I would disagree that this article is of little importance. It is a well known College among Christians, especially Baptists. The contents of the article however are lacking, I will do some research and expand this article, in order to make it more useful for people. Mgroop 16:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm a Baptist and I never heard of it until this article was started. But I don't object to erring on the side of inclusion this time. A.J.A. 19:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have added information to Crown College, and will continue to do so as I have the time, as well as find new information. Also, I submit that Crown College is as notable as West Coast Baptist College, Kansas City College, Heartland Baptist Bible College, Great Lakes Bible College, Golden State Baptist College, and Atlantic Baptist Bible College, and as such I am removing the notability tag.

Accreditation

While Crown College is not fully accredited, it is a pre-accredited. Candidacy, or pre-accreditation, is not the same as unaccredited (neither does it entail full accreditation). This is clearly stated in the section. See the following link concerning pre-accreditation. When institutions are unaccredited, they cannot receive federal funds or transfer credits. "Preaccreditation status or candidacy provides time and support to a new and changing college or university as it develops into an accreditable organization. For most institutions, candidacy enables students to qualify for federal financial aid programs, and it often aids in the transferability of the candidate institution’s credits to another college or university."

At any rate, I have updated the section to reflect this. It is — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betakappa19 (talkcontribs) 05:57, 24 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

This college is very significant to the nearly 2,000 people who have graduated from there. I grew up in the southeast and almost all Baptists in the area know of the school. The article is accurate so far, but more could be added about the student body and what impact the graduates have had. There are currently graduates of Crown pastoring churches in every state, and on every inhabited continent. I will try to add a picture of the main campus soon.

NPOV dispute edit

The article is written from the point of view of those who espouse similar Christian beliefs and points of view. For example, "The faculty and students of Crown College agree to uphold the Crown Code, Crown's philosophy of education, and their statement of faith, all of which are based on the Bible." -The idea of something being "based on the bible" is very subjective.

I also question the line "Since opening in 1991, thousands of men and women have received their diplomas and are now serving the Lord around the world" which again, is written from the point of view of a certain branch of Christianity, as "serving the Lord" is not a universally accepted idea.

The student life section appears to come from an advertisement of the college. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.214.128.23 (talk) 03:54, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
