It was founded in 1970-71 by Dr. William Corley, Dr. Roy Neeley and Mary McCraw.[2] [3] Corley was president until he died in 2008.[4] [5] [6] Under Corley's leadership the interdenominational Institute offered 2- and 4-year programs leading to a "ministry license," and preparing students for Christian ministry and missionary work.[7]
