It’s hard to believe that with Wednesday morning’s commencement exercises, West Coast Baptist College will complete its fifteenth year of training laborers for the harvest. What a joy it is to have a part in the ministry of alumni serving around the world. And, although graduation is always bitter-sweet, we are thankful for the students who will receive their diplomas on Wednesday and join the ranks of WCBC alumni in ministry.
Graduation week includes many events that are a blessing to students, family, and friends. This year, we will be able to livestream all of these main events at wcbc.edu. (All times listed are Pacific Time.)

Please pray for our graduating students as they labor in the needy harvest fields of this world. Pray they will stand firm on God’s truth against the onslaught of sin. Pray they will retain biblical convictions in the midst of corroding compromise. Pray most of all that they will maintain a close daily walk with the Lord and will minister to others in the power of His Spirit.
