Journey Through the Years

    1883 - The first classes of the Missionary Training College for Home and Foreign Missionaries are held at 446 Eighth Ave., New York City, thus fulfilling Dr. Simpson’s vision for the need of a missionary training school. The school moves four times that year but finished in a rough, uncarpeted room on the backstage of a theatre on 23rd Street.

    1897 - The Missionary Training Institute moves to South Nyack in 1897. The Institute Building (Simpson Hall) is built for $60,000. It is designed to accommodate 250 residents and included a chapel with seating for several hundred.
