God's Bible continues Mount Auburn expansion

God's Bible School and College, a little-known school centered around Ringgold and Young streets in Mount Auburn, continues to acquire property as part of its $3 million Faith in the Future campaign.

The college first began acquiring property around the area to drive out crime and make the area more secure for its students.

Two recent purchases were made on Josephine Street, on which the college owns the majority of the properties. Uptown Consortium's Parks and Neighborhood Revitalization Plan envisions the creation of a new gateway for both the college and for Filson Park at the corner of Dorchester and Josephine.

Some of the homes on the street will become student housing, either through rehabilitation or infill.

Construction of the new Facilities Building at Josephine and Ringgold streets is nearing completion. This building will also house the offices of the Campus Adminstrator.

A search of the county auditor's website shows that the college now owns 67 properties in the neighborhood, all of them along Ringgold, Young, Channing, Carmalt and Josephine streets.

God's Bible School was established in 1900 and has over 230 students. Seventy percent of students live on their Mount Auburn campus.
