2021-2022 - Shasta Bible College and Graduate School6A WORD . . .FROM PRESIDENT DAVID R. NICHOLASSince 1971, Shasta Bible College and Graduate School has been educatingand equipping Christian servant-leaders to impact the world for Christ.While some have come to prepare for life, others have come to preparefor ministry. But the vast majority of SBC&GS alumni will testify to thefellowship they enjoyed, the lasting friendships they have establishedwith fellow-students and the personal care and concern extended tothem by their professors and administrators. SBC&GS is unique on today’s higher educationalscene in that we believe true education involves more than the assimilation of facts and theaccumulation of knowledge. It must prepare students for living, not only in the affective andcognitive domains of learning, but also in the spiritual and practical dimensions of life. Why?Because the Scriptures were given, not just to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives to paraphrase pastor/evangelist, Dwight L. Moody.You see, at Shasta Bible College and Graduate School, we are committed to helping eachstudent realize his/her maximum potential to become dedicated representatives of our Lordand Savior, Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul puts it this way in 2 Corinthians 5:20-21:Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: Weimplore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sinto be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (NKJV)As we begin the 2019-20 academic year, both our nation and the world are in ideological andreligious turmoil. Isaiah the prophet’s words of warning to Israel: “Woe unto those who call evilgood and good evil; who substitute light for darkness Woe to those who are wise in their owneyes, and clever in their own sight” (Isaiah 5:20-21), are increasingly relevant to our time. Theconsequences of leaving behind the Biblical and spiritual dimensions education are sadlyevident in many of our nation’s secular institutions. Many were founded on Scriptural principlesand for the original purpose of heralding God’s truth, but now have sacrificed critical thinkingon the altar of liberal/socialistic indoctrination, free speech on the altar of violent intoleranceand Biblical absolutes on the altar of hedonism.Thankfully, God has preserved Shasta Bible College and Graduate School over the past forty-fiveyears to be an oasis of truth, sanity and common sense for such a time as this. Why? Becausewe take Biblical precepts seriously and subscribe to the inspired words of King Solomon: “Thefear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy one is insight.” Tothis precept the Psalmist adds: “all those who practice it have good understanding, His praiseendures forever” (Prov. 9:10, Ps. 111:10 ESV).If you’re looking for a Christ-centered, Biblically based institution of higher education wherepolitical correctness does not rule, safe spaces are not needed, critical thinking is encouragedand common sense is respected, check us out! Our mission is: “To educate and equip Biblicallycommitted Christians who will impact the world for Jesus Christ.” May God bless and guide youas you seek His direction for your future.

2021-2022 - Shasta Bible College and Graduate School7CHANCELLOR’S CHALLENGE:We live in a day and age when little consideration is given to the practical aspects of Biblicalcommunication. Because of the many fine Bible expositors who minister daily or weekly overradio, television, and in growing Bible-believing local churches across the country, people canknow a great deal about the Bible without ever really making Biblical precepts a practical partof their lives. What we need today are Spirit-controlled students dedicated not only to talkingthe walk, but also to walking the talk! Only then will we prepare future servants of Christ whowill finish well!As Chancellor, it is my desire to see young men and women taught not only the truths of God’sWord, but how to implement those truths in their lives and ministries so that people will seeChrist living in and through them.Shasta Bible College and Graduate School is committed to helping students grow in theirknowledge of the Scriptures. But we are equally dedicated to their personal spiritual growthand the cultivation of their desire to love and serve the Savior, who came to earth as Godincarnate, setting for us an example of how to be a servant on behalf of the Father.If God should be speaking to you about attending a Bible College more interested in helpingmen and women become outstanding vessels for our Lord’s service than in numbers or thedevelopment of a name, then you must prayerfully consider SBC&GS. I trust that it might be myprivilege someday to see you here as a student.Royal D. Blue, B.A., D.D.
