History
The Bible College at Fossnes was founded in 1992. The little missionary organization Norsk Luthersk Lekmannsmisjon (literally: Norwegian Lutheran Laymanmission) is the owner organization. We wish to take care of the rich Lutheran heritage from the 15th century reformation, and the spiritual revival in the Scandinavian countries in the 18th and 19th century, which started with the layman and revival preacher Hans Nielsen Hauge, and lather deepened by the revival led by the Swedish preacher Carl Olof Rosenius.
With our Bible College we wish:
- to be a bible-school, and therefore we emphasizes the bible subjects
- to disseminate unchanged what the Bible itself says
- that the Word of God can do it’s own work in each student to revival and repentance, salvation and new life, and to deepen and strength the faith and life in God
- to take care of the rich Lutheran heritage, and the heritage from the later revivals in Scandinavia
- to raise distress for the preaching of the gospel to new generations and peoples that never heard it
Location
The College is located in beautiful contryside surroundings in Stokke in Vestfold, hundred kilometers south of Oslo, close to the cities Tønsberg and Sandefjord.
