Wesley College (also known as Wesley, WC,) was a private co-educational Bible college located in Florence, Mississippi. Founded in 1944, it closed in July 2010. Wesley was a conservative Bible college in the Wesleyan Arminian tradition. Wesley was founded by the Congregational Methodist Church and served as that denomination's sole institution of higher education. Wesley offered programs of study in three academic divisions leading to Bachelor's degrees, and program certificates. Academic programs available at Wesley included bachelor's programs in Biblical Literature, Christian Education, Missions, Pastoral Ministries, Christian Counseling, and certificate programs in General Education, and Ministerial Studies. In 1905, the Congregational Methodist Church founded its first college, "Atlanta Bible College." In 1912, financial difficulties and internal problems forced the closing of ABC. In 1944 the college was reborn as "Dallas Bible School," with Otho Jennings named the first superintendent. In August of the same year, W.E. Bruce was tabbed to replace Jennings, and would hold the position until 1953.
