History
Laurel University is the oldest undergraduate theological education institution in North Carolina.
Greensboro Bible and Training School started in Greensboro in the fall of 1903, as a result of an area revival held by Rev. Seth Rees and Rev. Charles Weigle. The school closed abruptly after spring semester in 1931 due to insurmountable financial difficulties.
Following an all-night prayer service with well-known former Methodist Episcopal Church South evangelist Jim H. Green (1880-1955), the group decided to reopen the Greensboro Bible and Literary Institute on January 15, 1932, in the same facilities with many of the same teachers and students. This time, it was called People's Bible School.
The revamped school, which started with four faculty (from the previous institute) and 18 students, later became known as John Wesley College (1956) and Laurel University (2011). This college distributed the People's Herald periodical, later titled The Crusader. The college remained non-denominational while promoting a distinctively Wesleyan-Holiness view on entire sanctification, with fellow Methodist Evangelist John R. Church as its first board chairman.
The college was influential in the founding of the People's Methodist Church, which later merged with the Evangelical Methodist Church. The small "chain of tabernacles" was created so ministry students would have inexpensive venues to preach and conduct revival services during the Great Depression.
