History

The United Christian College, formerly the Bible Training Institute, began as an idea in the mind of the late Bishop J. D. Diggs of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Bishop Diggs labored tirelessly for many years, traveling near and far informing our people of the need for an education department within the United Holy Church of America.

The Church finally adopted the idea, passed a resolution and organized the education department of The United Holy Church with Bishop Diggs being elected as “Secretary of Education”. He was the principal officer of the organization at that time.

History Cont’d…

The first classroom work was done in 1925 when the college was opened in a small church building in north Goldsboro, North Carolina and housed at Pentecostal Holy Church. In 1944, it moved to the new auditorium and education building at 500 Gulley Street, which would serve as the permanent home for the college.

The college was chartered on August 6, 1953 as a Bible college for training missionaries, Christian workers and pastors for a lifetime of Christian service. It has grown tremendously since its inception and continues to make significant progress in its curriculum and development.

Purpose It shall be the purpose of the United

Christian College to lead its students to an understanding of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith and a conviction of their validity in the life of modern men and women.

It shall be the purpose of the United Christian College to provide an education that is Christian, in the larger and deeper sense, so that all class work and all the student’s intellectual, emotional, and imaginative activities will be permeated with the spirit and teachings of Christianity.

The objective of the United Christian College is to adequately prepare its students for Christian leadership and service through the church. We are here to assist preachers, pastors, evangelists, missionaries, teachers, church secretaries, ministers/directors of religious education and ministers/leaders of sacred music who intend to devote their lives to the spreading of the Gospel.
