Lincoln Christian College and Seminary announces name change

[May 05, 2009]  It is anticipated that several hundred students, faculty, staff and special guests will attend the Founders' Day celebration today on the campus of Lincoln Christian College and Seminary. The focus of the day will be the rich legacy of the college and seminary over its 65-year history.

During the celebration, the school will introduce its first-ever published history, "Verses and Voices," authored by Dr. Tom Tanner. The morning will be capped off with an announcement by LCCS President Keith Ray that the college and seminary will formally take the name Lincoln Christian University on Sept. 1.

Lincoln Christian currently offers a comprehensive scope of degrees, from Associate in Arts, bachelor's and master's degrees to a Doctor of Ministry degree. In addition to the name change, the university will add undergraduate programs in philosophy and an Associate of Science in pre-nursing. A third school will be introduced, called the Hargrove School. It will continue to provide adult education offerings, master's level online learning and expanded off-site venues.

"This is a great opportunity to expand on the rich heritage of our schools with an eye for a promising future," said Ray.

The school will celebrate this milestone event and the formal implementation of the university name at the convocation service on Sept. 1. The countdown details will be available at www.lccs.edu.
