WELCOME TO DREAM CITY COLLEGE!

At Dream City College, we're not just another college; we're a community dedicated to upsetting the "normal" college experience. Here, we believe that true education goes beyond textbooks and lectures – it's about discovering who God is, who you are, and what you're called to do.

Did you know that 40-50% of students drift away from their faith after high school? We're here to change that statistic. Our mission is clear: to train the next generation of leaders to know who God is, who they are, and what they are called to do. 

Dream City College provides a Christ-centered education that empowers you to explore your passions and discover your purpose, whether it's in ministry, business, nursing, graphic design, or something in-between! 

At Dream City College, education isn't just about getting a degree; it's about becoming the person God created you to be.

Explore, grow, and lead with purpose.

Your journey starts here.
