The Crown College, a Distinctive Christian College,[1] is a Bible college, trade school, seminary, and music conservatory in Powell, Tennessee.

About

Clarence Sexton[2] founded Crown College 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.[3]

Crown College is nationally accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.[4] Crown College is also authorized for operation as a postsecondary educational institution by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.[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] Since opening in 1991, thousands of men and women have received their diplomas and are now serving the Lord around the world.[16]

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,[17] the Crown Music Conservatory,[18] the Lee Roberson Christian Heritage Center, the Great Hall dining area, and an ever-growing library.[19] Student housing is available on the campus of Temple Baptist Church and at the North Campus just a few miles away.[20]
