The BBC Experience
Fall 2014
August
We're wrapping up the second week of Teen Leadership Conference on campus - and what a week!! God continues to work in and through His people and this week at least 5 students have come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and many others have been stretched in their walk and faith.
We're looking forward to continuing this pattern of learning and growing as we embrace the start of a new academic year - and since that time is soon, here are a few more pieces of information to add to your "things to know and do" list...
Welcome Weekend
A Welcome Weekend schedule of events will be available soon.
Convocation Chapel
Monday, August 25th, will be the opening of a new academic year at BBC&S. We are praising the Lord for year #84! Our formal program, Convocation Chapel, serves as an official beginning of the year for students, faculty, and staff. Due to the special nature of this chapel, we do ask that you "dress up" for that day - guys – dress shirts with ties, ladies - modest dresses, skirt or dress pants & blouse combo.
