[edit] History
On 10 May 1949, Vernon Newland met with 40 concerned Texas church leaders to discuss establishing a Bible college in the Dallas area to train men and women for the ministry. Dallas Christian College opened for classes in Downtown Dallas on September 12, 1950. The present campus is located in Farmers Branch, a suburb just north of Dallas. The school has grown much and has trained over two thousand students for the ministry. It is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education.[1]
[edit] Community
Every traditional student in any of the degree programs is required to take a double major. Students graduate with a degree in Bible along with their chosen degree. This reflects the college’s conviction that knowledge of Scripture is basic to education. Chapel is also mandatory, with very few exceptions. Full-time students are required to take Bible courses for each semester of enrollment. Students living on campus are required to attend a weekly small-group devotional.
[edit] Athletics
DCC has men’s and women’s basketball and soccer teams and women’s volleyball. They compete in the NCCAA and the ACCA.
[edit] Concert Choir
The Concert Choir is highly acclaimed wherever they sing. They go on an annual choir tour where they sing at community churches across the country. In 2006 they joined the SMU Meadows Choir to sing at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas.
[edit] Quote from the President
Dallas Christian College has been a place where men and women have come to dream about their places in the kingdom...it has been a place where they were actually equipped to fulfill those dreams -President Dustin D. Rubeck [1]
