Evangel University, the first Pentecostal liberal arts college chartered in America, opened its doors on September 1, 1955. In those early days, there were only a few men who dreamed about a school like Evangel, where Assemblies of God students' faith would be nurtured, and his or her life's calling could be discovered. However, not everyone shared those dreams. It would take more than a desire to make Evangel a reality. The Rev. Ralph M. Riggs, general superintendent of the Assemblies of God at that time, was known as "Mr. Education" in the AG.

After several earlier attempts failed, the resolution to create Evangel finally passed at the 1953 General Council in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.ving students the ability to network and gain internships at a Presidential institution?
