Our History

Dr Brain J Bailey ~ an internationally renowned teacher and author who traveled to many nations to teach the Bible as well as establishing Zion Christian University to train teachers of righteousness to minister to the nations.
A humble beginning
Dr Bailey established Zion University in 1997 because of the need to train Christian leaders who could in turn teach the truths of the gospel in every nation. The school was renamed Zion Christian University when the offices were moved to Clearwater, Florida in 2004.
Bible Schools in Every nation
On a ministry trip to Africa the Lord spoke to Dr Bailey that He wanted Zion Fellowship, the parent organization of ZCU, to establish a Bible school in every nation. In order to do that the senior faculty and staff members developed textbooks and curriculum that focuses on developing a spiritual vision and learning the clear doctrine of God's Word. This curriculum has been translated in to many languages to be used around the world.
Students and Schools
Around 3000 students either study online with Zion Christian University or with one of our 75 affiliate schools in over 40 nations.
