Great Lakes Christian College (GLCC) is a private four-year Christian college in Delta Township, Michigan, west of Lansing. It was founded in 1949 and is supported by and affiliated with the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ.

History

The school was founded as Great Lakes Bible College in 1949 at Rock Lake, Michigan, near Vestaburg, with a student body of 12. In 1951, the college purchased a nearby farm, which was converted into the first campus. The college subsequently moved to the Dodge Mansion in Lansing in 1958. In 1972, the college purchased forty-seven acres of land in Delta Township and built the new campus there.

In 1992, the College changed its name to Great Lakes Christian College. In March 2008, GLCC dedicated its new multi-purpose facility, the Doty Center, named in honor of the late Dr. Brant Lee Doty.

Academics

GLCC is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools^[1] since 2003. It was accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education^[2] from 1997 until it withdrew from the organization in 2016 ^[3]

The school's student to faculty ratio is ~13:1, and 80% of the faculty have obtained or are pursuing their professional doctorates.^[4] Students at GLCC study for a bachelor's in theology concurrently with their selected major. The campus is home to the Doty Center (a multi-purpose athletics facility), three dormitory buildings and an administration building, which contains faculty offices, classrooms, and the school library.

Athletics

The Crusaders play men's and women's basketball, men's soccer, and women's volleyball in the Mideast Region of Division II of the National Christian College Athletic Association. ^[5] There is also an intramural flag football league which plays in the spring.
