Nazareth Evangelical College was created in 2014 as a result of a merger of two other Bible colleges: Galilee Bible College (GBC) and Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary (NETS).
With the departure of NETS's primarily Western staff in 2013, NETS was handed over to entirely Arab leadership, turned into a purely Arab-language institution, and was merged with GBC to become Nazareth Evangelical College, Israel's only theological seminary dedicated to serving the country's Arab evangelical minority in their own language.
