In 1944 Rev. A. G. Knopp opened a Bible school in Vancouver in the basement of a private home. The school originally was an extension of Regina Bible Institute. It later moved to the Grace Evangelical United Brethren Church after the 1946 merger. The school closed in 1953 when Rev. Knopp was transferred to another pastorate. Originally named Western Bible Institute, the name was later changed to Evangelical Bible Institute.
