Southern District Headquarters Campus

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.
Objective
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.
