Our story began over 70 years ago as Chicago Bible College, with humble roots at Philadelphia Church in Chicago. Long before our official incorporation in 1950, people gathered to study Scripture and prepare for ministry. As the vision grew, so did the college—expanding into a full-time institution committed to raising up pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and Christian leaders. Through decades of change, relocations, and growth—including our move to Mount Prospect in 1981 and the transition to our current name—Christian Life College has remained faithful to its calling. Today, we continue that legacy, training generations for lifelong service in God’s Kingdom.
