association for Biblical Higher Education and participates in service-oriented activities throughout the Cincinnati metropolitan area.
