History & Purpose
History
Atlanta Bible College originated from the Bible Training School operated by the National Bible Institution from 1923 until 1932 and located in Oregon, IL. During the economic depression of the 1930s the school was closed. In 1939 the school reopened and the reorganized school was named Oregon Bible College in 1942. In 1991 the college relocated from Oregon, IL to Morrow, GA and was renamed Atlanta Bible College.
It is not clear when the Alumni Association was formed, but publications show that it was in existence in 1947. The current version of the Constitution of the Association was first adopted in January 1962.
Purpose
According to the Constitution the Association exists:
- To maintain contacts with classmates and school and community;
