On September 18, 1950, the Los Angeles Baptist Association opened the doors of California Baptist College in El Monte to 120 students who came seeking a liberal arts education in a Christian environment. In 1955, after four years of continued growth, the college relocated to larger facilities in Riverside.
Today, the Spanish-style buildings, which include classrooms, campus housing, a library, offices, maintenance and athletic facilities are located on the eighty-two-acre campus. Growth in all areas paved the way for the institution to become a university on September 25, 1998. California Baptist University continues the tradition of liberal arts education in a Christian environment.
The primary purpose of this corporation is to conduct regular four-year college courses in education, music, sciences and the liberal arts, and to grant certificates, diplomas and any and all degrees evidencing completion of any course of training, together with any and all honorary degrees and to provide training for Baptist youth and others desiring to be affiliated with Baptist theology and theological instruction and such other instruction as may be needful and advantageous in preparing and qualifying ministers and other for Christian work.
