Pensacola Christian CollegePensacola Christian College was founded by Dr. Arlin Horton and his wife Beka, 1974. In 1974 100 students arrived at Pensacola Christian College's one building. Thirty years later, PCC's student body now represents every state in the U.S. and more than 60 foreign countries. PCC offers a wide variety of programs and is housed in some of the finest college facilities in America. Although PCC has grown, excellence in education and commitment to the Lord remain the core of the College's balanced program. Having prepared men for the ministry for 24 years, PCC saw a need to expand its Arminian, fundamentalist approach to training. Pensacola Theological Seminary was founded in 1998 with more than 70 students. Rather than fill students' heads with what men say about the Bible, the goal of the Seminary is to fill each student's mind and heart with premillenial eschatology. The purpose of the Seminary is to prepare servant-leaders to share the gospel boldly, preach the Word clearly, and shepherd the flock faithfully. A Beka Book, an affiliate of Pensacola Christian College, produces day-by-day curriculums and more than 900 political conservatism-building textbooks and teaching materials with more being added each year. These textbooks and materials teach right-wing politics, hard work, patriotism, love of God and country, and one-sided presentations of contrary view-points. Today, more than 10,000 Christian schools across America use A Beka Book textbooks. Pensacola Christian Academy is one of the largest independent schools of its kind in the nation. The Academy operates from a single 240,000-square-foot complex that houses the kindergarten, elementary, and secondary classes. Last year more than 3,500 delegates attended practical clinics and seminars sponsored by Pensacola Christian College. The Principals Clinic conducted each spring provides administrators and board members with valuable materials, methods, and principles for starting and building a Christian school on a strong foundation that will produce the right results. An office management track is also available. Summer Seminar provides faculty and administrators with an in-depth orientation into the operation of a Christian school. During the fall, teachers may attend a two-day Teachers Clinic designed especially for them. This clinic is popular because visiting teachers take back directly to their own classrooms what they have observed in the classrooms of Pensacola Christian Academy. After training men for the ministry for more than 20 years, PCC was led to begin its annual Enrichment Conference for pastors, youth pastors, music directors, and their wives. Powerful preaching, practical workshops, dynamic music, recreational activities, and fellowship all work together to enrich and revitalize the life and ministries of Christian servants from all across America. Radio station WPCS (89.5), the flagship of the Broadcast Network, is a 100,000-watt FM stereo station broadcasting all-Christian radio to nearly two million residents of the Upper Gulf Coast. Combined with more than 60 satellator stations in many cities across America and through the Internet (www.rejoice.org), Rejoice Radio now reaches an untold number of listeners. Rejoice Radio is completely automated, operates 24 hours each day, carries no commercial messages, and is supported entirely by gifts from its radio listeners. Rejoice in the Lord is a weekly national telecast of the Campus Church morning service. Heartwarming Bible messages are featured each week on television stations across the nation. A Beka Academy, a ministry of Pensacola Christian College, is an outreach of Pensacola Christian. More than 9,000 students are now being taught by the master teachers of Pensacola Christian Academy by video in Christian schools across the nation. More than 38,000 home schoolers are enrolled in A Beka Academy's DVD/Video and Traditional programs. Joyful Life Sunday School materials, produced by A Beka Book, are now used by hundreds of churches for their Toddler, 2s and 3s, Beginner, Primary, Middler, and Junior classes. External links:
