His Spiritual life began in 1921 when he received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Twelve years later he received the revelation of Jesus Name Baptism and the Oneness of the Godhead. Ever since he has been a staunch promoter of the gospel and recognized Bible Teacher. He served as a District Presbyter of the Pen- tecostal Church, Incorporated for several years. Bro. Frank Van Buskirk founded the local Church by first renting a hall on Mission Street. Later a lot was purchased and a church built one block from where the present home church of W.A.B.C. now stands on 1700 E. Harding Way. Bro. Van Buskirk was among the first pioneer teachers of Western Apostolic Bible College and has been teach- ing every year since it began. We hope that our book will be found worthy of the man, his learning, and his teaching.

1- ,.l HISTORY On Ocnober 5, 1953, Western Apostolic Bible Col- lege opened its doors for the entrance of its first stu- dents who were desirous of becoming BUILDERS in the, Kingdom of God. This school was dedicated to the CAUSE OF CHRIST on June 21, 1953, and was officially accepted and endorsed by the United Pentecostal Church at the General Conference in Columbus, Ohio, in 1954. When the grounds were purchased, there was only one quaint, old, two-story building located at the rear of the property. This house was remodeled for usage as a girls' dormitory and dining room. At the front of the three and one-half acres, a new building was erected for use as classrooms, chapel, office, and boys' dormitory. When growth in the school created a need for more buildings, in 1955 another building was added. The boys' dormitory and teachers' residence were begun in 1956 and 'completed in 1957. Growth has rapidly taken place, and no doubt. CONSTRUCTION will take place again and again as more young people come to Western Apostolic Bible College to learn how to better build for Christ.
