Foreword

Crown College sits on 215 acres of wooded, rolling hills approximately 30 minutes west of Minneapolis. A recognized leader in biblical higher education, Crown offers four-year programs for students preparing for professions in a variety of fields as well as graduate studies.

Near the communities of Waconia and St. Bonifacius, Minnesota, Crown College offers a place of retreat for learning and growth. Crown College believes that the truth of God’s Word is an absolutely essential ingredient in education. Students not only learn about life—they learn how to change the world. Students also learn to live out the Christ life while in a community of believers that desires to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (II Peter 3:18).

The institution was founded in 1916 by Reverend J. D. Williams for the purpose of educating men and women for Christian ministry. The College resided in St. Paul, Minnesota, for over 50 years: first in a private home, later on Sherburne Avenue, and for many years at 1361 Englewood Avenue. In 1970, the College was moved to its present campus.

Crown College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission—a member of the North Central Association (NCA), 230 South LaSalle Street, Suite 7-500, Chicago, IL 60604.
