Grace and peace to each of you.
It is both an honor and a humbling responsibility to stand before you as the newly appointed Chancellor of Mamre Christian Bible College. I do so with gratitude to God, appreciation for the leadership and foundation that has been laid before us, and great expectation for the future of this institution.
Mamre Christian Bible College stands at an important moment in its history. We are entering a season of growth, transition, and renewed vision. While honoring our spiritual foundation and ministry legacy, we are also embracing the responsibility to strengthen our structure, expand our reach, and prepare the next generation of leaders for both ministry and community impact.
"Let all things be done decently and in order."
— 1 Corinthians 14:40
This guiding principle has become central to the work now taking place within MCBC.
Over the past year, significant steps have been taken to strengthen the College's operational and academic infrastructure. MCBC has continued expanding its online educational capabilities through its Learning Management System, which has served students since 2014 and is now transitioning toward enhanced student management and reporting systems through Populi integration.
