Famous photographers from around the world taught there during summer-only classes. The now defunct Winona College was founded here, [5] and the Winona Lake School of Theology was located here from 1920 to 1970. Winona Lake was also home to the headquarters of The Free Methodist Church until it moved its offices to Indianapolis in 1990.
