Joplin Era In September 1987, Messenger College was created by the merging of two collegiate institutions.

Messenger College was opened in newly constructed facilities on 16 acres (65,000 m2) of wooded property across from the international offices of the church denomination.

In 2018, Messenger College relocated again to Bedford, Texas still in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, united once again with the campus of the Pentecostal Church of God's International Missions Center.

The Christian Ministry major program can be followed through a one-year certification, a two-year associates, or a four-year bachelor's degree.
