Crossroads Church Partners

Crossroads Church Partners originally incorporated as the International Bible College on the corner of 15th and University Ave in Minneapolis. After many instances of rebranding, changing names, shifting locations, and a change in overall mission, this institution still stands, just in a different form than the one in which it began over a hundred years ago.^[1]

Once the International Christian Bible College Association was established in 1914, with the heavy involvement of pioneer missionaries Julius Stone and D.E. Olson. They quickly and efficiently worked to establish a campus for this college that would help educate its students toward the achievement of its goals, complete with accomodation for those students.^[2] Changes in organization and funding have led to the College rebranding to Crossroads College, then ceasing its services as an educational institution. Instead of a college, the partnership now exists as a benevolent institution for strengthening connections between different churches and enhance their causes.^[1]
