With more than fifty years of educational experience, Dallas Christian College (DCC) continues to prepare servant leaders for positions in their church, their community, and the world. Former missionary Vernon Newland met with church leadership to discuss details surrounding the founding of an institution that would train leaders for ministry. It was the identification a great need for leadership in churches across Texas that the founders envisioned Dallas Christian College. Over the years, this vision has grown to include two locations in Dallas's city center in addition to a campus in the historic northwest Dallas County vicinity of Farmers Branch. As the College continues to expand, faculty and staff continue to strive to provide guidance for students in their quest to discover the God-given talents and gifts that they can then apply in service to the Lord.
