Christianity -- History

In 1953, the Eastside Church of Christ began in conjunction with Columbia Christian School in Portland, Oregon. The collection includes financial records and other documents related to church business from 1960 to 2006.

The collection consists of Dr. Frank Pack's daily planners, grade books, correspondence, notes, and sermons from 1933 to 1990. The lifelong preacher spent the majority of his career at David Lipscomb College, Pepperdine College, and Abilene Christian College. He also preached or was a guest speaker at numerous churches and universities across the country.

The collection contains subject files kept by the Office of the Provost, during Darryl Tippens residency as Provost. Though Tippens was only Provost from 2001 to 2014, records date from 1975-2015. The types of material include correspondence, reports, manuals, administrative documents, plans for events and large projects, and general documents about or related to activity at Pepperdine University.

The collection was created by Pepperdine University librarians and consists of publications associated with the Restoration Movement. The Restoration Movement is the umbrella term for the Churches of Christ, the Christian churches and churches of Christ, as well as the Disciples of Christ. The publications are international in scope and document the work of missions, churches, and children's homes.
