Historia
The college was founded in 1989, the product of the vision of Bishops Dudley Foord and Joe Bell, successive presiding bishops of the Church of England in Southern Africa. David Broughton Knox came to South Africa – from Sydney, Australia – in 1989 to establish George Whitefield College and be its first principal. GWC began its life in a cluster of houses in Kalk Bay close to the long-established Bible Institute of South Africa. In 1997 GWC became affiliated with Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, now known as North-West University. In 1998 the college moved to a new campus in Muizenberg, where it has been able to consolidate and expand. In 2010 GWC achieved full registration with the SA Dept of Education as a private higher education institute with its own accredited degree (Bachelor in Theology) and certificate courses (Certificate in Theology). In 2005 GWC established its Evangelical Research Fellowship with the aim of assisting postgraduate students. http://www.gwc.ac.za/history/
