Our Story
History of the Institution
126-Acre Campground
Scott Township, Pennsylvania
Glorious Vision Bible College was originally established in 2009 by The Apostolic Church Glorious Vision, USA as part of the church's vision to provide sound biblical and theological education for ministers, church leaders, and believers.
During its formative years, theological and ministry training classes were conducted informally by pastors and church leaders at the church campground located on approximately 126 acres of land in Scott Township, Pennsylvania — dedicated to ministry development, spiritual retreats, and leadership training.
In 2017, the church established the Education, Development, and Training (EDT) Department to strengthen spiritual, educational, and leadership development of members and ministers. The department produced annual Bible Study and Sunday School manuals, conducted leadership and ministry training programs, and equipped pastors, elders, deacons, and church workers for effective ministry service.
The continued success of the EDT Department reignited the vision for a fully functioning Bible College. As a result, in March 2026, the leadership of TACGV USA officially initiated the revitalization of Glorious Vision Bible College by appointing a Provost and institutional leadership team. The church also conducted internal graduation and ministerial recognition ceremonies, including programs held in Canada (September 2014) and in the United States (July 2025).
Today, Glorious Vision Bible College stands poised to become a center for biblical scholarship, spiritual formation, leadership development, and ministry preparation — equipping believers and leaders to impact the church, society, and the world for Jesus Christ.
