The History of Phillips University
College of the Bible
For almost a decade the College of the Bible at Phillips University in Enid molded Christian leaders in its undergraduate program and Graduate Seminary affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Seniors and graduates held student pastorates in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas, and faculty members also regularly filled pulpits.
In 1951, the College of the Bible moved into the Marshall Building, an Enid landmark, which houses the Bivens Chapel with its inspirational stained glass teaching windows.
Phillips Graduate Seminary
The Phillips Graduate Seminary program separated from the University in 1987, becoming Phillips Graduate Seminary. The Phillips undergraduate program was renamed the Religion and Philosophy Department. Phillips Graduate Seminary opened a second campus adjacent to the University of Tulsa campus.
Phillips Theological Seminary
Phillips Graduate Seminary’s name was changed to Phillips Theological Seminary in 1995. In 1997 the seminary consolidated it operations into a single campus in Tulsa.
Phillips Theological Seminary is an accredited institution of higher education, affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), whose purpose is to prepare men and women for varied Christian ministries in church and society. One single aim dominates its educational programs: to help the church make the Christian faith effective in human life and society through a competent, educated ministry.
