Abstract | In 1955 a private, Christian higher education institution began with a unique and distinct Pentecostal foundation. Part of the mission was to perpetuate the faith and belief systems of the Assemblies of God denomination. The institution was simultaneously attempting to sustain the denomination's growth through the training of young people while also perpetuating the belief systems of the denomination. Interestingly, this denomination was largely apathetic, at best, and antagonistic, at worst, towards the idea of higher education. In spite of these attitudes, the founders were successful in starting the college, and success in graduating classes, achieving accreditation, and growing the programs quickly followed. This historical narrative attempts to share the journey of the first 25 years of the institution's existence through the perceptions and experiences of alumni and leaders while also exploring how the university may or may not have perpetuated the Pentecostal belief systems.
