History

Crown College was founded in 1991. The faculty and students of Crown College agree to uphold the Crown Code, Crown's philosophy of education, and their statement of faith, all of which are based on the Bible or college administration beliefs.[1] [2]

Crown College is nationally accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, which is a religious accreditor only, unlike other more common and widely accepted [accreditation].[3] Crown College is also authorized for operation as a postsecondary educational institution by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.[4]

Crown College is home to the one-of-a-kind Crown Christian Heritage Center. This center encompasses 30,000 sq. ft. within the main campus and includes hundreds of displays highlighting the lives of Christian men and women who contributed greatly to the cause of Christ.[5]

Academics

The college offers the Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree, with concentrations in pastoral ministry, youth ministry, missions, music ministry,[6] Christian education,[7] business,[8] trades and technology,[9] a Christian Life Certificate,[10] and opportunities for individual study through online programs,[11] the school of International Language Navigators,[12] and the Crown Music Conservatory.[13] The Crown Seminary offers the M.C.E., M.S.M., M.Min., M.B.S., and M.Div. degrees.[14] The college also has an auxiliary campus in Birmingham, England.[15]

The main campus in Powell was formerly a Levi Strauss manufacturing plant that was extensively renovated for use as a college. The new campus employs the neo-classical architectural design.[citation needed] Located on this campus are classrooms, the Crown Bookshop,[16] the Crown Music Conservatory,[13] the Lee Roberson Christian Heritage Center, the Great Hall dining area, and the campus library.[17] Student housing is available on the campus of Temple Baptist Church and at the North Campus just a few miles away.[18]

The Crown College is a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Division II, and fields teams in men's basketball, men's soccer, and women's volleyball. The Crown College Choir [19] is a signature of the college, having performed across the United States and the United Kingdom.

The Crown College is affiliated with three summer camps: Mount Moriah Christian Camp in Powell, TN,[20] Lake Texoma Baptist Youth Camp in Pottsboro, TX,[21] and Camp Victory near Birmingham, England.[15]
