Graduate Perspective

“I would strongly recommend that those pursuing a Bible degree from PCC learn as much of the Bible as they can while at PCC. While extra activities are important in college, learning and studying the Bible with a fervency and desire in one’s heart will always have a lasting effect upon one’s Biblical world view.”
—Mark Ward (’93 grad) Pastor,
First Baptist Church (IN)
