History & Fun Facts

  • The church voted to establish the college in September 1935, and in January 1936 the church bought land in Spokane, Washington, for the school.
  • It was then incorporated on February 9, 1937, as "Pacific Bible College" with classes starting in October 1937.
  • Then Pacific Bible College moved to Oregon in 1940 to its current campus in the Mount Tabor neighborhood of Southeast Portland.
  • In 1959, it was renamed as "Warner Pacific College," and in 1961 received full accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
