Timeline
1928
PBC started in 1928 when the Lord placed a burden on the heart of the Reverend Carment Urquhart to commence a Bible Institute in Perth, Western Australia. On the 2nd of July of that year, Rev Urquhart took a bold step of faith and launched what is today called PBC, previously Perth Bible Institute.
1934
Known as PBI – Perth Bible Institute, has had several homes over the years. We rented our earliest premises in the Mount Lawley area. In September 1934, the College moved into buildings on our own land in Joondanna, Perth.
1952
From February 1951 until July 1986, we moved back to Mount Lawley, then to the current Karrinyup campus, complete with outstanding student accommodation.
1986 – present
Since PBC was established, many distinguished men and women of God have held leadership positions at the College, and over 1600 students have passed through its doors. Many of these students have graduated into full-time Christian ministry here in Australia and across every continent and corner of the world.
