PCC Celebrates 25 Years

The Hortons ventured in faith tobegin Pensacola Christian GradeSchool in 1954 with 35 students(K–2), which grew to 1,500 studentsby 1967. Current enrollment for fall1998 is 2,474 students (K–12).

In 1974, God led the Hortons to

begin Pensacola Christian College.PCC welcomed a student body of 100;30 were local folk enrolled in anevening Bible course.

PCC’s first building (namedBallard Hall in 1979) housed Collegeoffices, the library, two classrooms, a

large room for chapel, women’sresidence rooms onthird-floorwing, andmen’s resi-dence roomson first-floorwing.

The Cam-pus Church serv-ices were held inthe elementary

cafetorium until March 1975, whenPCC purchased the Brent BaptistChurch building (renamed TheCampus Church and later St. JohnChapel).

The second year, Joel Mullenixbegan serving as dean of students.“We’d have get-togethers in thecafeteria on Sunday evenings, over-night trips to Camp o’ the Pines, andcookouts in Vice President BuzzBaker’s back yard,” he recalls.“Though enrollment has increasedthrough the years, the spirit remainsthe same today. Our students have thesame love for the Lord and the sameopenness to His␣ Word.”

Four collegians were organized toprovide opportunities for studentleadership, service activities, andintramural athletic competitions.

Activities started in the early yearsremain an integral part of PCC lifetoday.

Students participated in weekly Bibleclubs that continue to be Christianservice opportunities. The first men’squartet promoted PCC in 32␣ churchesand Christian schools across five South-eastern states during 1975.

In 1976, a local Christian physician,Dr. George Graf, furnished and equippedthe Health Center off Ballard Lobby toprovide basic medical services to collegestudents and faculty/staff families.

At the first commencement, May1976, Dr. Horton presented bachelor’sdegrees to six seniors (transfer students)and four one-year business certificates.Bill Rice III was given the first honorarydoctorate in May 1977. The first four-year graduating class received bachelor’sdegrees in 1978; of the 33 graduates, 14were from the 1974␣ charter class.

A summer graduate programoffering master’s degrees in educationbegan July 1976. PCC announced anursing program in February 1977.

A residence hall was constructed in

1976 (named Coberly North in 1979),which housed the student center in thelobby, a social hall and a large chapelroom on the second floor, andwomen’s residence rooms in the three-story wing. In 1977, another three-story residence wing (Coberly South)was added, and the chapel roombecame the social hall, as chapelmoved to The Campus Churchbuilding.

In a 1974 interview, Dr. Hortonstated to the Sword of the Lord that“high standards of Christian characterand education will be our central

theme.” In an interview with thePensacola News Journal, Dr.Horton commented, “We don’tintend to be all things to all men,but rather to emphasize thoseacademic areas where we feel wecan provide unsurpassed excel-lence of training. . . . Our goal hasalways been to bring glory to Godby doing right.”

“All activities center on God’sglory,” says Mrs. Horton. “It is Hiswork, not ours. We are merelystewards.”

Throughout the last 25 years,the Hortons have remainedfaithful to the Lord and the ideasHe gave them—ideas not just forprograms and facilities, but forpeople and evangelism. As a result,Pensacola Christian College hasgained a reputation across the

country and aroundthe world for itscommitment toacademic excellenceand its dedication toChristian Service.

Design, purpose, and amazingpatterns are revealed in nature as thehandiwork of our wonderful Lord.Each orange has an even number ofsegments. Each ear of corn has aneven number of rows. Each stalk ofwheat has an even number of grains.Each watermelon has an evennumber of stripes on the rind. Ahorse rises from the ground on itstwo front legs first. A cow rises fromthe ground with its two hind legsfirst. The four legs of an elephant allbend forward in the same direction!Its body is too huge to be raised ontwo legs. It is the only animal whichcan do this.

This Master Craftsman fashions amasterpiece that human hands havenever, and will never, be able toduplicate. He is a skilled engineer,stringing a network of nerves, asystem of communication that makesthe telephone systems in our largestcities seem simple in comparison.He adds muscles and ligaments, eachin the exact size, not too long nor tooshort, planned skillfully to suspend,support, and act as the guy-wires of asuspension bridge. Then a frame-work, architecturally perfect, of limeand other minerals for reinforcementmolding and shaping each bone forthe stress and strain its location callsfor, without any precision instru-ments, without any trial fitting orexperimental tests, He built eachbone perfectly. Of course the systemsfor drainage and irrigation arewondrous: dams, basins with valves,canals and locks, a liquid transporta-tion system more phenomenal thanany Panama Canal or InlandWaterway.

So many spectaculars couldnever be accomplished by ourgreatest engineering minds. Archi-

tectural, electrical, mechanical,hydraulic, and chemical engineers, allmasters by degree of our greatestuniversities, could all be called in toduplicate the human body. In tenthousand years the job would not becompleted.

All the wonders of constructionand yet more! The Creator does notdesert His building upon completion.Day after day he continues toperform its wondrous feats. Howmuch water must you drink toneutralize the salt in your body aftera particularly seasoned meal? Howmany times per minute must yourheart beat while you rest and howmuch faster when you engage inphysical exercise? While wearingapproximately two and a half poundsof clothing in a room that is tempera-ture controlled to 65 degrees, howmuch sugar must your body burn tomaintain 98.6 degrees of tempera-ture? Do not be perturbed in yourarithmetic; even your slide rulecannot give you the answer. For thefact is that no chemist or scientist inthe world is able to know the wholetruth about these questions.

Of course, the marvel of marvelsis His way in providing redemption.Those who oppose the truth of thetrue Gospel say that it is morallywrong to force the innocent to sufferfor the guilty. Well, I guess that iscorrect. But the glorious thing aboutthe Gospel is that the innocent is notforced to suffer for the guilty. OurLord volunteered to suffer for theguilty. Amen and amen! At CalvaryHe freely paid the penalty for allsinners. He made us, bought us,keeps us, and is soon coming to takeus to be with Him forever. Praise HisWonderful Name! How marvelousare His ways!

From the President

THE VISION CONTINUES

Pensacola Christian College teaches that Godgave the words of Scripture by inspirationwithout error in the original autographs. Godpromises that He will preserve His Word; Jesussaid, “But my words shall not pass away”(Matt.␣ 24:35). We believe God has kept thatpromise by preserving His infallible Word inthe traditional Hebrew and Greek manuscriptsand that the Authorized Version (KJV) is thebest translation of the preserved Word of Godin the English language. We hold it withconfidence believing that it accurately reflectsthe inspired and infallible words of the Hebrewand Greek.

The issue of God’s Word is important forindividuals to understand as well as institu-tions and churches. If you would like to knowmore about current issues regarding the Wordof God, see the information below.

Arlin HortonPresident/Founder

This begins our␣ 25thyear of PensacolaChristian College; theyears have gone byquickly, and God hasblessed in a remarkableway, far more than wecould have dreamedHe would. We give

Him all the glory and praise. He has givenPCC an increase in enrollment each year; this25th year has a good increase.

Unfortunately, belief in a fully preserved Bibleis waning in many institutions. The shift issubtle but certain. I received the followingletter from a pastor which reflects this trend:

“We wanted to write a short letterthanking you for standing for the Wordof God. Your college has been a greathelp to this church over the yearsthrough the training of the young peoplethat we have sent to Pensacola ChristianCollege. We greatly appreciate yourministry and your willingness to standfor what the Bible teaches, not what othermen teach. We believe one of thegreatest battles in Christianity today isover the Word of God. Today we have agreat weakening of Fundamentalismthrough the watering down of theScriptures. Some institutions . . . still saythey believe in the Word of God, but theyare not sure which Bible is the pureWord. We are thankful that you have leftno doubt in your stand on the Bible.”

This letter sums up one of the reasons PCCexists: to assist local churches in training theiryoung people. Central to that purpose is thecommitment to a preserved Bible, which wecan hold in our hands and use confidently inthe work of the ministry.

Oh, yes, we have our critics, just as Nehemiahhad when he was busy doing the Lord’s work,but we have been thrilled with the overwhelm-ing response we have received from across thecountry indicating support for PCC’s positionon the doctrine of Biblical preservation.

All new facilitiesNestled among the pines,

a highlight of the ongoing vision

G At the Camp o’ the Pines dedication ceremony,Dr. Horton recognized architects, constructionsuperintendent/managers, and others.

In 1953, Arlin and Beka Hortontook 60 campers (ages 9–14) torustic Mt. Calvary Camp, 26 milesnorth of Pensacola, where thecampers enjoyed three days ofrecreation and Bible preaching fromwell-known evangelists. God blessedthose old-fashioned camp meetingsas souls were saved, Christiansstrengthened, and backsliders cameback to the Lord. Each summer morecampers went and new buildingswere added to accommodate theincrease.

When the artesian-fed swimmingpool was no longer usable and Mt.Calvary Camp could not afford a new

pool, they turned the propertyover to Pensacola ChristianSchool. In the 1960s, the namewas changed to “Camp o’ thePines”; it had a new pool, aWestern look, additionalbuildings, and improvements; and30 adjacent acres were acquired.

By the 1990s, extensiverenovations were needed. Planswere drawn up for an all-newcamp, and construction began in1997 and finished in time for the1998 camping season.

A brief dedication ceremonytook place July 11, 1998, in the

Chapel o’ the Pines, and an Open Housefollowed. The ceremony opened withguests singing “Tell Me the Stories ofJesus,” underscoring the chapel’spurpose. Dr. Horton introduced thearchitects, construction superintendent/managers, and others involved incompleting the new camp. Mrs. Hortonshared highlights from the camp’shistory. Dr. Joel Mullenix prayed thededicatory prayer, and Mark andBethany Crawford sang “Bless ThisCamp,” adapted from “Bless This House.”

Many PCC graduates havefinished law school and are nowpracticing law. Meeting with clients,giving direction to support staff,researching case law, and address-ing judges and juries in court isall part of their profession.

“The education you receive atPCC is second to none,” says ScottMatney (PCC ’93), who gradu-ated from the University ofConnecticut School of Law in1996 and is now an associate inthe law offices of Ralph S. KeenIII in Farmington, CT. “Thethings you learn at PCC as astudent prepare you for whatyou’ll face as an attorney. PCC’sprelaw program is excellent prepara-tion for a future career in law.”

Douglas Watson (PCC ’94)graduated from Dickinson School ofLaw at Pennsylvania State Universityin 1997. He is living in Mercer, PA,with his wife, Lisa (Black ’96); he is anassociate at the law firm of Lewis andRistvey. “PCC’s strong emphasis onwriting was extremely helpful to me inlaw school and in my career now,” hestates. “In addition, PCC’s govern-ment and political science coursesfocused on theory and thoughtprocesses rather than just givinganswers. That has been a tremendoushelp in situations where the answersaren’t always clear.”

“In law school and the practice oflaw, your ability to put your knowl-

edge into spoken or writtenform is essential,” points outNathan Prater (PCC ’91).Nathan graduated fromSamford University’sCumberland School of Lawin␣ 1996 and is now anassociate with the law officesof Joseph Carpenter in

Montgomery, AL. “If you can’tcommunicate, all the knowledge inthe world does you no good. PCCprovides you with a solid foundationof writing and speaking skills.”

April Wood (PCC ’94) graduatedfrom Regent University School of Lawin May 1997 and recently opened herown law office in Thomasville, NC.“My teachers at PCC were so ap-proachable! Their experiences in lawschool and as lawyers themselveshelped me know what to expect in lawschool. They really wantedto see their studentssucceed. I was neverintimidated by them, andthey always took time toanswer any question I had.”PCC’s prelaw program is uniquebecause of its Christian faculty andChrist-centered perspective. Inaddition to her teachers, April credits

Dr. Joseph Rammel, PCC’s vicepresident for institutional relations,works closely with PCC graduateswho pursue higher degrees. “When aPCC graduate applies to law school, astrong academic record and highadmission test scores greatly influencehis chances for acceptance,” he says.“In the practice of law, the characterand integrity gained throughan␣ education at PCC is often morevaluable than the classroom knowl-edge.”

Christians who practice law have aunique opportunity to participate inthe legal systems that govern our lives.A Christian lawyer’s compassion andclear thinking can help peoplethrough difficult and uncertain times.PCC’s prelaw program provides asolid foundation for students pursu-ing law careers.

Jim Hazewinkel joinedPCC’s physical education facultyin the fall of 1991. At that timePCC had no wrestling team, butCoach Hazewinkel immediatelywent to work recruiting studentsand built a wrestling team fromthe ground up.

The team’s record speakswell of his efforts. In just sevenyears, Eagles wrestlers haveparticipated in the NCCAAnational championship everyyear, winning it fourtimes. Jim Haze-winkel has beenhonored as nationalCoach of the Year fivetimes.

“Recruiting hasbeen one of mybiggest challenges,”he admits. “We wantto get our programknown across thenation so we canattract the bestChristian wrestlers.

“I believe theLord has called me toteach and coach,” saysHazewinkel. “It is aministry, and I love

working with young men whowant to wrestle for the honorand glory of the Lord.”

In spite of his outstandingprofessional accomplishments(see box below), Coach Haze-winkel prefers to focus on thefuture rather than the past.Each wrestling competitionprovides great opportunities forhim and his wrestlers to learn,improve, and witness. Hisgreatest satisfaction, he says,

Jake Baum (Fla.) joins other PCCstudents to play basketball withyoung people from a local neighbor-hood each week. After the game, theyshare a brief devotional message. Heemphasizes the importance of beingfaithful to God’s call. “I’m using myGod-given abilities to build relation-ships with these kids,” he states. “Ihope God will use my efforts now toinfluence their lives in the future.”

PCC students who participate inChristian service activities also gainpractical experience organizing

programs, workingwith people, takinginitiative, andfollowing up afterevents. “ChristianService is a␣ vitalpart of your collegeexperience,” saysMr. PeterHarrington,assistant dean ofmen. “Learning torelate to otherpeople helps prepare you for futureministry.” Mr. Harrington’s hands-onChristian service experience in Bibleclubs and a local church helpedprepare him for the responsibility ofoverseeing the Christian serviceprogram at PCC.

Participating in Christian Servicegives students opportunities topractice what they’re learning in classand in church. Those involved inChristian Service know that they areplanting seeds in the hearts and livesof people—seeds that may somedaybe part of God’s great spiritualharvest.

Summer Seminar2,000 delegates

at PCC

Looking Back on

Almost 500 high school students from around the country attended

summer basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and cheerleading camps.

The 3-week Music Academy attracted 160 musicians, and the

Speech/Drama Camp drew 65 young performers.

Camp o’ the Pines hosted 520 campers (ages 8 to 12) during

2 weeks of overnight camp. The Sports Center Day Camp averaged

255 campers for 11 weeks. We are thankful that the Lord used these

camps to reach many unsaved children for Christ.

More than 220 students took graduate courses leading to doctoral

or master’s degrees in Bible, sacred music, and education (administra-

tion, elementary, secondary, English, history, mathematics, music, and

speech) during a 7-week period.

In August, PCC hosted its annual Summer Seminar for Christian

school educators. A record-setting 2,000 delegates from many states

and several foreign countries attended.

Summer activities make the campus almost as busy as the school

year. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to influence the lives of

so many people.

When college students leave for the summer, our campus stays

busy with camps, graduate school, and Summer Seminar.
