The first meeting of the Christian College Librarians (CCL) was held at Oklahoma Christian College on May 10, 1974. Twenty years later, on May 19, 1994,charter members were honored with certificates. Initially no dues were collected and the group was loosely organized. Institutional hosts were responsible for arranging programs at annual meetings; often consulting with Abilene Christian University (ACU) for programming topics related to the Restoration Serials Index since ACU sponsors this project for CCL. The initial organizer of the first meeting was Dr. Bailey McBride.
