1953, OBI initiated legal action to change its name to the Omaha Baptist Bible Institute (OBBI). On April 25, 1960, the institute’s board of directors authorized the board’s executive committee to take legal steps to change the Institute’s name again to the Omaha Baptist Bible College (OBBC) in order to reflect its status as a degree granting institution. On November 5, 1964, the college was notified of its accreditation by the Accreditation Association of Bible Colleges. Move to Ankeny, Iowa By 1965, the campus in Omaha had become overcrowded. In addition to the original townhouse located on Park Avenue and a metal, quonset building built at the back of the property, a new building had been built on Park Avenue and a second building built on Pacific Street at the back of the college property. The college’s board unanimously voted to move the college to an undeveloped thirty acres located in the northwestern section of Ankeny, Iowa, now a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa’s state capital. Later, on June 1, 1965, the board appointed David Nettleton, formerly pastor of the Grand View Baptist Church, Des Moines, as college president. In moving to Ankeny in the summer of 1967, Comstock Avenue, the street at the front of the new college property, was changed to College Avenue. The first buildings to be built were the college Administration building and a multipurpose building. One of the next buildings added to the new campus was the library, originally built as the college’s library and as classrooms. The building has since been totally taken over by the library and named Patten Hall, in honor of FBBC’s president of eighteen years, Dr. John L. Patten. By October 1, 1967, two hundred and sixty-seven students were enrolled at the college’s new campus. Faced with the need for a new name for the college that already had two name changes, the name ultimately chosen for the college at its new location was Faith Baptist Bible College. In 1982, Faith offered its first graduate program, a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies. Faith Baptist Theological Seminary began in 1986, merging with Denver Baptist Bible College. Campus Faith's campus is located in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines. At the time of its construction, the campus was the westernmost point in Ankeny. Within fifteen years, residential development surrounded the property. The campus is built around a large center circle. It
