About the college
In 1902 Point Loma Nazarene University opened its doors to over 3000 students annually. When it was first founded, it was named Pacific Bible College. It went through many different names before it was christened Point Loma Nazarene University in 1998. They have five more campuses located in Arcadia, Bakersfield, Inland Empire, Mission valley, and San Diego.
In defining Point Loma’s message there is a Bible encased in protective glass that belonged to Phineas and it is opened to Isaiah 62, Bresee claimed this chapter as the schools chapter. It has his fingerprints permanently on it. This is the message of being grounded by Scripture, and pursuing an education and serving the poor out of a first and intense love for God and His word.
