Life Pacific College
Life Pacific College was founded in Echo Park, Los Angeles, California, in 1923 as Echo Park Evangelistic and Missionary Training Institute by Aimee Semple McPherson. Its name was changed to LIFE Bible College, LIFE standing for "Lighthouse of International Foursquare Evangelism", in 1926 when it moved into a newly constructed five-story complex next door to Angelus Temple. In 1990 the college relocated to its current home in San Dimas, California. In the early 2000s its present name was adopted.
LPC is associated with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel and serves as the denomination's primary center for the education of ministers, missionaries and teachers. There was formerly a sister school on the East Coast that performed a similar function, started in 1957 as Mount Vernon Bible College in Mount Vernon, Ohio. It moved to Christiansburg, Virginia and changed its name to LIFE Bible College East in 1988. In 2003 LIFE East closed for financial reasons and its records were transferred to Life Pacific College. Along with six traditional degrees offered at the San Dimas campus (A.A. in General Studies, B.A. in Biblical Studies, B.A. in Transformational Ministry, B.A. in Business Administration, B.A. Human Development & Psychology, B.A. Worship Arts & Media), it also offers two non-traditional programs (M.A. in Strategic Leadership, B.A. in Ministry & Leadership) Life Pacific College now also provides an A.A. degree in General Studies at LPC Ignite on the Christiansburg campus.
== Alumni ==
Alumni have played a significant role not only within the Foursquare church, but also within the Assemblies of God, Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard movement. Life's most prominent graduates include pastors Jack Hayford, Chuck Smith, Ronald D. Mehl, Ricky Temple, Jim Tolle, and the African American actor, pastor and academic Otis Young.
LPC has always focused on educating men and women in practical ministry and for much of its history few alumni pursued additional education. However, it has now become common for Life alumni to attend seminary or graduate school. Several alumni have also earned academic doctorates from institutions such as Fuller Seminary, Regent University, and the universities of Nebraska, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Aberdeen and Oxford.
