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 Contd
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.
