A Christian college in Maryland that operated from 1946 to 2005, affiliated with the Restoration Movement.
Eastern Christian College was established in 1946 as Eastern Christian Institute in East Orange, New Jersey. It relocated to Bel Air, Maryland in 1960 and was renamed Eastern Christian College. The institution was supported by Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, part of the Restoration Movement. Facing significant financial difficulties, ECC merged with Lincoln Christian University in 1993 and was renamed Lincoln Christian College East Coast. Despite this merger, the college ceased operations in 2005.
Eastern Christian College awarded Bachelor's and Associate's degrees during its operation. Academic records are now archived at Mid-Atlantic Christian University, which absorbed the college's remaining funds, library holdings, and equipment upon closure.
The Bel Air campus was located on the Fair Meadows estate, which is listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
