January 9, 2025, signifies a momentous occasion in the life of Texas College – the 131st Anniversary of the College's founding. Founded in 1894 by a group of ministers from the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, now the Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church, to educate a disenfranchised population, Texas College has served as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the East Texas region and beyond, providing educational opportunities for the past 131 years. As the College embraces the 131st year, it does so with determination and commitment to continuing its mission for the next 131 years, ensuring that Texas College remains to serve the generations to come.
To commemorate this historic occasion, please see below for two videos for your review. The first provides a brief vignette of the history and progression of the campus through today. The second is a special prayer for the occasion from Rev. Josef Sorrells, Campus Minister. To review the videos, click below.
May God continue to bless Texas College richly! Happy 131st Anniversary, Texas College!
