Thank you to everyone who joined in-person or online for the 2024 Christmas Concert, "Christmas Time." It was a joy for our students, staff, and staff kids to share with you the joy of our Savior coming to earth!
"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." (Galatians 4:4-5)
We were honored to host Governor Jim Justice on campus yesterday as he presented us with a generous West Virginia State Grant that can be used for various infrastructure projects. We are excited to utilize some of these funds to finish the project of adding air conditioning to Des Plaines Hall and McCarrell Hall.

We were honored to recognize the 2024 Servant of the Year at Staff Appreciation Chapel this week. The Servant of the Year award is presented by the alumni association to current or former staff members whose testimony in ministry exemplifies the Appalachian Bible College distinctive of servanthood.
The 2024 Servant of the Year is Cheryl Parvin.
Cheryl joined the faculty of ABC in 1998, but was raised on campus as her parents served on ABC's staff. Besides teaching Speech and English, she has been the Drama Team and Puppet Team Director for many years.
Before beginning her service at ABC, Cheryl also served as a faculty member at Pensacola Christian College, Editor and writer for Union Gospel Press, and Secondary Education Instructor at Cross Lanes Christian School.
Cheryl is an alumnus of the College and a faithful servant who pursues excellence in all she does. She has also served in numerous ways outside of ABCâs campus, including involvement in Children's Ministries, Women's Prayer Ministry, Drama Ministries, and serving as a Christian School Board member.
She recently authored and published a Christian fiction book, A Clear Ring of Truth, and faithfully cares for her aging parents.
Cheryl, for your diligent service at ABC for more than 25 years, it is our privilege to honor you as the 2024 âServant of the Year.â
Camp Fair = â
Last week, students were able to engage with camp representatives from all across the United States at our first annual Camp Fair. We're grateful for students (and alumni!) desiring to serve the Lord through the avenue of camp ministry!
From lawn care to food service, from the library to the ABC Coffee Shopâstudents are able to be employed in many areas of campus. We are so thankful for our students who are diligent in the classroom and the workplace.
