In 1969, California Graduate School of Theology (Cal Grad) (Haven University} opened its academic door to provide the highest level quality of theological education possible. It marked a new era for Christian Education as Cal Grad focused on being an interdenominational graduate school with affordable tuition rates, top level scholars at the lecture podium, and a schedule that was designed to meet the demands of the working pastor or student interested in advancing in their Christian education. Today these ideas are common-place but it was Cal Grad that first blazed the trail for such a program of study. [Background image is the Student Body of 1969]

James Kennedy, Charles Stanley, John MacArthur, Jerry Falwell, David Hocking, I.D.E. Thomas, Dr. Allan Streett, Dr. Mark Rutland, Dr. Don Wilson and Jack Hayford.
