The first classes of Holmes were held in the summer of 1893 in a cottage on Paris Mountain in South Carolina. N.J. and Lucy Holmes led the classes and the first semester was held in the newly purchased Altamont Hotel on Paris Mountain. The college was then called the Altamont Missionary and Bible Institute. After several moves and name changes, the college is now known as Holmes Bible College and is located at the foot of Paris Mountain, Greenville, South Carolina, at 4901 Old Buncombe Road. The original site can be seen from the parking lot.<\/p>\n

\"\"Thursday, October 4, 2018 was a very special day in the journey of Holmes Bible College.\u00a0\u00a0Several activities and events were planned as part of the Vision4Education weekend.\u00a0\u00a0Trustees held their fall meeting and nearly all were present to plan the 122nd term in 2019.\u00a0\u00a0At 4 p.m., the main road into the campus was named and dedicated as \u201cLeggett Way\u201d in honor of Bishop James and Faye Leggett.\u00a0\u00a0Following at 4:45 p.m., the newly acquired college van was dedicated in honor of Mr. Daneel le Roux, an alumnus from Greenville, North Carolina. In the evening, the Women\u2019s Ministries of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church led in their annual Vision4Education meeting.\u00a0\u00a0It was an exciting and Spirit-anointed day.<\/p>\n

The leaders of Holmes were blessed to dedicate and name the main road of the campus as \u201cLeggett Way\u201d in honor of Bishop James and Faye Leggett. The road will ultimately bi-sect the 39-acre campus and give the college two means of access.\u00a0The Leggett\u2019s led the college for nearly nine years.\u00a0\u00a0During their tenure, five new buildings were constructed, and a president\u2019s home was purchased and remodeled.\u00a0In addition, nearly $7 million was raised for the college, leaving the primary campus debt-free, and enrollment doubled.<\/p>\n

Faye Leggett was present for the dedication with all four of the Leggett children \u2013 Jimmy, Joey, Cindy and John, along with other family members. Bishop Leggett was promoted to heaven in February 2018; however, his presence was felt in all the activities of the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"The ladies of the Women\u2019s Ministries out did themselves. In the midst of great adversities caused by the recent Hurricane Florence, they brought over $35,000 in financial gifts for the college. The leadership team and I are very appreciative of these gifts which are a tremendous blessing to this faith-oriented college.<\/p>\n

During the Vision4Education program, the students presented a drama entitled \u201cWell Glory\u201d written by Rev. David Wheeler. This production depicted the lives of James and Faye Leggett with special emphasis to Holmes Bible College.\u00a0\u00a0The couple met at Holmes, worked there for a season, had their first son there, and then returned after years of fruitful ministry. All who saw the drama wept, cried, and rejoiced. It was a testimony to the faithfulness of our God and to the faithful lives of two of His choice servants.<\/p>\n

Holmes Bible College continues to grow and move forward in the mission to educate men and women to satisfy the Great Commission. \u201cThe Best is Yet to Come!\u201d<\/p>\n

NJ y Lucy Holmes dirigieron las clases y el primer semestre se llev\u00f3 a cabo en el reci\u00e9n adquirido Hotel Altamont en Paris Mountain, Greenville, Carolina del Sur. El colegio fue llamado entonces el Instituto Misionero y B\u00edblico Altamont. Despu\u00e9s de varios movimientos y cambios de nombre, la universidad ahora se conoce como Holmes Bible College y se encuentra al pie de Paris Mountain, Greenville, Carolina del Sur, en 4901 Old Buncombe Road. El sitio original se puede ver desde el estacionamiento. El jueves 4 de octubre de 2018 fue un d\u00eda muy especial en el viaje de Holmes Bible College. Se planificaron varias actividades y eventos como parte del fin de semana de Vision4Education. Los fideicomisarios celebraron su reuni\u00f3n de oto\u00f1o y casi todos estuvieron presentes para planificar el t\u00e9rmino 122 en 2019. A las 4 pm, la carretera principal hacia el campus fue nombrada y dedicada como \"Leggett Way\" en honor a Bishop James y Faye Leggett. Siguiendo a las 4:45 pm, la furgoneta de la universidad reci\u00e9n adquirida fue dedicada en honor al Sr. Daneel le Roux, un ex alumno de Greenville, Carolina del Norte. Por la noche, los Ministerios de Mujeres de la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad Pentecostal lideraron su reuni\u00f3n anual de Vision4Education. Fue un d\u00eda emocionante y ungido por el Esp\u00edritu. Los l\u00edderes de Holmes tuvieron la bendici\u00f3n de dedicar y nombrar la carretera principal del campus como \"Leggett Way\" en honor al obispo James y Faye Leggett. El camino finalmente har\u00e1 que el campus de 39 acres sea bi-secta y le dar\u00e1 a la universidad dos medios de acceso. Los Leggett lideraron la universidad durante casi nueve a\u00f1os. Durante su mandato, se construyeron cinco edificios nuevos y se compr\u00f3 y remodel\u00f3 la casa de un presidente. Adem\u00e1s, se recaudaron casi $ 7 millones para la universidad, dejando el campus primario libre de deudas y la inscripci\u00f3n se duplic\u00f3. Faye Leggett estuvo presente en la dedicaci\u00f3n con los cuatro hijos de Leggett: Jimmy, Joey, Cindy y John, junto con otros miembros de la familia. El obispo Leggett fue ascendido al cielo en febrero de 2018; Sin embargo, su presencia se sinti\u00f3 en todas las actividades del d\u00eda. Las damas de los Ministerios de la Mujer se hicieron a s\u00ed mismas. En medio de las grandes adversidades causadas por el reciente hurac\u00e1n Florence, trajeron m\u00e1s de $ 35,000 en regalos financieros para la universidad. El equipo de liderazgo y yo apreciamos mucho estos dones que son una tremenda bendici\u00f3n para esta universidad orientada a la fe. Gracias, Brenda Grasty por moderar la reuni\u00f3n. Durante el programa Vision4Education, los estudiantes presentaron un drama titulado \"Well Glory\" escrito por el Reverendo David Wheeler. Esta producci\u00f3n describi\u00f3 las vidas de James y Faye Leggett con especial \u00e9nfasis en el Colegio B\u00edblico Holmes. La pareja se reuni\u00f3 en Holmes, trabaj\u00f3 all\u00ed durante una temporada, tuvo a su primer hijo all\u00ed y luego regres\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de un ministerio fruct\u00edfero. Todos los que vieron el drama lloraron, lloraron y se regocijaron. Fue un testimonio de la fidelidad de nuestro Dios y de las vidas fieles de dos de sus servidores elegidos. Holmes Bible College contin\u00faa creciendo y avanzando en la misi\u00f3n de educar a hombres y mujeres para satisfacer la Gran Comisi\u00f3n. \"\u00a1Lo mejor est\u00e1 por venir!\" Escrito por: Presidente Chris Thompson","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/10\/Featured-Image.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Bx-LQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
