It all started with the prayer of a young woman. In 1913 Miss Emily Dick filled in for her sister, who taught a Sunday school class in one of the mill villages in Columbia, SC. She became concerned for the spiritual and material needs of the workers and their families, so she attended Moody Bible Institute for more training in the Bible. After her return, she realized that a local Bible institute was needed in order to train those who wanted more Bible education. Today, the current campus is located on 400 scenic acres next to the Broad River, just minutes from the hub of South Carolina's capital city, Columbia. The beautiful campus is home to a diverse group of Christians. With more than 15,000 alumni serving in Christian ministry in more than 130 countries, CIU is one of the world's leading ministry training centers. The dream of one praying young woman is alive and well!
