Under Dr. Charles M. Leaming, Florida Beacon College and Seminary started teaching Bible Truths in 1947 to students who aspired to be Pastors, Missionaries and Bible Teachers. The school, then known as St. Petersburg Bible Institute at that time, was situated in St. Petersburg. The school moved from St. Petersburg, Florida to Largo in order to accommodate the growing student population. In the meantime, Florida Beacon College & Seminary was named. Today, the school is located in Jacksonville, Florida. It still holds the Conservative Full Gospel belief in an environment that's non-denominational and the Bible serves as its foundation. Florida Beacon College & Seminary is still led by Dr. Charles M. Leaming, who was appointed in 1980 to lead the school. Florida Beacon College & Seminary has transcripts of Academic Records of Florida Beacon College and St. Petersburg Bible Institute.
