Crown College is situated on a beautiful 215-acre campus about 30 minutes west of Minneapolis near Waconia, Minnesota. Nestled among the rolling hills of one of the most lake-dotted regions in Minnesota, Crown is just west of popular Lake Minnetonka. For 95 years, Crown College has prepared Christians to serve and influence the world. Beginning in 1916 with four students who wanted to study the Bible, it quickly developed into a training school for those interested in ministry and missionary preparation. A few years later, it became known as St Paul Bible Institute, gaining a solid reputation as a leader in the Bible college movement throughout the Midwest.
