Ebenezer History
A History of Excellence
1903
Rev. and Mrs. David O. Lund established Ebenezer Bible College and Seminary that started as two Chirstian day schools known as Ebenezer School for Girls and Ebenezer School for Boys, the second of which were then established by Rev. John A. McMillan in 1920.
1925
The head of the C&MA South China field, Rev. Robert A. Jaffray, traveled to the Philippines among others, to recommend the establishment of a Bible School that trains national pastors to enlarge the gospel work in the C&MA area of responsibility in the south-western part of Mindanao.
A year after, Rev. Joseph D. Williams was tasked to lead and organize the training of 13 Filipino pastors and deaconesses, which was followed through by Rev. McMillan.
Then in 1926, the two Ebenezer schools merged to become Ebenezer Bible Institute with Rev. George D. Strohm as the first principal.
1952
During this year, the first ever Filipino Principal, Rev. Vicente R. Pada, received the leadership and management of the school and served for 2 decades.
The Mission Conference, National Church Conference, and the Survey Team of Philippine theological schools recommended that the name of the school should be changed. In 1962, the Ebenezer School Board changed the name of the school to Ebenezer Bible College.
