[August 29, 2007]
Once again the campus of Lincoln Christian
College and Seminary is full of students settling into dorm rooms,
going to classes and readjusting to life at college. With this class
of students, LCCS enters its 63rd year of nurturing and equipping
Christians with a biblical worldview to serve and lead in the church
and the world.

Though the students were gone for the summer, much has happened on
campus in preparation for their return. With a generous donation
from the estate of Jessie C. Eury, the
library is being
renovated to accommodate the growing student body. Upon completion
of the project, patrons will enjoy an open floor plan on the first
floor, complete with new furniture, stacks and Internet access.

Alongside of the renovation of the library, Timothy Hall, the
first building on campus, is entering into a new chapter in its role
on campus. Last year Timothy Hall was recommissioned as the Timothy
Center for Global Ministry. As a first phase of the recommissioning,
Timothy has returned to its roots as an office and classroom
building. Currently several professors as well as the Doctor of
Ministry classroom are housed in the north end of the building.

Of course, the most notable change on campus has been the
completion of the new women's dormitory,
Ruth Hall.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new women's dormitory is set for
Sept. 4 at 9:30 a.m.
Lincoln has not only added to the physical campus, but has also
called several new faculty members to help LCCS with her mission.
Steve Cone, L.C. Sutton and Jolene Smaage joined the college
faculty, and Nealy Brown joined the seminary faculty.
This semester 150 new undergraduate students join the campus family
in their preparation for ministry. Currently, over 1,000 students
call Lincoln Christian College and Seminary their academic home.
