Background
Description
The college was named after the 18th century Christian Evangelist, George Whitefield. A portrait of George Whitefield by Samuel McCausland was commissioned for the opening. The college was formally opened on 3 October 1981 by Bob Jones, chancellor of Bob Jones University, South Carolina, United States, after receiving the key from the president of the college Reverend Ian Paisley. The college was situated at Lawrencetown House. The country house and estate of 30 acres was purchased and renovated at a cost of approximately £170,000. In 2016 Lawrencetown House was sold and lectures moved to the Jubilee Complex of the Martyrs Memorial Free Presbyterian Church.
