History
Nipawin Bible College, incorporated as Two Rivers Bible Institute (TRBI), was founded in 1934 at the height of the Great Depression. Its first campus was located at the fork where the Leather River joins with the Carrot River. In 1957, after several years of damaging floods, the school relocated to its present campus 1-mile (1.6 km) south of Nipawin, Saskatchewan.
