History

Founded in 1905 in Berlin as a Bible College for home and foreign missions, the College was expanded and moved to Bergneustadt-Wiedenest, near Cologne, in 1919. The mission centre was founded in 1952. Since the sixties child and youth ministries were added as new branches of the work. On the occasion of the opening of a new training and conference centre in 1999, the latter ministries together with other services were combined to form the department of "Church Ministries".
