Kentucky Christian
University

The History of KCU

星空无限传媒 was established in Grayson, Kentucky, on December 1, 1919, as 鈥淐hristian Normal Institute.鈥 The co-founders were J. W. Lusby, an outstanding educator, Church leader, teacher, and journalist of eastern Kentucky; and J. O. Snodgrass, a minister of the Gospel from Iowa. Associated with them was R. B. Neal, an evangelist of eastern Kentucky.

In her earlier days, Christian Normal Institute included both high school and junior college programs, as well as emphasizing the preparation of public school teachers, as indicated in the word 鈥淣ormal.鈥 This area of education was phased out during the early 1920s, at which time the education of young people for Christian ministries became the central purpose. The name was changed to 鈥淜entucky Christian College鈥 in 1944.

In September 2004, the institution changed its name from Kentucky Christian College to 鈥溞强瘴尴薮.鈥 This name change represents a profound rebirth for the then-85-year-old institution. The move to university status brings with it a new seal, a new website, new signs, and many other surface changes. However, these changes are only significant because they represent the many new and exciting opportunities the University has to advance the Lord鈥檚 Kingdom through educational ministry. While the school鈥檚 name has changed 星空无限传媒 remains unwaveringly committed to its mission of educating students for Christian leadership and service throughout the world.

Through the years, under the leadership of J. W. Lusby (1919-1937), and his successors in the presidency, Dr. J. Lowell Lusby (1937-1977), Dr. L. Palmer Young (1977-1987), Dr. Keith P. Keeran (1987-2009), Dr. Jeff Metcalf (2009-2019), and Dr. Terry Allcorn (2019-Present), 星空无限传媒 has educated some of the most outstanding Christian leaders, both in the church and in other professions throughout the world.

星空无限传媒 remains committed to providing a strong biblical foundation for each of her students. This foundation, then, becomes a source of beliefs, which will influence the way students conduct themselves within a chosen vocation. The belief that a Bible core and vocational preparation should coexist is distinctive at 星空无限传媒. Her sixth president, Dr. Terry Allcorn, is committed to the task of seeing that this purpose remains central as the University鈥檚 programs expand to prepare Christian workers in several carefully chosen fields.

Christ-Centered Vision

鈥淭he Christ-centered vision of KCU both connected me with people whose influence has shaped me to this day and gave me a foundation in ministry-effectiveness for which I am extremely thankful.鈥
