EuNC sells Büsingen campus

EuNC sells Büsingen campus

by | 05 Jun 2015

European Nazarene College released the following statement regarding its campus in Büsingen, Switzerland:

What has been announced earlier has taken place now: The property and facilities of European Nazarene College in Büsingen have been sold. The EuNC Board of Trustees unanimously voted on this step in January 2014, and the General Board of the Church of the Nazarene approved it in its meeting in February 2015. We are thankful that we were able to sell the campus to the town of Büsingen. After long negotiations, the sales contract was signed in March. On 30 June 2015, the keys to the buildings will be turned over to Mayor Möll. The college board and administration have been experiencing God’s guidance throughout the process and are confident that this step was necessary for European Nazarene College to be viable and to fulfil its mission.

During the next weeks, the buildings and the property are being prepared to be turned over to the new owner and the move of the organisation needs to be arranged. A final decision on the location for the new EuNC Administrative Centre is still pending. One of the reasons for this is that the EuNC Board of Trustees needs to vote on the new location in their next meeting in January 2016, which needs to happen before the move can take place. The new location will be in the Frankfurt area of Germany. In the meantime, EuNC will be renting the library space of the present location until February 2016 from the town of Büsingen. This provides the storage space needed for everything that will be moved to the new location such as library materials, the EuNC archives, and all necessary office furniture and equipment. Please, pray with us for this process and that we continue to follow God’s guidance as He “teaches us the way we should go” (Psalm 32:8). 

EuNC has approximately 15 learning centers serving more than 300 students in 17 countries. In 2006, EuNC followed its own strategic plan to decentralize its theological education among the four fields it serves across the Eurasia Region. As a result, attendance at the learning centers expanded while attendance at the central campus in Büsingen gradually declined. The residential program closed in June 2011.
