Edit Profile
Education
Hughes attended Kentucky Wesleyan College in Millersburg, Kentucky (now located in Owensboro, Kentucky), and served as a pastor in the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Church before pursuing further education at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Career
After serving twelve years as a pastor and one year as an evangelist, Hughes felt that God was leading him to establish a distinctly religious school where students could receive a thorough college education under the direction of a faculty wholly consecrated to God. Hughes stated:
Indiana FAITH HE LIVED, Indiana FAITH HE CONQUERED HIS LAST REQUEST: ‘TELL THE ASBURY PREACHERS TO PREACH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND Bachelor of Engineering TRUE TO THE BIBLE."".
