History of the Vennard Gilmore Scholarships
|
| Early in the 20th century, in the Midwest United States, two colleges were founded by the Holiness movement. |
| |
In 1906 a Christian liberal arts college opened its doors
in University
Park, Iowa.
Central Holiness University educated students for a variety of
professions,
while
preparing
them for lives
of
promoting
evangelism
in a secular world.
Education on the CHU campus was the vision of Mrs. Eloise Tinsley Gilmore. |
|
In 1910 a Bible college was founded in Chicago to
train young men and women
for professional
Christian service. Chicago Evangelistic Institute
provided
education based upon the
scriptural doctrine of
holiness as
taught by John Wesley.
Dr. Iva Durham Vennard was the founder of CEI, later known as Vennard College. |

Many of us have said that the work of Vennard College must continue. We believe in the need to train exemplary young people to be the Christian leaders of the future. Our method of offering that training has been altered. But our commitment to education remains steadfast.
Visit the Scholarship Contributions page for details on how you can contribute now to the Scholarship Fund, or plan a long-range donation.
Also on that page we have an audio of clip of President Harris discussion the importance of supporting education. |
