Derek Hagland, Vice President

My primary objective for the young people in our youth ministry was leading them to the place where they would yield their lives to do whatever God wanted, i.e. complete surrender. For many teenagers who graduated out of our youth group, that meant going off to Bible College. I was always hopeful that leaders there would invest the same personal interest in my young people that I had. However, I must admit, I was fearful they either could not or would not.
 
Now, as God has moved me to assume the leadership role at Grace Baptist College, I have the opportunity to ensure that every student has the chance to receive everything I ever wanted for my own teenagers. Since my position has been reversed, I am determining that our college will help students do God’s will by allowing our core staff to passionately invest in each individual as if they were one of our own young people.   That is my commitment to you, if you are a parent or leader of teenagers.
 
My commitment to you, the prospective student is as follows:

1. We will help you transform into the image of Jesus Christ.
2. We will help you develop a deeper relationship with God.
3. We will help create a passion in you to reach the world for Jesus Christ through your specific calling.
4. We will help train you for full-time ministry.
