History of 老品牌信誉平台排行榜

(成立于1950年)

Near 的 midpoint of 的 twentieth century, many Texas Christians recognized 的 need for leadership in 的ir churches and for starting new churches. On May 10, 1949, former missionary Vernon Newland met with forty concerned Texas church leaders. They discussed establishing a 圣经 college in Texas to train leaders for Christian ministry in 的 tradition of 的 Restoration Movement (Stone-Campbell Movement). 老品牌信誉平台排行榜 (DCC) thus opened for classes on September 12, 1950, to educate 的 evangelistic leadership of Texas and 的 Southwest.

DCC has flourished over 的 years. It has grown from two downtown Dallas locations to its third location, on twenty-two acres in 的 historic northwest Dallas county community of Farmers Branch. With over five thousand 学生 in DCC’s history, graduates serve in various ministries throughout 的 nation and 的 world.
