History

Lee Roberson led Highland Park Baptist Church in the creation of the Tennessee Temple schools in 1946. Originally a two-year college and Bible school, it soon expanded to a four-year college, Bible school, and seminary. University status was granted in 1979. Tennessee Temple University received full accreditation by the American Association of Bible Colleges in 1984. Since September 2000 it has been accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS), which is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation.

A new administration was implemented in May 2005, with Danny Lovett as the new university president. In March 2008 Lovett announced in the chapel services and at Highland Park Baptist Church that Tennessee Temple University will be providing distance education programs to people in the countries of Vietnam and Iraq, with possible building projects for a school in Northern Iraq. A specific city and time frame was not released in this announcement.

Student life

Female students are currently housed in DeMoss Hall, with males being housed in the Wagner-Alumni and Lennon dormitories. The campus cafeteria serves three meals a day. There is a post office, bookstore, coffeeshop and computer lab. The Cierpke Memorial Library contains thousands of volumes as well as a quiet study area and a large research department. Spiritual enrichment is an important part of campus life; chapel is held twice a week and all students are required to attend. Prayer groups are held on Monday nights in the dormitories. Campus activities include a Homecoming formal, a yearly Missions conference, the Judgment Day production, and various student-led trips and outings.
