CBC: Compel
Where everyone majors in changing the world.
Catalyst Bible College is powered by Nelson University.
About Our Campus
Founded on the vision to compel the unconvinced to become passionate followers of Christ, we are now one church in multiple locations. Through the vision of God and the leadership of our lead pastors, Patrick & Treasa Conrad, we believe that church should be more than just religion and ritual. It should be relevant, authentic and fun! We are convinced that if you show up as you are, God will lead you to embrace truth, experience freedom, live intentionally and make a difference.
Main Site
The main site of Catalyst Bible College is located in Visalia, California. Beginning in 2022, Dr. Mark Merrill and a small team set out to help men and women called to ministry graduate as close to debt-free as possible. Now, offering a variety of accredited degrees. Catalyst Bible College emphasizes a flexible learning environment. Students can engage in a hybrid model of education, combining online coursework with in-person instruction. This approach allows for a personalized educational experience, accommodating various learning styles and schedules.
