History
CCU began in 1914 as the Denver Bible Institute, with two students taught by one teacher in several rented buildings. Denver Bible grew to become Denver Bible College, Rockmont College in 1949, and then merged with Western Bible College in 1985 to become Colorado Christian College. The College merged with Colorado Baptist University in 1989 and was renamed Colorado Christian University.
