ur students have chosen Mission Possible as a theme for this year, and it is also one that we can adopt as a college and graduate school. In this issue you can see how the Lord has blessed our mission. Over the past six years, Corban has received more than $11 million from individuals with a vested interest in the College. We’ve included an honor roll of faithful alumni, parents, friends and college employees who generously supported us this last year. We are most grateful—every gift, no matter the size, enables a new generation to experience an education distinctively rooted in Jesus Christ. We plan to have a special Homecoming event during the first weekend in October to show our appreciation of all those connected with the college past and present. Recently, I participated in a memorial service for Mildred Prewitt and shared the importance of all those who have had a major influence in the success of the college. I referred to the Prewitts as founders of the college—and what a heritage they left. Today there are almost 7,000 alumni making a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. When we dedicate our lives to something bigger than ourselves we will leave a lasting legacy. This is true all of those who invest their lives into our college. Today we build on the foundation they laid, while adhering to the founding faith principles they established. In order to expand the effects of our mission and success of the college, we have developed a strategic plan “Corban 2010/2020.” It incorporates three five-year phases to be completed by 2020, to direct us in reaching an even higher level of academic excellence. To do this we must provide additional classrooms, residence halls, dining facilities, a student activity center, athletic facilities, parking, offices, faculty, staff, technology and a new library center. All these pieces are needed to reach our goals. Whenever individuals or organizations face new challenges there is an element of fear of the unknown. As we review the past, we can clearly see that the Lord has guided us as individuals and as a college. Based on this, we can expect that the Lord will continue to guide us if we continue to follow Him wholeheartedly. Fortunately, we rely on the God who not only knows the future but is the future, Jesus Christ. This comfort gives us the commitment and attitude that “Mission Possible” is a viable goal. We have a statement in our catalog entitled “Our Commitment to Growth.” Some of the key phases are: “We believe Christ has called all of us to a life of growth.” “We must be prepared to take risk that growth demands.” “We must not be afraid to reach beyond where we are.” “Such a commitment, in some circumstances, may demand the risk even of life.” “We are committed to neither ease nor safety. Reaching may be difficult—perhaps even dangerous, but the risk is unavoidable if we are to grow.” Recently, I read the book by John C. Maxwell, Qualities of a Leader which asks the question “What am I willing to die for? If it came down to it, what in life would I not be able to stop doing, regardless of the consequences?” We at Corban have determined that the commitment worth dying for is the battle for the minds of our students—a war waged between the anti-God agenda of the world and the mind of God. Properly prepared, these students will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. We know that many of you are engaged with us in this endeavor. We encourage all of you to join us—you will never regret this commitment. As stated in 2 Peter 1:10-11 “Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” The promise is that those who live committed lives will never fall. Isn’t that something worth committing to? I am sure it will make our “mission possible.” Dedicating Heart and Mind to God,

Mission Possible

Westrek offers backpacking experiences for students A seven-year tradition continued in May as Westrek took to trails along the Columbia Gorge. The group of ten students and their advisor, Professor John Scott, spent a week of camping and backpacking on both sides of the Gorge where they saw remarkable sights—waterfalls, wildflowers, and Dog Mountain panoramic views. Their 43-mile trip began on the Oregon side with trails past Punch Bowl, Loowit, and Tunnel Falls—all the more spectacular with May water runoff. Crossing to the Washington side, they were awed by Falls Creek Falls and tired by Dog Mountain heights that rewarded them with flowers at their feet and a magnificent view of the River beyond. Westrek is a student-led club that offers outdoor activities for students year-round. The end-ofthe-year trip has become a tradition, leaving shortly after graduation. Scott described the Gorge trekkers as “a mature group of non-complaining, God-praising Christians who worked well as a team. We had a fantastic time.”

2007 business grad receives college and state honors

hen Andrew Bertz graduated with a business major in May, he not only had two tax seasons of work experience under his belt, but two prestigious awards to show for his Corban experience. One was bestowed by faculty and peers, the other recognized by accounting professionals across the state. The Joshua-Barnabas Award is given to the top business grad each year as a result of nomination by peers and then selection by the business faculty. Bertz was awarded the honor at graduation on May 5. Dean of Business, Dr. Bryce Bernard recalled that the award was created in 1993 by Dr. Rich Nolan, a great friend of the college. The Joshua-Barnabas Award continues to go to students with the leadership qualities of a Joshua and the encouraging qualities of a Barnabas. Bernard said that makes “the perfect business person, able to lead as well as play second fiddle.” On May 16, the Oregon Society of

He gained back-to-back honors from the Salem-Area Small Colleges when Dave Bale named the Chuck Bowles Coach of the Year for the second year in a row. A third came from his coaching peers in the Cascade Collegiate Conference when they voted him Coach of the Year out of ten schools. Bale received the most recent honor, his second Chuck Bowles award, at the Salem Sports and Breakfast Club. 2006-07 was Bale’s last year as coach, and is succeeded by Terry Williams.

U.S.News & World Report moves Corban higher in rankings Annual rankings were released by U.S.News & World Report showing that Corban moved up three places from 8th to 5th in the WEST Region. The newly named Best Baccalaureate Colleges section for Corban shows how the top tier institutions ranked. In the Best Value listings Corban is 5th Best Value in the West (4th last year). Although the category was renamed from Comprehensive Colleges to Best Baccalaureate Colleges, the criteria is the same: “Primarily Undergraduate, less than 50% of degrees in the liberal arts.” Many colleges were moved as a result of changes in the Carnegie Classifications this past year. “The improvement in the ranking is encouraging, but we recognize that this is only one measurement of how well a college performs its job of educating students,” says President Reno Hoff. “For example, students should also consider whether a particular college or university is the best fit for them; the reputation of individual academic programs and professors; the campus environment; facilities; and services provided to students.” #1 in the West for the Baccalaureate category is the U.S. Air Force Academy. This is the first year military academies have been ranked and all took the top place in their respective categories. Another milestone has been reached at Corban for which we are thankful.

Dr. Barbara Smith, Associate Professor of Education In her office, Dr. Barbara Smith reveals her passion for learning and math by showing off her collection of calculators dating back to the 1970s.

t’s come to be known as “the gorilla experiment.” Researchers told their subjects to watch a video of a basketball game and to count the number of shots made by the team wearing white jerseys. Partway through the game, a woman in a gorilla suit walked into the middle of the court. About half of the observers missed the gorilla because they were so busy concentrating on their tasks. Mental experiments like these are fascinating to Dr. Barbara Smith, one of Corban’s newest professors. A secondyear instructor in the college’s education department, she finds herself sharing such stories with students in her Theory of Learning class. After all, understanding the mind’s inner-workings can help these future teachers unlock learning for their students. “I’ve always been really interested in problem-solving and creativity,” Smith says.

“Unfortunately, kids’ creativity is often—not purposely—stamped out in elementary school.” After 30 years of teaching, Smith has turned her attention to educating educators and to understanding how kids learn. Sitting on the shelf in her office is a bound copy of her dissertation, which addresses teaching eighthgrade math students to be problem-solvers. And it is still her passion. Between classes, conferences and meetings, Smith hopes to return to a math project near and dear to her heart. She’s developing a color-coded flow chart to help students who struggle with attention-deficit and hyperactivity to work logically through math equations. For now, that project is on the back burner as this Louisiana native gets settled into a new semester at Corban. Smith grew up in Louisiana, where she earned a bachelor’s degree at Louisiana

State University, a master’s at Louisiana Tech University and a doctorate at Northwestern State University. With minors in English and computer science, she has taught everything from middle school English to college math. At her most recent job, she taught advanced math, wrote grants and did technical support. Now, in her office at Corban, her love for math and technology is revealed by, among other things, her collection of calculators. Displayed on ornamental plate holders and easels are “dinosaurs” from the 1970s all the way up to present-day models. While Smith’s been collecting calculators, she’s been collecting teaching methods to share with the next generation of educators. To stay fresh, she constantly reads and researches. Her list of recent “recreational reads” includes such mind-stretching books as “Mind Hacks: Tools & Tips for Using Your Brain.” In the undergrad and graduate classes she teaches, she draws daily from this growing blend of research and experience to give helpful instruction. “I felt like, perhaps, after so many years of teaching, I should take the experiences I’ve gathered and use them as a teaching model,” Smith says.

or students pursuing the Master of Science in Education (M.Ed.) degree at Corban, the research process is a vital part of the program. “We believe in designing programs to meet individual needs,” said Corban Provost Linda Samek. “This process allows our graduate students the opportunity to be thoughtful about what they want to explore and go deeper in their specific area of study.” Six hours of coursework in research give students that opportunity. They first study educational research, and research methodology, and then they design and conduct their own investigation in an area of their choosing. Through these phases, Dean of Education Matt Lucas stresses that students work closely with a number of faculty. “The research process can be intimidating and bewildering at times,” he said. “It is nice to have someone

who has gone through it to serve as a guide.” “I feel completely supported by my instructors,” said current graduate student, Carmen Moore. Even after teaching 19 years, Moore adds, “I know it’s going to help me be a better professional.” “The opportunity to reflect deeply on a specific topic and apply it to the classroom setting has incredible benefits,” Lucas continued. For 2006 graduate Jula Galvin, the benefits of her research opened up a broader world outside her classroom. “It gave me more tools and ways to make a difference for the kids.” A year after her research project, she saw a positive difference in the students’ reading habits she had hoped to boost with her research project. Dan Ceiplis, a 2007 graduate, says that his research helped him plan more effective reading instruction for his second graders.

He plans to share the results with other teachers at Salem Academy—another benefit of the process. Dr. Lucas notes that “our students not only come out with something relevant and meaningful to them, they also can give back to their own faculty or other educators.” Lucas emphasizes that a graduate who has completed his or her research is the expert, even more than any faculty member, on their area of study. In that way, students relate to faculty members as colleagues, and vice versa. “In this program, it’s more than a cliché that teachers learn from their students. I’ve seen it happen every time I work with a student doing research,” Lucas says. Dr. Barbara Smith, associate professor of education, found the research experience of her own master’s degree work gave her “a huge head start on my doctoral dissertation.” Dr. Samek agrees that the research process prepares students to continue to the next level of graduate study. Or, it may confirm a teacher is where she needs to be. For Galvin, the research came at a time of a professional crossroads. The “fresh approach” she gained helped her decide to stay in teaching. Dr. Roy Bunch, associate professor of education, sums up a final benefit. “Our research process is all done through the lens of a biblical worldview. How is what you are doing, researching, and conducting an investigation—informed by a biblical worldview? At Corban, we complement our mission by offering an explicitly biblical worldview.” The hard work of research does pay off. It’s a value students see as they complete their M.Ed. degree at Corban.

Corban will begin offering online Master of Business Administration classes in January 2008. This announcement comes after the college’s accrediting organization, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, approved the program in July. “We’ve dreamed about this for 10 years,” said Dr. Bryce Bernard, dean of the business program. “We’ve had alumni ask when we were going to start an MBA program.” Designed for working adults, the MBA program consists of 36 credit hours of coursework that can be taken online. Students can choose from a non-profit management track and a management elective track. A student can earn a master’s Dean of Business Dr. Bryce Bernard meets with students in his office.

A Master of Science in Education program was unveiled in 2004. The M.Ed. program now serves 60 students, most of them full-time teachers. The MBA was a natural next choice, as the college’s successful business program has awarded bachelor’s degrees to 856 students since its introduction in 1972. It is the college’s second-largest major, with 164 current students. The MBA program’s faculty will include Dr. Bryce Bernard, Dr. Bruce Merritt, Dr. Rich Meyers, Jim Sprow, Don Leavitt, Justin Sherwood, and Eric Straw. Two new professors are expected to join the faculty in 2008.

Family Studies program helps alumna to live her dream

Three-time cancer survivor alumna Sandi Keller uses her psychology background learned at Corban every day as a nurse, relating her real-life experiences to patients.

or three-time cancer survivor Sandi Keller, just being alive is more than she expected in the midst of her worst battle with leukemia. Now as a travel nurse working with bone marrow transplant patients, she has come full circle. First a nurse, then a patient, then again a nurse, Keller can give hope to patients, their families, and other staff members because she has truly been there. Keller’s dream for 25 years was to be a travel nurse. Those years were punctuated by leukemia, a bone marrow transplant, a relapse, thyroid cancer, and then basal skin cancer. Yet she was able to return to nursing in 2001 and pursue her dream. In January 2007, it came to being. Her first travel assignment began in Phoenix, Arizona as an intensive care nurse. It didn’t take an orientation instructor long to realize Keller had experience elsewhere, so she was soon sent to the bone marrow transplant unit. “Only You, Lord, could’ve made this come together,” Keller acknowledges. 10

“Have scrapbook—will travel” could be Keller’s byline. Her scrapbook faithfully chronicles her journey through leukemia, thanks to her dad, Russ Keller. A professional photographer, he was forever taking pictures. “Honey, someday we’re gonna look back and be able to see what God has done,” he told her. Pictures were the last thing she wanted when she felt unrecognizable and looking “like a deranged chipmunk” from the effects of treatment. Her life after the bone marrow transplant—the only treatment that could save her—did not go as she planned. Six months of recovery had stretched into eight years of trying to survive. But survive she did. Woven into Keller’s life was the Family Studies Program at Corban, beginning just ten years ago when doctors told her she could not return to nursing. Keller wondered what God wanted to do with her. A friend, Christie McLean, told Keller about the program she had just finished. “The minute she started speaking about it, I knew that was the program for me,” Keller said. Once enrolled,

she saw the Lord at work. Instructor Dan McAuley was a longtime church friend of the family and had prayed her through the entire leukemia scare. She graduated from the program in 1999. And her dad was right about the scrapbook. He knew it was one thing to talk about the experience. It’s another thing to show pictures. In her return to nursing, Keller has kept the scrapbook of pictures with her to share with patients going through exactly what she did. “I always gave God the glory,” Keller described her interactions with patients. “I’m just amazed how they would react.” Other nursing staff now refer her to patients who can benefit from the unique perspective—and hope—she offers. In addition to the scrapbook, Keller said she uses what she learned in Family Studies all the time. “I got more from Family Studies than my nursing background!” she says without hesitation. “I use it with patients as well as discussing it with other nurses. The psychological components we studied come into play a lot in critical care with drug abusers and alcoholics. I ask myself—because of my Family Studies training—what happened in their lives that put them there?” In her current assignment in Tucson, Keller works in intensive care. She is confident that God will give her other opportunities to share her scrapbook—her life—with other bone marrow transplant patients no matter where she is. Dean of the Adult Degree Program Nancy Martyn describes Keller this way: “I think she represents an alumna who fully incorporates the mission of the College within her career—‘to make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.’ She is a good example of the kind of graduate we are proud to own.”

RESURRECTION SCULPTURE The new Resurrection sculpture symbolizes the Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthly burial and resurrection using six boulders rising from the earth to a perfect sphere, the resurrected body. Gracing the front of the Psalm Performing Arts Center, it is the first major exterior art project on campus. The concept was derived from

1 Corinthians 15 and symbolizes the Christian hope of resurrection and eternal life. After two years of planning and construction, it is now completeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;its beauty and symbolism a daily reminder to be eternity conscious. The sculpture was designed by Corban alumnus Steve Hunt â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;69. A formal dedication ceremony will take place on Homecoming Weekend, Friday, October 5.

SCHIMMEL HALL The anchor of the campus is the newly remodeled administration building. This 110-year-old historic center houses the heart of the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate life. The oldest building on campus, it is named for longtime professor John Schimmel. Inside Schimmel Hall is a smorgasbord of administrative and student operations, ranging

from the Office of the President to the Student Life Office and the constant activity of Corbanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student clubs. At least three times a day, Schimmel Hall becomes the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular attraction as campus residents head for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Corban Dining Hall.

ACADEMIC CENTER The Academic Center is home to Corbanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library, specialized classrooms and faculty offices. It provides the College community with resources to educate students of all ages, in all programs. Along with harboring books and periodicals, the Library is a bridge to information and cutting-edge research worldwide. Yet its value goes

beyond warehousing books and accessing academic resources. Every evening Corbanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library is alive with resident and commuter students. Individuals steal away for personal study time while elsewhere students cluster in study groups to discuss semester projects.

ARCHITECT’S RENDERING

CLOCK TOWER Rapidly evolving into Corban’s newest campus feature, the clock tower is growing each week, eventually rising 54 feet above the campus. When complete it will be surrounded by Legacy Plaza, a congregating place that reflects the College’s distinction about relationship—student to student and faculty to student.

Academically Spiritually Minded T

he 100 acres of campus are home to a very special academic experience. Forested surroundings demonstrate God’s creativity through the living wonders of nature. A collage of buildings, paths and campus activity is evidence of how God has provided a collegiate environment to nurture individual change, personal growth and future opportunity. It’s a place of forming and sharing ideas… expanding comprehension… critically thinking about our surroundings… talking about faith and values… cultivating an ethic of service… learning about and respecting other cultures… seeking just and peaceful solutions to the world’s challenges… connecting one’s gifts and passions to a career… and supporting one another in God’s calling. Corban is committed to educating students both academically and spiritually without compromising either area. The results are visible and multifaceted: graduates uniquely prepared for life and their chosen career; Christians with well-developed spiritual foundations and commitments to pursue ever closer walks with God. Corban is a college with a driving commitment to studies in professional studies, liberal arts and sciences. Our curriculums underscore the centrality of how one learns, provide a historical

context based on God’s Word, relate ideas to social structures and affirm the importance of Christian values in human life. Our liberal arts curriculum is coherent and useful in preparing students to seek knowledge and improve skills throughout their lives. The tremendous accomplishments that are pictured on these pages are the bedrock from which new opportunities are dreamed. We are committed to a biblical worldview in every class and area of study. It takes planning and research. It takes dedicated staff and committed volunteers. And it takes resources in the form of tuition, donated funds and legacy gifts. Unrestricted financial gifts to the College bridge the gap between tuition and the actual costs of a Corban education. Such investments are applied to the greatest needs of the College every year, whether its providing financial assistance to students or purchasing needed books, research materials, computer equipment and software. Looking back over the last few years, the Lord has clearly been our guide and provider. With God’s blessing upon the work of our faculty and staff, and evident through your financial support, miracles have been accomplished at Corban College and Graduate School.

The Corban/AmbEx partnership offers students unique crosscultural opportunities

Study Abroad Program

AmbEx A m b e r g , Ge r m a n y

The Vils River flows peacefully through the heart of Amberg, Germany during a fall morning.

he vision for AmbEx was born out of hearts that longed for Christian Higher Education/Ministry in Amberg, Germany, which lies at the geographical center of Europe and epicenter of the

Reformation. We envision it to be a light in a dark world that will facilitate spiritual and intellectual growth and equip the next generation of Christian leaders—pastors, missionaries, businessmen and homemakers, to think and respond biblically to the Great Commission and man’s chief end, “to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”

An example of one of the “Resident Villas” that students will make home for a semester.

Academic travel is incorporated into the semester program and includes biblically significant sites such as ancient Corinth.

Local schools share resources with AmbEx offering modern conveniences in a historic context.

The Mission of AmbEx: In fidelity to Scripture and to the glory of the person and work of Jesus Christ our Savior, AmbEx exists to teach Christian students the vital historical and theological foundations of the Protestant, Evangelical Christian faith, through a personal, comprehensive, and life-changing in-class and on-the-road academic experience, and through involvement in the European missions activities of local churches in Amberg, Germany, and central Europe.

Amberg is steps away from campus offering rich history and experiences, such as the city’s medieval drawbridge.

Classrooms and other campus buildings are tucked into the quaint German city immersing students into the local culture.

Visiting nearby historical places, such as the Ettal Abbey, plays a key part in learning Reformation history.

The aim of AmbEx is to offer a God-centered, God-honoring,

Corban’s fall sports full of “Fan-atic” fun and promise

othing energizes a campus like vigorous group activity unified around a competitive mission. Five Corban athletic teams, with 80-plus personnel, have already hit the fall sports fields, athletic courts, and running trails in hot pursuit of excellence in 2007. And the anticipation is palpable. “It’s a fresh start, and that brings a lot of extra energy and enthusiasm and hard work,” says Caylin Bankston, one of two senior Corban volleyball team captains. “I’m excited because last year we did really well and I know the potential we have,” adds women’s cross country captain Jill Nielsen. “I’m just as excited about meeting all the new, fresh faces and getting back together with the rest of our team—we have a good connection together.” Corban College men’s and women’s soccer and men’s and women’s cross-country teams join the women’s volleyball squad to give the Corban community of “fan-atics” (devoted fans) plenty to buzz about this fall.

programs have seen a ground swell of “fan-atics” support with the help of special promo events like “Soccer Under the Lights”, volleyball’s “Serve it Up” home opener barbecue, and the first-ever Corban Invitational cross country meet. The events are again slated for this year and are cosponsored by Corban Athletics, Corban ASB, and the Warrior Athletic Association. [2007 Corban Athletics Fall special events schedule: “Soccer Under the Lights”, August 30 and 31; “Serve It Up” Volleyball BBQ, Sept. 11, and the Corban Invitational Cross Country meet, Sept. 20.] Beyond the flash and fervor of featured events and fan support, the Warrior fall teams have respective missions in mind. There are conference titles to pursue, regional and national tournaments to qualify for, and team promises to keep. “Last year we proved we could make it to nationals, and I know we haven’t run

our best there yet, so we have something to shoot for,” says Nielsen, who was a part of an historic first-ever Corban women’s cross country title-winning team in 2006. The Warrior women runners won the Cascade Collegiate Conference and competed at the NAIA national championship meet last October. For women’s soccer, the story has been one of decade-long success. “I’m excited because [the alumni game] really inspired me. That’s the best we’ve seen in a game this early in a season,” says soccer co-captain Megan Waunch. “We definitely have a lot of potential.” Last year the Corban women qualified for post season play for the 11th consecutive season. Warrior volleyball, under new head coach Heather Dunn seeks to rebound from a sub .500 campaign in 2006. “We have a deep bench and a lot of good athletes,” notes Bankston. “I think we’ll have more success this year as a team.” Her volleyball co-captain Ashley Lange agrees. “I’m most excited about trying to lead this team to many victories. It’s a lot more fun to win and I feel we can do that this year,” says Lange. With five freshmen and two sophomores, the men’s cross country squad hopes to build on youthful exuberance. “We have a lot of young talent this fall, so it’ll be fun to work with them and develop as a team,” says men’s cross country captain Brian Beeson. “You can glorify God in everything you do,” says Waunch. “You don’t really draw that connection until you’re on a team of believers. Playing at Corban helps bring all that back.”

Eldon Martens ’68 retired from his pastoral position at Central Baptist Church in Clovis, Calif., on May 27, 2007, where he had served since 1993. He founded the Fundamental Baptist Church in Escondido in 1973 and pastored there for over 14 years. He helped establish a Christian school, the Southern California Association of Christian Schools and served as president for years. He also served as vice president of the Western Association of Christian Schools. From 1983 to 1991 Eldon suffered from a major voice problem, Spastic Dysphonia, and stepped aside from pastoring. He moved his family to Clear Lake, Calif. and served at the Lucerne Christian Conference Center. He then moved his family to Marina and worked with a speech therapist who helped restore his voice. It was progressive yet miraculous work of God—that most experts in the medical field said was impossible. Eldon and wife Martha celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary July 13 and have five children and eleven grandchildren.

70s

Nina Robinson ’71 of Tacoma, Washington writes “Your recent article about how to handle our troopers coming home from war WAS WONDERFUL. I have worked for the Army for 30 years and very involved in health care of our troops, and your thoughts were right on. Keep up the good work; it was a very useful article. The biggest thing to do is just sit and listen to the young men and women that have had to go to the war and back again. I was glad to see a Christian magazine say something that everyone could use in everyday life.” Tom Hedges ’72 of Venice, Florida credits Western for preparing him for what would be 35 very challenging years of ministry after graduation. He began as San Francisco East Bay Regional Bible Club Director for Youth for Christ. He then transitioned to youth pastor in several churches including a ministry assisting G. Nelson Zarfas ’61 in San Pablo. After moving to Salem and completing college, he moved to Chico, California, serving as youth and education pastor at Grace Baptist. He was best known for leading the Thanksgiving Teen Leadership Conference at Mt. Hermon for the GARBC churches. He made a major move in accepting the call to Grace Gospel Church in West Virginia. During his ten years at Grace Gospel he pioneered youth concepts which led to

invitations to speak at Christian colleges and youth pastor’s conferences. Scripture Press Publications made him a part of their teacher development seminar team which involved traveling throughout the U.S. training church workers. Tom served the next 20 years at Calvary Baptist Church in Covington, Kentucky which included mission trips to Haiti, Jamaica and Martinique. He was asked to assume the executive pastor position after Calvary called Dr. Charles Wagner as pastor in 1991. Tom continued to fill the position of minister of education with 700 volunteers. Tom retired to Venice with his wife Lee Ann of 47 years. He now pursues golf and bicycling, teaches Tom with Dr. Charles Wagner Sunday School at the reception honoring and serves on the Tom on his retirement. deacon board of Venice First Baptist Church.

They lived in Phoenix for over 11 years when his division merged with FMCC. Because of that they moved to San Francisco and worked for 15 months for Volvo Finance, another division of FMCC. When that division closed, he accepted a position in Omaha, where they now live. They were in Omaha only three months when Ford announced plans to close all FMCC branches across the nation.
