Nazarene Bible College welcomes Ron Blake as the first vice president for institutional advancement in its 57-year history. This will be a volunteer position primarily focused on development and constituent relations. 

“It feels like a miracle for God to provide a leader of Ron’s stature to create the advancement functions every college today must have in order to thrive,” said NBC President Scott Sherwood.

Blake has served five churches as lead pastor, most recently Indianapolis Westside and Detroit First, two districts as a superintendent, and the denomination as director of Global Clergy Development.  

He is a former Olivet Nazarene University trustee, where he served a term as chair.  He has also served on the denomination’s General Board. Blake is an in-demand speaker at revivals, retreats, and camp meetings and has preached in numerous countries on four continents.

Ron has been married to his wife, Susanne, for 43 years. Susanne is an ordained elder, a former full-time hospital chaplain, and an NBC alum.  

“As a district superintendent and the husband of an NBC alum, I have greatly appreciated the spiritual and academic quality of an NBC education,” Ron said. “I have found NBC grads to be especially effective and well-prepared to meet the demands of 21st-century ministry.”
