[edit] Background
San Diego Christian College was founded by Dr. Tim F. LaHaye, pastor of the former Scott Memorial Baptist Church of San Diego and co-author of the fictional Left Behind series of books.
In January 1970, Dr. LaHaye, Dr. Art Peters and Dr. Henry M. Morris, discussed the need for a Christian college on the west coast where studies could be developed within the framework of biblical creationism. The Institute for Creation Research(ICR) was established as a part of Christian Heritage College. In 1981 ICR was reorganized as an independent entity.[1] Its current president is John Morris, son of founder Henry M. Morris.
During 1970-71 freshman and sophomore classes began, with junior and senior classes added during the next two years. The first graduates of SDCC were awarded degrees in June of 1973.[edit] Athletics
