## History

Eastern Christian College was established in 1946 as Eastern Christian Institute in East Orange, New Jersey.[1] It moved to its final location in Bel Air, Maryland in 1960 and was renamed Eastern Christian College.[2] Its history was marked by significant financial struggles.[3] ECC merged with Lincoln Christian University in 1993 and was renamed Lincoln Christian College East Coast in an attempt to stabilize its fiscal troubles.[2][4] While marginally successful, ECC ceased operations and closed in 2005.[5] Its remaining funds, library holdings, and equipment were absorbed by Mid-Atlantic Christian University.[6] A plurality of the active students also transferred to Mid-Atlantic Christian University.

## Campus

ECC's former Bel Air, Maryland campus was located on the Fair Meadows estate, which is listed on the National Register of Historical Places.[7]

## Academics

Eastern Christian College awarded Bachelor's and Associate's degrees during its operation.[8] Its academic records are now archived at Mid-Atlantic Christian University.[9]
