World Mission University History
On September 28, 1988, the Oriental Mission Church implemented a special committee to pray about the need for a new seminary for training missionaries, pastors, and lay persons. When the meeting adjourned, the seed that would become World Mission Theological Seminary had been planted. In March 1989, World Mission Theological Seminary started with thirty-two students and Rev. Dong Sun Lim was appointed as the first President.
The World Mission Theological Seminary was authorized to issue the Master of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees in 1991, and the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1992 by the California Department of Education. In 1993, the name was changed from World Mission Theological Seminary to World Mission University to reflect its broader offerings of programs.
In August 2003, the institution moved to a new location in mid-Wilshire, a center of downtown L.A. and in 2004, World Mission University achieved Initial Accreditation status with the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), Candidate status with the TRACS and Associate status with the ATS, are nationally recognized accreditation agency.
