At the 1947 annual Council of the Churches of Christ in Christian Union, the foundation was laid for establishing a Christian training college on the Mount of Praise Campground in Circleville, Ohio. Throughout the following year, preparations went forward and the college received its first class of students in September, 1948. By the mid-sixties it became apparent that the college could no longer fulfill its function if it remained on the Mount of Praise Campground. Thus plans were made to set aside a forty-acre tract of the church farm on Route 22 east of Circleville as a college campus. The first building for the administration was occupied in 1966. Building plans progressed rapidly after this time with the men's dormitory ready for occupancy in 1967, the college chapel in 1968, and the academic building in 1969. By early 1970 the campus center was placed in operation providing recreational and physical education facilities. In December of 1972 the women's dormitory had become a reality, thus completing the first phase of the new campus development. To improve matters further, a state-approved mobile home park known as Campus Court is in full operation. A limited number of apartments are available as well, with the most recent four-plex being completed in 1998.
