From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The Master's College is a non-denominational, conservative Christian liberal arts college located in Santa Clarita, California, USA.

History

The Master's College was founded as Los Angeles Baptist Theological Seminary on May 25, 1927 to meet the need for a fundamentalist Baptist school on the West Coast. The intention was to provide a biblical and Christ-centered education consistent with those doctrines of the historic Christian faith.

Dr. William A. Matthews, pastor of Memorial Baptist Church of Los Angeles, became the founder and first president. The seminary was extended an invitation to be temporarily housed at Calvary Baptist Church in the Los Angeles area. Several more moves followed until the seminary moved onto its own property in Los Angeles in 1942.

Dr. Mathews died at his home on August 18, 1943. He was succeeded by presidents C. Gordon Evanson, Floyd Burton Boice, and Henry C. Thiessen. In 1946, the seminary became a graduate-level school and initiated a separate undergraduate and liberal arts program. Following Dr. Thiessen's death in 1947, Dr. Herbert V. Hotchkiss and Dr. Milton E. Fish, a Harvard graduate, strengthened the school scholastically and spiritually.

August 14, 1959 marked a change, as Dr. John R. Dunkin became president, succeeding Dr. Carl M. Sweazy, who returned to full-time evangelism. The new president continued the scriptural position of the school’s leadership.

Almost a year later, the school acquired the Happy Jack Dude Ranch in the town of Newhall, approximately forty miles north of Los Angeles. It comprised twenty-seven acres with a tree-shaded nucleus of seven buildings, some of which could be remodeled for college use. By May 1961, the school occupied the main portion of the new campus. The foreman’s house became King Hall, which now houses the Student Life and Campus Activities offices. H. Vider Hall, which now includes offices for several departments, was once used as a dorm for students, and before that a barracks for the “dudes” of the ranch.
