Legacy
In 1971, the entire property was sold to evangelist Rex Humbard, who briefly resumed the use of the facility as a college and religious retreat (with no connection or identity with the original Mackinac College). The Mackinac property ceased to be used as a college in 1973; the college office was then moved to Lansing, Michigan where it remained until 1998. After 1973, the Humbard organization began to use the property as a vacation resort. In 1977, the property was sold to a Dallas-based management and investment firm, which changed the name to Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center.
The property was sold in late 1987 and renamed Mission Point Resort. The new name reflects back into history when this part of the island housed one of the first churches and the Mission House, a historical landmark which still stands on the property.
