About Hobe Sound Bible College
According to Wikipedia, Hobe Sound Bible College is a private Bible college in Hobe Sound, Florida. It is a part of the conservative holiness movement and aligned with Wesleyan-Arminian theology. History First known as Hobe Sound Bible Institute, the college was founded in 1960 under the leadership of Stephen D. Herron, a Wesleyan Methodist minister and prominent camp meeting speaker and general evangelist, the school's founder and president for 25 years. He had the vision for a conservative holiness school that would offer a quality education. Herron approached H. Robb French and Florida Evangelistic Association, now Hope International Missions, about year-round utilization of the camp meeting facilities for a Bible college. They offered the grounds and facilities of Sea Breeze Camp for such a school.
