Florida College is a private Christian college in Temple Terrace, Florida. It offers a variety of bachelor's degrees. Founded in 1946, Florida College now draws its staff, faculty, and the majority of its students from non-institutional churches of Christ. The college is recognized among these churches and the community as a training center for ministers while also providing accredited programs in several high demand fields of study. The college is an autonomous educational entity not beholden to any corporate religious body; it accepts no monetary contributions from any congregation or organized religious bodies and its board members serve as individuals rather than as official representatives of any such entity. The emphasis Florida College places on its Christian roots is expressed in its traditional chapel services held on weekdays during the academic calendar year. All members of the board of directors and all faculty members are active members in a church of Christ as prescribed by the college charter. All students take biblical courses as part of their liberal arts undergraduate curriculum. History The campus is located in the center of Temple Terrace along the banks of the Hillsborough River and is surrounded by the private golf course land of the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club founded circa 1922. One of the oldest buildings in Temple Terrace, Sutton Hall, circa 1922, is on the campus, and was originally the clubhouse for the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club. Another historic structure, the Student Center, which was originally the Club Morocco Nightclub and Casino, circa 1926, was razed in 2018. Noted Tampa architect M. Leo Elliott was the architect for both buildings which were part of the original Temple Terrace Estates, one of the first Mediterranean Revival golf course planned communities in the United States (1921). According to the 1988 Temple Terrace Historic Resources Survey, both buildings were eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. After the Florida economic collapse of 1926, in the late 1930s, the property and its buildings were acquired by the Florida Bible Institute from the City of Temple Terrace before being sold to the founders of today's Florida College. Billy Graham attended Florida Bible Institute, which owned the property now occupied by Florida College, in the late 1930s. In his autobiography he writes he received his calling "on the 18th green of the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club". A Billy Graham Memorial Park is
