In 1950 the Westminster College closed and three years later the property was sold. The Congregational Methodist Church acquired the property and relocated their bible school from Dallas, Texas . The school's program was expanded to include a junior college and the institution was named Westminster Junior College and Bible Institute. The campus included twelve buildings and the curriculum expanded to include a four-year degree, the bachelor of religion. In 1968-69 there were fifteen faculty members and ninety-five students, but by 1970 the student body had decreased to sixty. In 1971 thirty-five students and seven teachers moved to Florence, Mississippi and the institution continues operation today as Wesley College. Sources: The Texas Handbook Online Brenner, Morgan G.
