History
Warner Pacific College was founded in 1937 and is affiliated with the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana). Its 15 acre (0.06-km²) urban campus is located on the southern slope of Mount Tabor (adjacent to the 195-acre (0.79 km2) Mount Tabor Park.)
The college has long sought to expand its campus, most recently (in 2006) pursuing the purchase of a nine acre portion of city property adjoined to the park. In its negotiations, the college was represented by attorney and former Parks commissioner Jim Francesconi.
