What they say ?I enjoy the personal way the classes are taught and the practical applications. The spiritual environment at BBC is like nothing I've ever experienced. The faculty members aren't interested in us simply knowing facts?they want us to be able to apply what we are learning in class to know what we will do in real life situations so we can better serve God. I've learned priceless lessons about life and sports ministries.? - Josh Workman, BBC student ?Sports ministry offers one of the best avenues to reach and impact our culture for Christ. I believe God is going to do amazing things through this type of ministry. In the Sports Ministries program, the faculty had a huge impact on my life. Many faculty members served as mentors to me spiritually. They invested in my life and prepared me for my future ministry. I loved the small class size. It gave us an opportunity to interact with the professors. All of the training that I received in the sports ministry program at BBC was very helpful in preparing me for the various ministry leadership positions that I've had.? - Jon Young, BBC graduate, Head Coach for Uncharted Waters Sports Ministry Organization View more details on Baptist Bible College and Seminary .
