History
Faith Evangelical College & Seminary was founded in 1969 as Faith Evangelical Lutheran Seminary by Lutherans Alert-National (LAN), an organization committed to biblical inerrancy. In 1968 the LAN was commissioned to investigate possible avenues of proclaiming historic, biblical theology due to the fact that a significant part of the Lutheran church was moving toward liberalism. It eventually seemed expedient to recommend the establishment of a seminary committed to the inerrant Word of God. The Rev. Dr. R. H. Redal was called as the first president and the initial classes were held September 23, 1969 in Tacoma, Washington.

We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
