📚 **Congratulations to Dr. Randy Wells!** We are excited to celebrate the publication of *If the Balloon Goes Up*, a new book by Dr. Randy Wells, one of our history instructors at West Coast Baptist College! His book explores the history and effectiveness of military maneuvers from 1902–1944, reflecting his passion for historical research and scholarship. We are grateful for dedicated faculty members like Dr. Wells who bring their knowledge and love for learning into the classroom, investing in the next generation of Christian leaders.

In all that we say or do let Christ be magnified!

Congratulations to WCBC alumnus Tim Bundy on his ordination into the gospel ministry! Last night, during our World Impact Conference, we had the privilege of celebrating this special milestone in Tim’s life and ministry. Tim and his wife, Jennifer are faithfully serving the Lord as missionaries in Ethiopia, sharing the gospel and investing in lives for eternity. At West Coast Baptist College, our mission is to train laborers for His harvest, and it is a joy to see alumni answering God’s call and making an impact around the world. Congratulations, Brother Bundy! We are grateful for your heart for the Lord and are praying for God’s continued blessings on your ministry in Ethiopia! 🌍

Our WCBC family extends far beyond campus! We're thankful for Adam Fridenstine and so many graduates serving around the world.

Business education with a biblical foundation. WCBC is developing a B.S. in Business Administration designed to equip students with practical business knowledge through a biblical worldview. The program will develop skills in leadership, management, finance, and organizational strategy while emphasizing integrity and Christ-centered principles. Students will be prepared to use their business training to lead, serve, and make a meaningful impact in ministry and the workplace. Have questions about this developing degree? Our Academic Office would be happy to help. Give us a call!

We're grateful for graduates like Joel Norris and the ways God continues to use our alumni.

As we prepare for World Impact emphasis beginning this weekend, we enjoyed a special missions chapel today! We’re grateful for the perspectives shared during our panel discussion and for the opportunity to encourage our students to have a heart for reaching the world with the gospel.

College will shape who you become, and the people you share it with matter. Good friends encourage you, challenge you, pray with you, and make the everyday moments of college a whole lot better. We’re thankful for friendships that help our students grow and make WCBC feel like home.

One of the greatest blessings of WCBC is seeing graduates continue to follow God's leading in their lives. We're thankful for the opportunity to invest in students who have a heart for serving the Lord, wherever He leads them!

Thousands of meals are served to our students and faculty every week! The Weaver Commons will help us better meet that need with a new 12,500-square-foot dining facility, updated kitchen equipment, and additional dining space. Your generosity can help make these improvements possible. Learn more at donate.wcbc.edu
