Dr. Marva L. Myles was president of South Sacramento Theological Seminary Correspondence School which was an extension of Pneuma Theological Seminary for several years, when Dr. Myles decided to become independent and organize her own Seminary. With the assistance of Dr. John Blouin, Dr. Myles received approval from the State of California under Private Post-secondary and Vocational Education as well as getting the school accredited by (A.C.I.); the Accrediting Commission International for Schools, Colleges and Seminaries.
The school officially opened after receiving its accreditation in August of 2014. Empowerment received their 501(c)(3) in February of 2015.
