The Leung Kwong Baptist Seminary in Guangzhou, having been led by six presidents, was forced to close down in 1950 after eighty years’ operation when missionaries and students left Mainland China due to the political changes. The leaders of the Baptist churches in Hong Kong felt they had the responsibility to assist this group of dedicated theological students to continue their training. In view of the high demand for ministers to serve and to develop the churches in Hong Kong, a committee of nine members led by Dr. Lam Chi-fung, the then President of the Hong Kong Baptist Convention (the Convention), was commissioned in 1951 by the Convention to establish a Baptist seminary in Hong Kong.

In 1893, at the Chicago World’s Fair, William H. Jordan heard D. L. Moody speak about the importance of training Christian workers for the ministry.

There, the spark that D. L. Moody had ignited in Jordan produced a small, nondenominational Bible school known as the Omaha Bible Institute (OBI). Classes began in the summer of 1921 and continued for many years with Dr. Jordan as President of the school.

Through a series of unique unions with several outstanding seminaries, the school’s family tree was formed.
