story by: Melody Siebenmann Centralizing students. Transforming

lives.

"Our focus is ttie transformation

of students through the integration of Christian faith and academic excellence in a Christ-centered

environment," said President Terry Kimbrow.

This is what Central Baptist College is about, what the central purpose for the school is - the transformation of

a student's life through the mind and the spirit. in the span of a year,there ore challenges, new experiences, community involvement and the expression of individuality. At our college, uniquely,there is also the added element of spirituality, which is the essence of the meaning of life - to live for the glory of God. With this understanding brings a life transformation in which people learn to love others and change as

\ yt

a person as a result of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship, as well as academics, is at the core of what the school is and

who the students ore and who they will become.

One year to showcase this metamorphosis within a student, a staff and a school.

"Do not be conformed to this world, * but be transformed by the renewal

of your mind,that by testing you may

discern what is the will of God, what is

good and acceptable and perfect."Romans 12:2 ESV

I think the coolest thing was getting to see the shadows of the trees, you know,the little crescents on the ground," said senior Candra Barnett, who watched the eclipse outside of the Cooper Complex. Judy Gabbard, chair of the science department, provided glasses for her physical science class. She wanted her students to be able to view science in action. The eclipse provided an opportunity to discuss weather change and the effect of ceiestiai bodies on terrestrial climate.

togettier to worship story by: Melody Siebenmann

Spiritual life coordinator and chapel leader Denny Parrlsh said the whole mission at Central Baptist College Is to educate students In a spiritual context. Parrlsh said the way CBC achieves this Is through weekly chapels and Mustangs Under Development groups tor students to realize the importance of spiritual life. Specifically, he said chapel Is for taking a break on the present to set students' minds on the eternal.

"Chapel is a place for the students of CBC to really experience some time with God every week," said Parish. "If chapel Is not making a difference in students lives, then I'm probably not doing a very good job." Senior Shayla Green Is a leader of a MUD group this year because she says she wants to help people grow. She also said that CBC's purpose for the disclpleship groups Is to provide a place for care and encouragement. "I think CBC Is passionate about strengthening our walk with the lord and they want to give us a platform to grow," said Green."They want to implement areas In our lives so they know someone Is there for that person all the time." Junior Nathaniel Lawrence Is also Involved with MUD

groups: he trains the leaders and acts as a resource for them. "MUD group Is all about putting money where your mouth Is," said Lawrence. "It Is an Intimate small group so you can grow disciples who make disciples (which is) based off of Jesus's model."

Fine arts dedicates band hali Story by: Melody Siebenmann

During the second year of a bond

program at Central Baptist Coilege, a $400,000 band hall was constructed in honor of Mary Ned Foster and all glory given to God.

"Without God,this would not have

happened," said Tim Gunter, director of bands, "i am humbled to be a part of it." Gunter said that band, made up of 30 students, enhances the school experience and provides one more place where people can belong. "It opens the doors for more people, and creates a family that will be a family for life," said Gunter.

Freshman Olivia Farris, a flutist, said she

liked that the band hail is more spacious and will allow the band to practice without being in the way of others. "The band hali is important to me because we have a space to call our own," said Farris. "The Lord provided for our needs."

sound of laughter swells, a puppy runs to and fro, and the sight of students engaged In competitive games littered about the grass describes Spring Fling. Steak kabobs, watermelon,fresh corn and bread,9

square In the air, splkeball, Frisbee, and simple fellowship on April 27 brought the campus together to have fun before finals. According to Kerry Norris, director of student success, Spring Fling is a cookout celebration for the students that has been occurring for years. Norris said he remembers when he participated In the event as a student. "The main thing Is a student appreciation dinner to thank our students for being awesome," said Norris."We wouldn't be

here without them."

Freshman Jocelyn Waters said It was kind of the staff to set up the event, and she said she liked to watch everyone have fun togefher and relax. "It Is the last big hurrah to get us prepared and pumped for finals," said Waters. "It Is important to get rid of stress and enjoy

the nice weather."

Senior Austin Bowman has come to Spring Fling two years In a row with Shayla Green, his soon-to-be wife. He said he enjoyed the community and the free food. "I like to play games with other people and win," said Bowman. "I would say It Is a success because a lot of people showed up and had a good time."

During the week the students were able to spend time in the

"My favorite part of choir tour was getting to know more people," said freshman Olivia Farris. "I am in band and I don't get to see or meet ail the choir kids, and It was great getting to know them on the trip." Besides the city of Chicago,the students were able to visit the replica of Noah's Ark, called the Ark Encounter, in Williamstown, Ken.

"The ark was cool because It really put things in perspective for me," said sophomore Dylan Bradley. "It Included a lot of small details I would have never thought of." The fine arts tour Is another tradition at Central Baptist College that has lasted through the years. "Tour will always be fun no matter where we go," said Bradley.

ctiurcties were gatlnered togethierto pray forttie next generation at Central Baptist College. One Cry was lead In worshiip by CBC students and tine Minister's Association served as greeters. Senior Jacob Bentley described MA as "a group of young men and women wino are recognizing their call to ministry and

using that group to foster that call." He said it was important for MA members to be present at the prayer event because It showcased that the next generation was active In the mission of One Cry. "The mission of One Cry is to pray that God revives the believers In the mlllenlal generation of Conway and to renew the ones who do not know him," said Duffy Guyton, director of church relations. Guyton says his hope Is the Lord will raise up leaders to fight for their generation, right here at CBC. " I could see that the MA program and Bible department students could lead regarding the spiritual direction [of revival) and that's only through prayer," said Guyton. The Bible department is central to every person on the CBC campus,according to Martin Jameson,assistant professor

of Bible. However, he said that before heartfelt prayer can commence, people need to be entirely captivated by their creator first.

"We try to get people committed to prayer and we need to get them committed to the Lord," said Jameson. "I just want to see people fall In love and pursue him and I'd love to see that happen campus wide."

"My testimony is not one of a single emotional moment, but rather God

patiently working his grace in my life," said senior Zochary Siebenmann. Being from a divorced home affected him in a quiet way, he said. However,Siebenmann's father received

custody of him and his younger sister and they were raised in a Christ-centered home.

"We grew up in church with my dad, were around the truth, and encouraged to read it," said Siebenmann.

"in second grade i was baptized, and i believe that that was genuine." Although Siebenmann was active in church ail throughout his childhood and adolescence, he grew and was challenged the most in college.

"I don't think i learned to hate

sin as i ought until my freshman year of college when God worked through many people in my life," said Siebenmann. "These people helped me to grasp how terrible my sin was, were my first genuine friends ever, and challenged me to grow spirituaiiy."

Within his first two years of college he said he experienced the lowest valleys of his life, but through them he said he learned true Joy and a reliance on God that grew him in the right direction. "By the end of my senior year, God blessed me with my best friend, my wife, for whom 1 am indescribably thankful," said Siebenmann."Looking back on my life to this point, I see God's incredible mercy and grace as he patiently worked in my life."

"At a church rally, they did the usual altar call and I

felt my hand slowly slide up as tears welled up in my eyes," said Hillman. "I didn't really know what I was doing, but I felt freed in that moment(and) i went home that night to an empty house, but a full

"I had o 'salvation experience' when I was 7 years old. The preacher was preaching a hellfire and brimstone message and I got scared and didn't wont to go to hell so I come and mode a confession of faith, Throughout junior high and high school I did not live as If my life

hod been transformed through a relationship with Jesus Christ, i went to basic training and they mode me a chapel guide. It meant that i spent the majority of my flme on Sundays of fhe church, I sforfed bringing Bibles bock to the barracks for my flight to read, i started leading Bible studies, I think the Lord used that time to grow my faith even more so than the individuals in the small group with me, i

graduated basic training and ended up coming here, to CBC, and

Sit was here that for the first time In my life i saw people living out their faith in a day-to-day way and it had a huge impact on my life. It was at a Perspective service on a Wednesday night that I realized that a true relationship with Jesus Christ Is something that is going to change your life, convictions, and values, I realized that that wasn't true for my life, I believe if was that night of my freshman year of college when I experienced true salvation,"

Tim Gunter, director of bands, was

the worship pastor at First Baptist Church in Camden when he was approached by a former chair of the fine arts department In 2016 about ieading the band program at Centrai Baptist Coiiege. After some discussion and a iot of prayer, Gunter ieft his comfort zone and foiiowed God's leading to CBC.

Gunter had already been a band director, first at Rutgers University and then at the University of Arkansas, his aima mater. "The Lord aiiows us to see things In hindsight and how he puts things together, and it's a beautifui thing," said Gunter. "There's a iot of trust and faith that has to go

on with our future,"

One thing that Gunter said he advises students is to be proactive, not reactive, in their reiationship with God. "Reactive is when you're in charge, and things happen,and you go,lord i need your heip.' And he'ii heip you, but it's so much better if you start with him first and try to foilow his wili as iife goes on," said Gunter.

Gunter's immediate vision for the

band is that the program and the students in it wili remain Christ-centered, and that he can be involved with in students' lives in and out of academics.

His iong-range vision Is for the program to grow large enough to have both a jazz band and a concert band. "I'm happy to be here. I may be as fuifiiied right now as I've ever been in my iife," said Gunter. "This is the most fuifiliing because:! get to do it at a school that honors Jesus."

Ryan Johnson, vice president of enroiiment management at Central Baptist Coiiege, was a coiiege baseball coach and athletic recruiter for 12 years, which he says makes him uniquely qualified for his administrative job overseeing admissions and athletics.

"I still feel like I'm a coach at this

level of leadership (because) you have to do a lot of coaching, a lot of encouraging, and instructing," said Johnson. "That's probably my favorite part of the job is that i get to be 'coaching' and i love the team, the energy, and ail of the aspects of the team and that's what prepared me for this job." Although Johnson doesn't directly recruit students anymore, he does help come up with strategies and plans for recruitment through the admissions department. With enroiiment dropping this year, Johnson explained the strategy admissions uses to reach out to high school students.

"We try to focus in specifically on the student experience. We try to put dollars into the campus visit experience, the group

■° "i

and the individual visits," said Johnson, "We

start there because that's our approach, our very personalized approach." Johnson, who is originally from Rockford, ill., said he came to Arkansas to

play baseball at Lyon Coiiege. "The baseball coach there at the

time recruited me, so I came down to play

and just fell in love with Arkansas," said

Johnson. Following coiiege, he played baseball for independent leagues, began coaching at the University of Central

A student becoming an employee is not on uncommon occurrence on the

campus of Central Baptist College, and Rachel Steele is one employee that fits this phrase to a T, Steele's most recent position on campus is associate vice president of student services, a position in which she oversees many aspects of campus life, Steele, who graduated in 2010, readily admitted she loves CBC.

"I really think God is doing amazing things here," she said. As a student, Steele volunteered

in several different positions and said that experience helped to open many doors for her. She obtained a master's degree in college administration from Arkansas Tech University and stayed on at CBC beoause it was important to her to be at a Christian school.

The hardest career issue she feels she has faced so far was the transition

into supervising friends from college and people with more experience than she has.

While she has always worked under the umbrella of student services,she

said her favorite position was the first one she held as an admissions officer.

"Admissions was so fun! I got to travel and go to fairs and meet lots of people," she said. in looking toward the future, Steele says she has no real plan. "I'm just open to whatever God has planned," she said, "i do see my future at this college."

faculty, staff, and students to glorify God.

With a central purpose reflecting Jesus Christ - the campus shines the light of God's love In the classroom and on the field.

In one year, a metamorphosis rc.

within a student, a staff and o school has occurred.

"Do not be conformed to this world,

but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what Is the will of God, what is

good and acceptable and perfect."Romans 12:2 ESV
