THE COLLEGE HISTORY

The college, founded and sponsoredby members of Churches of Christ, ischartered as a private, religious, coeduca-tional institution, known as SouthwesternChristian College of Terrell, Texas.In the fall of 1948, with some forty-five

students attending, a small beginning wasmade in Fort Worth, Texas under thename of Southern Bible Institute.The Board intended to buy property in

Fort Worth to erect a permanent schoolplant, but in the summer of 1949, anopportunity was afforded to purchase theschool property formerly owned by theTexas Military College in Terrell. Whenthe military school closed and the prop-erty was offered for sale, the Trusteespurchased it. At this time the name waschanged to Southwestern ChristianCollege.On the college campus stands the first

dwelling erected in Terrell. This homebuilt by a man named Terrell, was con-structed in an octagonal shape to givebetter protection against Indians. Today,it remains as one of the twenty survivinground houses in the nation-listed by theDallas Centennial as a place of interest tovisit.

Even when it was built, the house wasthe object of interest as it contained thefirst glass windows in Kaufman County.The doors, however, were typical of thepioneer houses in that they were puttogether with wooden pegs. The originaldoors have long since been removed, andother rooms have been added at the backof the house, but the original logs used assupports in the house are still supportingthe building. The local chapter of theHistorical Society has placed a historicalmarker at the round house site.The former administration building

destroyed by fire January 27, 2008, wasbuilt and used as a school. Mr. W.B.Toone, whose wife was born in the roundhouse to Mr. and Mrs. Terrell, operated aco-educational school from 1896 to1904. He sold it to the Methodists whoreturned the property to Mr. Toone about1908. It was then sold to Colonel Perrywho operated it as a private militaryschool.After Colonel Perry’s death, the school

was continued by his wife, daughter, andson-in-law, and later by the people ofTerrell.The Trustees of SwCC bought the

property from the Perry estate in 1949and began operation the following fall.

MISSION STATEMENT

Southwestern Christian College’s pur-pose is to offer a holistic educationalprogram that will motivate the studentto value and achieve academic excel-lence within the context of commitmentto moral and spiritual values: to assiststudents in making their transitions fromhigh school to higher education on vari-ous levels; to assist students in prepara-tion for varied vocations in life; to pre-pare future leaders for their distinctcommunities and the world at large.

GUIDING PHILISOPHY

In the founding and establishing ofSouthwestern Christian College, thosewho participated were motivated by amutual desire to provide for its studentspreparation for effective and successfulChristian living. Each was keenly sensi-tive to the urgency of this need. Toappreciate its importance, one mustfully understand the concepts of“Christian Living.”Man is a social being and, as such,

must be prepared to adjust himself to hisenvironment and fellow man. He mustbe able to participate fully in those socialadvances that characterize progress.He must acquire the ability to expresseffectively his own ideas, work coopera-

tively with others, and pursue a person-ally satisfying and socially constructivevocation free from the fears that crushinitiative, frustrate ambition, and under-mine self-reliance.These virtues, however, do not consti-

tute the entirety of the concept of“Christian Living”. They attain their truesignificance in the pattern of humanconduct only when founded upon a sin-cere and conscientious pursuit of thespiritual development of the individual.One must know, understand, and followthe divinely inspired pattern for thisgrowth. Man has a responsibility to Godthat supersedes all others, and God hasstated the terms by which that responsi-bility is to be met. Since the Bible isGod's revelation of the pattern ofSpiritual development, daily instructionin His Word is a fundamental aspect ofSwCC. To the founders and supportersof Southwestern Christian College, thisis the most significant aspect of thewhole pattern of human growth anddevelopment.In keeping with this concept of

“Christian Living”, SouthwesternChristian College is dedicated to thepurpose of offering such academicinstruction that will prepare the studentto effectively take his place in the busi-ness and social world, well rooted andgrounded in the Word of God.
