[2](dead link) Cal Grad was established in 1969 by Dr. William Steuart McBirnie and continues to function to this day.
Thomas detached and established a school functioning under the name California Center for Theological Studies (CCTS).
CCTS operated out of First Baptist Church of Maywood CA for 12 years until the retirement of Dr. Thomas from that organization.
This includes belief in the divine, inerrant inspiration of the Bible, The Triune nature of God (Trinity), the deity of Jesus Christ, and the doctrine of salvation by grace.
BPPE approval is not accreditation, only an oversight agency in California for private and for profit schools.
