World Harvest Bible College, which was formerly known as Indiana Christian University, is a Christian university located in South Bend, Indiana. It is accredited by the Transworld Accrediting Commission International, which oversees and accredits more than 100 Christian colleges and seminaries.
The institution now known as the World Harvest Bible College began in 1907 as a Bible education group, was chartered in 1923 as the Indiana Bible Institute, and became Indiana Bible College in 1934. It adopted the Indiana Christian University name in 1940.[1] In 1988 it became part of Lester Sumrall Evangelistic Association (LeSEA Ministries) of South Bend, Indiana,[2] and merged with World Harvest Bible College in 1993.[1][3]
The school went by Indiana Christian University until 2014, when the board of trustees opted to return to its original name, World Harvest Bible College.
