About our Christian identity
History
Faith-focused, future-focused. That’s been the Lipscomb University story since it was founded in 1891 by David Lipscomb and James A. Harding. The pair had a passion for providing opportunities for young men and women to increase their knowledge and prepare for a career while integrating faith and the study of Scripture. Their founding vision continues to be reflected in the essence of the university today
