HISTORY

Rocky Mountain Bible College & Seminary grew out of a vision Jonathan and Maybelle Smith had concerning the need for a Bible college in the Denver metro area.

Jonathan graduated from John Brown University (BA 1961) and Dallas Theological Seminary (ThM 1965). Prior to founding RMBC&S Jonathan was employed at Western Bible College as a full-time Instructor of Bible in the Bible/Theology and Contemporary Society Department (1977-85). In 1985 a merge between Western Bible College and Rockmont College created Colorado Christian College where Jonathan became Professor and Chairman of the Bible and Theology Department (1985-88).

In September 1991, Jonathan & Maybelle Smith and Greg Stiers co-founded Tandem Ministries (with Jonathan as president). Tandem College and Warriors for Christ were subdivisions of Tandem Ministries. In 1995 Tandem Ministries was renamed to Dare 2 Share and Tandem College became Rocky Mountain Bible College to reflect its purpose and geographical location. Later that same year the name “Rocky Mountain Seminary” was acquired and added to the name of the college, expanding the education opportunities to include seminary education.
