Dr. Linton C. Johnson was its first President. Eight students composed the original student body. The college added a third year of study in 1949, a fourth year in 1950 and awarded its first Bachelor's degrees to five students in 1951. In August 2008 the college purchased a tract in Gallatin, Tennessee, to become the site of a new larger campus.

In July 2012 at the National Association of Free Will Baptist in Memphis, the denomination voted to change the name of the college to Welch College. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welch College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
