Alumni Homecoming Week

October 14-17, 2024

Alumni Homecoming Week is among one of the favorite weeks of the semester for many students and staff, as well as the alumni who come back to campus. It is designed to provide fellowship among former students, interaction with current students, and a good dose of challenging preaching that will both encourage and help everyone who attends.

If you were a student at Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College (1967-1998) or Heartland Baptist Bible College (1998-present), or if you would just like to get to know some current or former students, this is a great week to visit campus.
