Vennard College exists as a Wesleyan-Holiness Bible College to educate the mind, build character, and develop ministry skills and Christian devotion for the purpose of serving the Church and impacting the world for Christ.
In 1910, Dr. Iva Durham Vennard founded Chicago Evangelistic Institute (CEI) in Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose of providing "effective training for Christian service." Her stated goals were to send Spirit-filled people into the ministry and to promote Scriptural Holiness.
In 1951, the school moved to University Park, Iowa, where it was renamed Vennard College in 1959. The move to the beautiful, rural setting brought Vennard into a familial relationship with the graduates of the three other Christian colleges which formerly occupied the campus: Central Holiness University, John Fletcher College, and Kletzing College.
Dr. Vennard's presidency was followed by the leadership of Dr. Harry E. Jessop. Presidents of Vennard College have included Dr. H. M. Couchenour, Dr. J. Sutherland Logan, Dr. Merne A. Harris, Dr. Warthen T. Israel, Dr. Burnis Bushong (interim president) and Dr. Blake J. Neff.
In 1996, Vennard College was newly incorporated to continue the tradition of Christian higher education on this historic campus with Dr. W. Edward Rickman as president. In 2002, current president Dr. Bruce E. Moyer picked up the reigns of leadership to guide Vennard College into the 21st Century.
Vennard College is dedicated to these doctrinal positions: Vennard College's Statement of Faith
Vennard College is dedicated to these doctrinal positions:
The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, completely trustworthy (inerrant), and the final authority for faith and practice of the believer.
God is one, infinitely perfect, Creator of all things, and eternally existing in three distinct Persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who are one in nature, attributes, power, and glory.
Jesus Christ is truly God and truly human. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, was crucified and resurrected bodily to make full provision for redemption.
