The English portion closed in 1863 as descendants of German immigrants were more numerous and interested in continuing their church traditions.[1] Church members founded the new school in Warrenton with the stated purposes of providing homes for orphans of the American Civil War and to supply a "higher educational institute for the youth of the German Church in the West."[1] Founders purchased a {{convert|932|acre|km2|adj=on}} campus for the Western Orphan Asylum and Educational Institute. In 1869, the name was changed to Central Wesleyan College and Orphan Asylum.[1] In 1884, the two organizations split: Central Wesleyan College and Central Wesleyan Orphan Home.[1] In 1909 the German College of Mount Pleasant, Iowa merged with the college, which was renamed the Central Wesleyan College and German Theological Seminary.[1] In 1912 the college was among the original founders of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Association. After public universities took over the Mid-America athletic conference, in 1924 Central was among the founders of the Missouri College Athletic Union.[2] The records of Ozark Wesleyan College of Carthage, Missouri were added to the Truman State University Library and Archives in the 1920s.[1] Junior collegeIt was reclassified as a junior college in 1930, awarding two-year degrees.
