Tabor College is a four-year private Christian liberal arts college in Hillsboro, Kansas. Tabor is currently owned and operated by the Mennonite Brethren Church and follows the confession of faith of that church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 There were 594 students enrolled at the Tabor College Hillsboro campus for the Fall 2014 semester. Total enrollment, including the Tabor College School of Adult and Graduate Studies in Wichita, Kansas, was 766. ==History== Established in 1908 by those of the Mennonite Brethren and Krimmer Mennonite Brethren faiths, Tabor’s doors were first opened with 39 students and three instructors. Before the end of that school year, enrollment skyrocketed to 104. A fire destroyed the building that housed the college for its first 10 years and supporters of the college quickly joined together and built two new buildings: a dormitory-dining hall and an administration-classroom building. These buildings – the Mary J. Regier Building and the H.W. Lohrenz Building – are still in use today.〔(Tabor College History )〕 While Tabor has continued to be affiliated with the Mennonite Brethren Church, changes have been made in the organizational structure from time to time. The Tabor College Corporation was owned and operated by the college until 1934 when ownership was transferred to the Board of Trustees of the Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Church of North America. The Board of Directors is responsible to the Mennonite Brethren churches of the Central, Southern, Latin America and North Carolina districts.〔 Tabor College also formed an extension of the main institution when Tabor College in Wichita opened offices in 1993 and the first classes began the following year. Undergraduate and graduate degrees have been offered in Wichita and online.〔 As a college that is owned and operated by the Mennonite Brethren Church, Tabor accepts and seeks to follow the Confession of Faith of the General Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, adopted in 1975 and subsequently revised. Mennonite Brethren doctrines are in agreement with those of most evangelical Christians.〔 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「Tabor College (Kansas)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
