Overview: Simmons College of Kentucky, is a private, co-educational college located in Louisville, Kentucky. Founded in 1879, Simmons College is a historically black college.

This would also give opportunity for an annual church leadership conference to be held in NBCA’ s own facility. This way we pool our resources and spend dollars with our HBCU and NBCA. This partnership bends us back to a major focus of support of HBCU’s, do miles our Headquarters at Simmons, develops the fifty-six (56) Acre NBCA Retreat/Leadership Complex, and eventually constructs the E. Edward Jones Conference Complex. This concept will serve our congregations.
