Our Story

Faith Evangelical College & Seminary was founded in 1969 as Faith Evangelical Lutheran Seminary by Lutherans Alert-National (LAN), an organization committed to biblical inerrancy. In 1968 the LAN was commissioned to investigate possible avenues of proclaiming historic, biblical theology due to the fact that a significant part of the church was moving toward liberalism. It eventually seemed expedient to recommend the establishment of a seminary committed to the inerrant Word of God. The Rev. Dr. R. H. Redal was called as the first president and the initial classes were held September 23, 1969 in Tacoma, Washington. In 2006, the Rev. Dr. Michael J. Adams was appointed as the second president. In 2010 the name of the institution was changed to Faith Evangelical College & Seminary to reflect properly the current programs offered.
