We all have one. Whether it is one we have worked f

*â&#x20AC;˘

hard to obtain for ourselves, or one we were born with, we cannot rid ourselves of

our identity.

Our identity comes in many different forms. Some people may identify them selves by a sport or hobby, while others may find their identity with their job or even in other people. Each person's identity can be very different and shaped to them individually.

Yet, why is our identity so important? This all depends on what we find our identity in. Those who find their identity in temporary things have little eternal signifi cance, but those who find their identity in Christ find meaning and joy in their lives. When we find our identity in Him, we will find that we are loved, wonderfully made, valuable, and joint heirs with Christ. This is what gives our lives importance and eter nal meaning.

Alone, our identity has no positive bearing. When we get real with ourselves, we all have one common identity without Christ- sin. Since this identity is given to us at birth we can never obtain anything of eternal value without external assistance. We may be able to reach a status of wealth or power, but even that will one day pass away.

Because of Christ, however, we can find a new identity that can change our

lives and give us importance. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!"(ESV) Because of the great sacrifice of Christ, if we accept His salvation, sin will not be the thing that defines us. We can now be a new creation! Our identity can turn from being a hopeless sinner to a Child of the King. The identity we find in Christ is greater than any identity we could ever create for ourselves. Although we all have unique identities, as a college, our individual pieces come together to form a collective identity for Central Baptist College. Because of his own experience at CBC, President Terry Kimbrow says he wants the Christ-cen tered identity of the campus to be summed up in one word: Change. "People tend to think that all I care about is raising money, building buildings and growing the enrollmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;seeing my vision fulfilled," Kimbrow said. "I like those changes, too. But those things are just a means to an end. What really fulfills me is seeing souls saved and lives transformed through the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit."

Alone our identity measure up to nothing of eternal value, but because of the change Christ brings in our lives, we can find purpose. The change He brings can change our individual identity and ultimately the identity of the campus as a whole.

The newest additions to campus this year were the Story Library and Cafe 52, which will greatly benefit students now and in years to come.

"The library provides 16,000 square feet of study areas and resources for students to use," said Rachel Whittingham, library director.

"I really like the environment," said senior Dillon Lewis. "I like being able to have a place to study." The librarians were delighted and also thankful with how the library turned out. "I am very, very pleased. I am thankful for the administra tion for listening to our requests. I wouldn't change a thing and it's exactly what we wanted," said Whittingham. Students were able to begin using the library in January and are now able to have a larger variety of resources after not having a full-scale library for the past several semesters. Students have shown a great appreciation towards the library and the opportunities it provides since its opening. "I like the whole lounge area to hang out downstairs, and then the library upstairs to study," said sophomore Blake Forrest. "It is a great opportunity for fellowship." Along with the Story Library, Cafe 52 was opened inside the library, and provides a place for students to come and grab a cup of coffee or a quick snack while they study. "Cafe 52 is an essential service in addition to being not

only great coffee and tea, but to display and show the love of God,"said senior Jordan Bowen and Cafe 52 employee. The final campus change will be the new dorm coming to campus in August.

project to sitting in the cafe enjoying coffee with friends. The Story Library is a vibrant place according to many students.

The new library, which opened on February 1, 2014, has a number of features including a Science Resource Center for science students, a Curricula Media

Center for education majors, sitting areas, study rooms, computer labs, a cafe, college archives and much more. Librarians Rachel Whittingham and Crystal Long had considerable input into the features and amenities of the library. "I wanted two things in the library," said Whit

S^co^nizin^ a oervice-PIU |iÂŁ. Story by Mandi Shelton Many people have come and gone through out the existence of Central Baptist College, yet few have stayed long enough to truly leave a legacy. Phylis Hoffman is one of the few. To the sadness of many, she retired from her position as CBC's head registrar following the Fall 2013 semester. "I'm going to miss the students, and I loved the people I worked with," Hoffman said. Several of her colleagues expressed love and great respect for her. Stacy Jordan, who has worked with Hoffman in the registrar's office for 15 years said, "I appreciate Phylis and all that she taught me. Not just about the job, but about life and loving people." In 1962, Hoffmann came to CBC as a student.

She later returned as a part-time secretary, eventually moving up to head registrar and managing four other people in her department. Norman Crass, former CBC vice president of financial affairs, said that as a student, Hoffmann made

quite an impression on her ciassmates.

Once she became a part of the staff, Hoffmann continued to make an impact. She touched the lives of countless students

through her hard work and dedication as head regis trar, which did not go unnoticed. "I have watched her love on these students,

and care about their careers, goals, and aspirations," said Jordan. "I have seen her work long and hard to

help even one student figure out a way to finish their education so that they could move forward in life." During her tenure, Hoffman was instrumental in advancing several school policies, as well as in mat ters such as reforming the admissions process and the way students register. Gary McAllister, vice president of academ ics, and friend of Hoffmann for the past 21 years, described a few more of her contributions.

"Phylis has put together a program, trained all our advisors, and advised countless numbers of stu

dents moving towards graduation ceremonies, which she also plans. In addition to that, she has been active in developing an institutional research office," he said. Crass gave voice to the sentiments of the whoie CBC family, stating, "Phylis, we love you, and we wish you a happy retirement."

The experience of Central Baptist College is regarded by many students as special and unique. The Christian atmosphere that attracts students to the school makes for an extremely friendly campus where everyone feels welcome. "Students here are so welcoming," said freshman McKenna Wilson. "They are willing to go out of their way to make you feel like part of the group." There are plenty of things to do on campus. Special activi' ties, choirs and student organizations provide many options for students to become involved. Many students join intramural teams as well.

"There's a lot of things on campus to do," said sophomore Dylan Corbett. "I like the intramurals and living in the dorms. I'm close to my friends so we can just do things without a lot of plan ning." If sports are not one's forte, there are activities planned through the year. Movie nights every Sunday or planned game nights are a fun way to spend free time with friends. "Student life for me is having fun between classes, being a family with the rest of the students...and naps," said sophomore Tyler Brantley. "There is always something going in student life! Whether it's playing intramural sports with your friends, scaling the rockclimbing wall at Spring Fling, vomiting milk up in the Gallon Chal lenge, shooting each other out on the Paintball field, or simply watching a movie on the lawn, there is no reason to be bored at

CBC," said Kerry Morris. Morris said he and SAB are always trying to improve student

life and take suggestions for activities at any time. "CBC Student Life provides you opportunities to have fun with your friends all while being in a Christian atmosphere. It doesn't get any better than that!" said Morris.

(growing Tl^eC Story By Dillon Nix

In the spring of 2014, Central Baptist College had a total of 827 students enrolled at the college. Stacy Jordan, registrar, explained that the breakdown included388 traditional students, 38 high school concurrent students, 28 online students, and 308 PACE students. She also mentioned that the college had an increase of 33 students over the fall semester of 2013.

According to Ryan Johnson, associate vice president for enrollment management,"Overall enrollment will hit our spring goal as expected once we finish the next two opportunities to enroll for PACE and Online pro grams. Online enrollment has actually exceeded our expectations for the spring. Traditional enrollment finished just about where we expected."

Jordan said the college had 832 total students enrolled during the 2012-2013 school year, which, shows a slight decline in enrollment for this year.

"The economy is directly tied to our decreased enrollment for our traditional college students. Many students do not want to have any college debt and this often drives students to a more inexpensive option," said Johnson.

Johnson also explained that spring enrollment is usually less than fall enrollment at every college because the main push for traditional students to enroll is in the fall. He said,"Not everyone really knows how they will fit in on a college campus until they get there, or maybe life happens and they are forced to leave in the spring." In the fall of 2014, a new residence hall will be completed. Stacy Jordan said, "I'm hoping that it will be a

big incentive. Having a new up to date facility should be an encouragement." "In our research, new residence halls are one of the main contributors to increased enrollment, specifically

on-campus enrollment," said Johnson,"Every student deserves to live in a quality residence hall if they choose."

Vision 2020 is quickly finishing its first three buildings in the campaign said Johnson. ' in

"We believe that God is at work on this institution and that He wants to use Central Baptist College to equip future leaders for Christ," said Johnson.

Story by Mandi ShqJisE" August 13-23 was the Central Baptist College freshman orientation time known as MUD Week.

MUD stands for Mustangs Under Development. Formerly called Welcome Week, MUD Week is led by the Student Orientation Staff and is filled with numerous

activities designed to help CBC freshmen and first-time students get to know the campus, other students and the faculty of CBC. "The goal of MUD Week is to take our new students and immerse them into the culture of CBC. We

want them to solidify their choice in coming here and show them what CBC can offer them that no other insti

tution can," said Kerry Morris, campus life coordinator. MUD Week began on Tuesday with orientation, a welcome from SOS and a Meet Your Team event, where

all of the students were assigned to one of four differ ent teams. The week was packed with assemblies, team tournaments, and several other events.

not be so homesick. Family is a big deal to me, and having to leave them made me feel lonely. MUD Week helped me see that everyone here is my family. It's my home away from home." MUD Week festivities also greatly benefited com muters.

For example,freshman Sarah Winston said that MUD Week encouraged her to talk to other freshman and helped her get to know other students, which can often be a significant challenge for commuter students. Morris agreed. "College throws someone into a culture they are unfamiliar with," he said. "If they will put themselves out there and simply go to the events that MUD Week offers, I promise they will quickly become part of the CBC culture and be proud to call themselves a Mustang!"

ew (^ueen Story ByO Dillon Nix

As sophomore Rachel Etherington walked across the court with her father, she was greeted with cut-outs of her face being held by her fellow teammates.

"I knew they had them before the court but I was kind of surprised when they first showed them to me," said sophmore Rachel Etherington, first-runner up in the homecoming court. "I really felt loved by my team that they went all out to support me!"

Etherington was not only a runner-up for homecoming queen but also played in the girls' basketball game. "It was crazy because I felt like instead of focusing on one thing, I had to focus on two," said Etherington. She continued saying, "I found myself at times during the game thinking about how it was all going to play out." The girls nominated for this year's court by the student body included sophomore Samantha Tillman; junior Kelsey Fagala; sophomore Rachel Etherington: sophomore Yoyo Cho; sophomore Lauren Eyre; junior Sarah Hammontree, and sophomore Cassie Hawk.

This year to be on the homecoming court, prospects had to meet certain qualifications and were nominated

by the whole student body,faculty, and staff. Kerry Morris, Campus Life Coordinator said,"A girl on the court had to have a class of sophomore or higher, be enrolled in at least 12 hours, a traditional student, and meet the CPA requirement."

The student body elected Yoyo Cho as the new queen. "I was very glad and I felt honored," said Cho. She continued, "It was a very unexpected when they called my name out; I closed my eyes and just thanked God for this moment."

Homecoming this year had a few new changes which were considered improvements by some. Morris said, "One new thing about this year's homecoming is that we had a new system for nominating the court." He went on to explain that in previous homecomings, the student was nominated by a campus organization that they were a member of, by a housing facility, or by a sports team.

"It was a well thought out, fun weekend compared to some other weekend games," said Etherington, "It was really exciting to get our first conference game win; both games were exciting and competitive and I will definitely remember them."

Cajun food, inflatables, a rock wall, and group

break from school

games are some of the things that were a part of the Central Baptist College 2014 Spring Fling on April 25. The annual "food and fun" gathering at CBC during the spring semester allowed students one last opportunity to simply enjoy being together. "The goal of Spring Fling every year is to bring the student body together for a night of fun and to show appreciation to them for being awesome!" said Kerry Norris, campus life coordinator.

Spring Fling did exactly that. Students showed up

"It gives people from the school an opportunity to come together to just fellowship, have fun and enjoy a day without being worried about books and tests," said senior Dezzarrick Hamilton.

Several types of games and activities were avail

able at Spring Fling that were basically "hand-picked" by Norris and the Student Activities Board.

"I searched around and found different compa nies that rented out carnival style equipment. I presented all of the activities to the Student Activities Board, and

they selected their top choices," said Norris. In the midst of the variety of things that students

in droves at CBC for the event. "This is one of the first times that I have seen

everyone come out," said freshman Blair Courtney. "It has been really encouraging to see everyone bond over Spring Fling." Freshman Shelbbie Daugherty felt that the gath ering was great, because it provided the students with a chance to get to know others with whom they may not usually talk. Norris echoed this sentiment.

"It is a good way for students to look past the 'labels' of people and just enjoy having fun with each other. They all have one thing in commonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they are CBC students!" said Norris.

Spring Fling is not only a time for building and

were offered at the event, most of them seemed above

all excited about the Cajun food. Daugherty said that she was most impressed with the shrimp at Spring Fling and felt that it was the best part.

Courtney agreed as she listed the food offered. "There is shrimp, corn, crawfish, sausage, and all sorts of stuff. I love Cajun food. Free food is something everyone comes out for," said Courtney. Ultimately, Spring Fling reveals the true essence of Central Baptist College. "It's a community," said Hamilton, "It's good to see everybody together."

Chapel is not only a key element and foundational piece at Central Baptist College, it is seen by many as the essence of CBC.

"The life of CBC centers around the weekly chapel services. The mission and unique calling of CBC is to impact students academically and spiritually," said Donny Parrish,

spiritual life coordinator. "Jesus Christ is everything. There is no field of study that is complete without an understanding of the person and mission of Christ." Chapel, held every Wednesday in the Burgess Audi torium, began with worship and was followed by a message to encourage and challenge students in their walk with the Lord. Two themes existed this year that chapel speakers were to focus on.

"Last semester, the goal for chapel was for students to understand that God has a unique purpose for every life and for students to desire to spend time seeking God's will for their lives," said Parrish. "The goal for this semester was to challenge students to serve God through serving other people." These themes, according to students, were well por trayed. "I feel that I can take away from chapel this year how to serve people. I learned not just about being served myself, but about serving people," said freshman Alesha Hughes. 32

The chapel speakers were selected by Parrish and were made up of a variety of people with varied backgrounds. "I liked the speakers that Donny brought in. We had Steve Crawley from LifeWord, who is a business guy and was able to step back from money to form a ministry," said senior Devin Digullio, "Then we had people like Bro. Shawn Hammontree who just overall lightened the whole atmosphere. Also, Jordan Bowen, who is a student here, totally brought It." Besides the sermons, chapel worship was significant. "Worship is what we were created to do. I'm grateful for the students who came to worship each week," said Par rish.

Worship was led by a student worship band, made up of members with a passion for leading people into the pres ence of Christ.

"Above all, my whole goal when I get up on stage is to lead people to the throne of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that's it. For me, it's this one goal that kind of drives everything else," said junior Drew Russell, leader of the chapel band. For Hughes, chapel serves the purpose for which it was intended.

"Usually Wednesdays are my roughest and busiest days, and chapel helps me just calm down and allow God to move in me," said Hughes.

Michael Mayo, Director of Annual Giving, came up with the idea for the Hammock Farm on CBC's campus. "The plans for it included a unique area for stu dents to be able to relax, study, and communicate with each other," said Mayo. Although, it is not affiliated with CBC, students also have the opportunity to get involved with the com

During the 2013-2014 school year the organizations at Central Baptist College increased in both number and variety. According to Rachel Steele, director of student services, "This year was a big year for organizations. We added two new organizations and reinstated one organization." The new organizations this year are the Spirit Squad which is sponsored by Katie Fleming, student records clerk, . and the Fishing Club sponsored by Jeff Riddle, chair of physical education department. Fellowship of Christian Athletes(FCA) is being brought back to life by Aaron Brister. "The CBC Fishing Club was established in the Fall 2013 semester to provide interested students an opportunity to par ticipate in local and regional collegiate fishing tournaments repre senting CBC," said Jeff Riddle. Well-known organizations on campus, according to Steele, are the Student Activities Board (SAB), and the Student Orientation Staff(SOS). These two organizations have the most recognition around campus. Kerry Norris, campus life coordinator, was in charge of the SAB for the first time this year and wanted to get the group more involved on campus. "I am trying to figure out what works and doesn't work," said Norris, "I want to get a diverse group of students involved in the Student Activities Board to get more students involved on campus." SOS is involved with incoming students and tries to get students involved on campus before the year begins. "The goal for members of the staff is to come away with leadership skills," said Steele. "I want students to gain these skills and be able to use them even after CBC."

the word of God, be a news source that will always tie into Christ in some way, reflect students opinion in a God honoring way, and provide some good music for students to listen to," said sophomore Tyler Brantley, station manager..

Mustang Radio features student DJs playing all types of music. Each DJ selects a type of music to play for his or her hour-long show several times weekly. Formats include contemporary Christian, Christian rap, Christian rock, Christian metal and

Brandon said he usually has something to say for a few minutes after three or four songs. "Then I'll play a few more songs and then talk one last time before the last song," he added. The DJ is responsible for the musical content

of the show and any remarks that are said. Mustang Radio producers take care of the technical aspects, including setting up a show, completing paperwork, making sure the microphone is working, and the computer is on.

Re?[i|-ÂŤ Weekly clean room checks, midnight curfew checks, late night meetings and planning activities for the dorms - these are just a few things that the Residential Life (ResLife) staff entails. ResLife includes five resident assistants for each dorm,two stu

dent activity leaders and a head residential director.

The job of a student activity leader is to plan a weekly Bible study as well as sponsor activities for the entire dorm. Junior Nikki Hendon, student activity leader, said her favorite

thing about being on ResLife "would probably be getting to meet new people and make new friends that will last a lifetime." Sophmore Alex Zulpo said he moved to Williams Hali because all of his friends were there.

"My favorite thing about living on campus is that when you need something, or when you need to talk to someone, someone is always there for you, especially the RAs," said Zulpo. Curfew checks and clean room checks don't bother him, he said.

"Curfew hasn't been a problem for me and room checks keep 44

everything nice and tidy, which helps me to be organized," Zulpo said.

The staff has a heart for the students and a heart for God as well.

Sarah Headley, resident director of Bruce Hall, said, "At

first I had a lot of hesitancies about the position, but ultimately God had it on my heart to pursue it."

Headley followed what she felt God pushing her to pursue. "Since then, it has been a huge blessing to me. Being the resident director at CBC and working here in general has changed my life!" Headley said. Headley said the ResLife staff even calls her "Mom." ,"Every year I have different ResLife Staff and every year they are amazing in their own way...this year's staff is no different. I truly love them!" Headley said. Story by Kelsey Fagala

When new students arrive at Central Baptist College, the primary goal is to make them feel welcome. This is the sole purpose of the Student Orientation Staff, or SOS. Made up of students who currently attend CBC, SOS strives to show new students the love of Christ and the welcoming atmosphere at CBC. To become a member of the SOS team, students must meet several criteria.

Rachel Steele, Director of Student Services, explains: "Students interested in being a part of SOS must have and maintain a cumulative CPA of at least 2.5, have been enrolled at CBC for at least one semester, be in good standing with the College, and attend all mandatory meetings, trainings, and activities." Despite the rigorous qualifications involved, students often desire to participate in SOS for the benefits and satisfying experience. "Being on SOS was the most fulfilling, exciting thing that I have ever been a part of at CBC," said Junior Tiffani Curtwright. Welcome Week, or MUD Week, is the week where SOS especially has the chance to shine. It is during this time that SOS has the opportunity to welcome the incoming freshman. Throughout the week, the Student Orientation Staff wears bright yellow T-Shirts in order to stand out to new students and to allow the incoming freshman to know who to talk with regarding any questions they may have. "SOS Team Members act as 'walking ice breakers' for freshmen. They are trained and expected to make new students feel welcome," said Steel.

Senior DJ Pruitt was the MUD Master for MUD Week this past fall. In other words, he was the SOS member who facilitated the events; however, he is well aware that he could not have done his job well without the rest of the staff.

"My job was to keep everything high energy and exciting," said Pruitt, "But I couldn't do anything without all of the other SOS members planning everything." Welcome Week not only profoundly impacted the incoming students, but SOS team members as well. Sopho more Galya Veleva was new to the SOS this year, and, expressed it quite clearly.

"Being a member of SOS was a great experience that I'm very thankful for. I'm glad I had the opportunity to help new students the same way that someone helped me when I was a freshman," Veleva said. 46

0^e<^"king Communitq The Student Activity Board (SAB) and campus

life coordinator Kerry Norris had many activities planned for the year. See You at the Pole, held at the flag pole in October, was one of many events. Sunday nights were designated as Movie Night, and included movies such as "Wreck It Ralph," "Iron Man 3," "How to Save a Life" and "Monsters University." Intramural sports such as ultimate Frisbee, softball, and flag foot ball were played, Norris said. A new event planned by SAB was Stress-Free Week, which took place the week before finals each semester and included stress reliving events such as game nights, movie nights and even a campus-wide workout.

Norris worked to get students more involved with campus life activities, said senior Dillon Lewis.

"Kerry is really into getting people involved and you can tell he cares about what he is doing," said Lewis. Senior Marleigh Williams said SAB held more

Story Jessica Yancey meetings, which was good. "The members were more encouraged to help plan events as well as attend meetings and events," Williams said.

SAB planned some of CBC's annual events. Fall Hay Day and Harvest Party. Fall Hay Day, held October 24 at the home of Jeff Riddle, chair of the physical education depart ment, was one of the largest events of the year. The activities included a bonfire, hayride, worship, and hay bale jumping. Another annual favorite was the formal

dinner known as Harvest Party. This year's theme was Candy Land. "I like being in SAB," said freshman Addie Bender. "I like planning events. I think it is good that students get to plan events." The SAB meetings were held every two weeks to discuss activity ideas, Norris said.

for -Everyone Intramurals, which offers students a

chance to play sports for fun, is also a source of major competition on campus. Students have a chance to play softball, basket ball, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, football and indoor soccer through intramurals. During the fall, students participated in softball, football and frisbee. During the spring, volleyball, basketball and indoor soccer were offered.

Ministry and Food Mike Rush talks to the Minister's Association about

the serving ministry at Soul Food Cafe. Photo by Katie Ponder

"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another," says Proverbs 27:17 (ESV). The Minister's Association, which is more com

monly referred to as "MAs," provides fellowship, inspi ration, encouragement, and opportunities for ministry. Martin Jameson, sponsor of the Minister's Association, said MAs want to inspire and facilitate spiritual growth, as well as equip ministerial students for effective minis try.

Every year the Minister's Association has a specific theme for all speakers. "The theme for [this] year was new - Fight the Good Fight of Faith," said Jameson. "All of our speak er's messages were built around this theme." Jameson said the MAs devoted one meeting exclusively to prayer and another to communicating with mission aries around the world., which was something new for the group. Senior Jordan Bowen said one requirement of MAs this year was something he easily remembered. "One of my favorite memories of MAs is when Bro. Martin asked us to email a few missionaries

around the world, telling them that we were praying 54

for and supporting them," he said. As far as future plans for the association, Jameson said he hopes the association will teach members how to witness to others.

"Next year we are planning on providing evange lism training and exposing our guys to seasoned ministry veterans," said Jameson. "These guys will be sharing les sons that they have learned over their lifetime in minis try." Relationships between MA members was some thing senior Zach Phillips felt strongly about. "I would love to see more brotherhood within

the MA members," he said. "MAs can potentially provide a great avenue for young guys surrounded by others ministers who are pursuing growth and provide account ability." Bowen agreed.

"What makes MAs so great is that its focus Is not on us but on the Lord and His work and how we can be a

part of that," said Bowen. Story by Dillon Nix

The business department at Central Baptist

College has an overall mission to develop leaders with a heart for Christ, according to Chris Medenwald, assistant professor of business. The department offers classes in accounting, business law, computer applications, leadership and marketing. "There are a wide variety of classes to take, and it's cool to see how they relate to real-life circum stances as well," said sophomore Antonio Rivera. Beth Cantrell, associate professor and depart ment chair, said that her favorite part of being in the

business department is watching students grow, both spiritually and professionally, and enter the workforce as well-equipped leaders. Cantrell said a business degree offers a pleth ora of employment options.

i "Almost every field hires people with business skills," she noted. "The opportunities are endless." The addition of a fully-online degree in busi'less administration has also been a source of excite

ment this year, Cantrell said. The program is offered via the Professional Adult College Education department at CBC and provides a new avenue for those seeking a business degree to attain it. "I wasn't sure how I'd be able manage getting

a degree while being able to work to live, but the busi ness degree through PACE is definitely the answer," said freshman Sawyer Hall. "I go to class one night, attend class online a couple of other evenings, and have the rest of the week to study and work. I'm loving the classes too, they are interesting and relevant."

Everyday is Something New People have been pushing the English department at Central Baptist College to excellence every year, said Henry Smiley, department co-chair. Smiley, who has been teaching for 25 years, said what has changed most in the department is the number of faculty members. "It was a much smaller campus when I started in 1989, not nearly as many faculty, administrators, and staff," said Smiley. The department has really grown, he said. "It's been exciting to watch the campus change and to watch the number of students increase, to see the increas

ing diversity among the students," he said. What differentiates the English department from any other department is using the Bible as literature.

Smiley said. "We are able to bring a Biblical perspective to what we do. Here we can explore a full range of ideas and give each one the full weight it deserves," he said. Ann Gardner, department co-chair, agreed with

"I am blessed to be in this department because we have just tremendous people! We have Ann Gard ner, Michel Sadiowski, Chad Smith and even Gary McAl lister," said Smiley. Smith, a new faculty member in the depart ment, teaches Gomposition 1 and Oral Communication, Gardner said.

"He's not new to campus, he has taught adjunct classes for about four years, but he is now full time in the department," she said. Gardner said the addition of a bachelor of sci

ence degree in English and a secondary English teaching degree through the education department are the big gest changes she has seen in the department. "We don't just have English majors, we also have students majoring in English to get a Bachelor of Science in Education," said Gardner. "Having been a high school teacher for a long time, I am really excited that we have that."

"I like it that we can incorporate Christ into our classes and to me that's one of the best things about

Adventures in l^erto Rjco Story by Kelsey Fagala

The Central Baptist College Choir flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico for their choir tour March 22-29

during Spring Break, facing many challenges while also learning that God always provides. Choir director is Jim Turner, CBC alumni and

music pastor at Oak Park Baptist Church in Little Rock. Sophomore Darius Tolbert said Turner is "truly a God fearing leader and a man of great faith. Him following God's guidance is what made this tour a success." One aspect of the trip was the language, as most people in Puerto Rico speak Spanish, although many know Eng

how much God wanted this trip for the choir. Freshman Pranay Borde was also amazed to see the funds for the trip raised. "Seeing the enormous amount and the monumental challenge of fundraising brought me to a place of doubt, but I quickly realized that God will provide, and He did just that, leaving me awestruck," he said. Borde said, he was was deeply moved by the love received in Puerto Rico.

"The churches were so welcoming and inviting and it was just pure joy to sing with them, regardless of the language barrier," he said.

Central Baptist College offers an opportunity for working adults to obtain a college degree. The professional Adult College Education is perfect a solution for those who did not finish college or never started because of work or family. PACE classes meet one night each week and most courses are completed within five weeks.

One of many instructors in the PACE program explained explains the difference between traditional and PACE classes.

"My classes are typically an older group of students," Henry Smiley, professor of English, said..

"The students also take it very seriously. Most of them are self-motivated."

Smiley tells what classes he enjoys most to

teach, "I love teaching the Literature classes. It is my passion and I find it fun to introduce the literature to

the students," he said. With instructors like Smiley there must be

students. A returning student to CBC, but new to the

f*ACE program is Samuel Allender, the Residential

Director of Williams Hall. Allender takes general studies classes.

"I am currently taking World Literature II and PACE Orientation, but have College Algebra and Psychology lined up," he said. Allender plans to graduate, although he has not decided on a major. "Depending on the degree path I choose, I could graduate within a year," he said. Allender is also an infantryman in the Arkansas National Guard. He said this involvement

has not affected his PACE studies, "other than I am

more disciplined as a student now." The PACE program is continuing to grow both numerically and in the degree options it

provides. PACE is an accessible a great solution for adults that are looking to begin or reinvest them selves in higher education, all while fitting into a working lifestyle and schedule. Story By Steve Dominquez 91

lifetime Story by Scott Cavin and Mandi Shelton The mission of the Physical Education Department is to help students grow and build a lifetime of wellness and fitness.

According to Jeff Riddle, department chair, the department also wants to grow students' knowl edge of personal health, as well as provide them with a desire and ability to enjoy recreational activi ties.

Central Baptist College offers a wide variety of physical education classes to allow everyone to be able to take a class they will enjoy. "All of the physical education activity classes that we offer are lifetime sports," said Riddle. "The courses offered are golf, bowling, racquetball, bad minton, volleyball, basketball, walking and fitness, self defense, and advanced self defense."

Students are required to take two hours of physical education courses for any major. Each is a one hour course, so a student must choose two that

they prefer.

necessary hours," said sophomore Reuben Staton. Freshman Allison Martin agreed with the sentiment expressed by Staton. She stated, "I loved being able to choose which class I took, instead of just being placed in a generic physical education class that is boring and not fun,." she said.

Martin was quick to point out that she greatly enjoyed the class that she chose. "I took the self- defense class," said Martin.

"This class taught me a lot about self-defense, which I think is something that everyone should know about. I would definitely recommend this class." Offering a diverse selection of course

choices to students that are enjoyable is certainly an important aspect of the physical education curricu lum to the students, as they expressed previously, and yet, the classes are also about much more. "The goal is to equip students with the

knowledge and skills of the sport and encourage lifetime participation for a healthier lifestyle," said Riddle.

Story By Mandi Shelton

Being an athlete at Central Baptist College during the 2013-2014 school year came with both great expectations and great benefit. The CBC sports program is based on the philosophy that a student athlete is to grow in his or her relationship with God and to represent Him in competition, according to junior Nicholas Doyle, who expressed this foundational focus.

"Being a Christian athlete comes with a lot of responsibility on and off the field," said Doyle, a soccer player from South Africa. "You always have to remember the values your school holds and try to put them into effect on the field."

Being an athlete can also be rewarding. "The best part about participating in CBC athletics is being around a group of athletes that are faithful to God, who have good attitudes and have each other's backs," said freshman Taylor Graham, Softball player. Strong faith in God plays an unapologetically significant role in the lives of the CBC athletes.

Freshman Chase Stuart said God is very important to him in what he does athletically. "Right before a game starts, I always say little prayer to Him," said Stuart, a soccer player. "It's comforting and helps to calm my

4*.

nerves."

Doyle echoed the same sentiment. "I've definitely gotten a lot closer to God during my time at CBC. I'm not sure that would be the case if I were at a different school," said

Doyle.

There is another element that sets the CBC athletic program apart from others. "Here, there is a huge emphasis on developing good relation ships," said junior baseball player Samuel Bucsek. "I feel that many schools focus mainly on the product that an athlete brings rather than looking for ways to actually impact the athlete." Stuart also recognized the relational emphasis as being unique. "The best part of being an athlete at CBC this year was definitely making so many new friends. Even though there were some rough spots, we were all able to go through them together," said Stuart. Doyle collectively expressed the perspective of the CBC student athletes.

"I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to play at CBC. I've been placed in an awesome environment and have met some great people. I'm very thankful," said Doyle.

Growth is the word that describes the Central

Baptist College volleyball team this season, as this year has been about new beginnings. With first-time college coach Jillian Jeffcoat at the helm, the team has developed steadily.

"Coaching is more than just teaching volleyball to a group of girls," says Jeffcoat. "It gives me the oppor tunity to lead a team through the ups and downs of a season. It allows me to impact not just the girls' perfor mance on the court, but their lives in general and hope fully their walk with Jesus." Sophomore Samantha Tillman feels positively

but since we started, we have grown a tremendous amount as a team and as players," Tillman said. "I think this season was a huge building block for many successful seasons ahead for the CBC volleyball program." "We traveled quite a bit this year, but going to Iowa and Nebraska was my favorite," said freshman Gloria Bell."We spent a lot of time on a bus getting to know one another and becoming a stronger team every minute of it."

The team was also competitive in many of the

As the first season of being baseball head coach, Aaron Brister, along with his assistant coaches, Corey Duke and Jonathan Buczek, led the Central Baptist Mustangs through a record breaking season with 29 wins with two weeks left of playoffs, breaking the former record of 23 wins by a total of 6. "I enjoy the calling of getting to help shape young men's life on a daily basis," said Brister. "It is an honor."

"Before this year I had never been a part of a record breaking team so that was big for me, the team and our school," freshman Santez Richardson said.

Richardson said as the season progressed, the team really started to bond. "Coach Brister put a lot of emphasis on growing as a family with this team," he said.

"This year Coach Brister has really stressed becoming a family, and I feel like we have become that. I believe that this has helped us in our success as a team," said sophomore Nick Hefley.

Hefley also said it makes a huge difference in baseball to have teammates pushing each other in positive ways.

Brister, along with a few helpers, created a new fan group called the Diamond Darlin's. This group is composed of nine girls that come to the field every weekend and work the concession stand and make the students aware of game times. "Another big support we have had is from our "Diamond Darlin's"! These girls helped publicize our games, raise money and cheered us on each time we played," Hefley said.

Freshman Colin Fluesmeier said that his favor

ite part of being in baseball is the family and the brotherhood bond that has been created.

"Playing baseball is great, but playing with brothers is even better," he said.

IDENTITY Story by Sarah Hammontree 1:

"Therefore, if anyone Is In Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone, the new Is here!"(2 Corinthians 5:17) As we look back and reflect on this year, many students, faculty and staff can agree that the 2013-2014 academic year has seen many changes. Some of those changes have been physical with the construction of two new buildings, while others have been spiritual through the changing of hearts. For freshmen, college is a whole new world. The biggest change is finding inde pendence and experiencing what high school teachers often referred to as "the real world".

"I have made so many new friendships with people that will last a lifetime. I have definitely met my best friends in college," says freshman Emily Luck. "College has also been a great growing place for my relationship with Christ. CBC has definitely changed my life forever and I will cherish the memories I have made my freshman year. I can't wait to make more memories in the future."

For sophomores and juniors, there has been a constantly changing atmosphere with a new group of students and additions throughout the campus. "This year has made me realize that college is more than just grades, but is a journey that requires perseverance and endurance," said junior Dez Hamilton. For seniors, a new experience is in sight as this chapter comes to a close and

they are able to put their education to use in upcoming jobs and positions. "CBC has brought me to a deep understanding of faith, love, and friendships! I am very thankful to have gone to a school that allows me and encourages me to grow in that," said senior Rustin Woods.

To the campus of CBC, buildings have gone up, money has been raised and new students have been enrolled. Yet, these are not the most important changes that have been made.

This year the Lord has moved in undeniable ways. Yes, our student body has seen tragedy with the loss of a student and with the effects by tornadoes, but through these unsettling changes, one thing remains constant - our mighty God. The Lord has used the chapel topic of Service to encourage and challenge us through speakers to impart us with the knowledge of serving opportunities. God has directly changed individuals through this year. Many people now find their identity in Christ because of their decision to accept him as Lord of their lives. Others have stepped out on faith as they follow where the Lord is leading them beyond CBC.

Whether we walked onto this campus in August as an athlete, singer, faculty, freshman or senior, we believe all of us will leave with similar identitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;changed. Changed Freshman Mandi Shelton, Timothy Nobly, sophomore Yo Yo Cho, senior Klancey McElroy, freshman Kendall Ayres, senior Rustin Woods, sophomore Cassie Hawk, Michael Mayo, and sophomore Dillon Nix, stand together to represent their roles at CBC show they have been changed.
