Since 1996, we have been raising up world-class leaders through the local church. California Coast Bible College was birthed out of The City Church Seattle (now ChurcHome). The pastors and leaders of The City Church Seattle established a core structure and format of the program based on their vision to impart mentoring, prayer, biblical instruction, practical ministry application, and biblically-based leadership development through the context of the local church.

Over the past 25+ years, well over 1,000 students have graduated from the program, many of which are serving in integral areas of influence in a variety of vocations and ministry arenas today. Pastor Jude Fouquier and his staff have also been instrumental in helping various local churches birth their own leadership training programs all over the world.

In the fall of 2010, Pastors Jude and Becky moved to Ventura, California to launch City Church California. Pastor Jude, having always possessed a passion and heart to train young leaders, launched a leadership training school within the first year of starting the church. 

California Coast Bible College started in the fall of 2011 (as Generation Interns) and obtained official status as an extension campus of Portland Bible College. In 2014, California Coast Bible College became an independent bible college and received its status from the state of California as an official degree granting institution. Since 2011, over 430 students have completed the program.
