History
A revival movement in the Rocky Mountain area was organized under the name of “The People’s Mission Church.” This began with a tent meeting in Colorado Springs in 1898. The Colorado work was not based on any coalescence of unions or associations but was built after 1898 by revivals and camp meetings.
A Bible school was started in 1905 by Rev. William Lee of the People’s Mission Church at Colorado Springs, Colorado. This institution opened as the Rocky Mountain Missionary and Evangelistic Training School and was conducted in very small quarters, but in 1910 a sizable building was constructed. By this time the name had been changed to Western Holiness College and Bible Training School, and the institution offered preparatory work and envisioned the possibility of giving college courses.
In 1904 a home for unmarried mothers was opened in Pueblo, Colorado. A large workingmen’s home was operated in the city of Denver, in connection with an every-night missions.
In 1925 “The People’s Mission Church” merged with the Pilgrim Holiness Church in Colorado.
