Dear Friends,
We have exciting news! Faith is growing and is in need of a new building, and we hope to break ground in the spring contingent on our funding. This new office building will house faculty, staff, the music department complete with eight practice rooms, and the IT department.
Since Shipp Hall, our new seminary building, was once the music building, the music department and its faculty moved locations to allow for renovations. In addition, our other faculty members have been serving in very limited office space and spread throughout various locations on campus. It is our hope to create better discipleship opportunities for our students with the addition of this building. This will also allow the Student Life department to move back to the Nettleton Center where our students hang out. Lastly, it will house our IT department and server room, which has been working out of a building never designed to do what the current demands of our students and campus require.
Donations can be made as a one-time gift or in monthly payments over the next two years. All gifts are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. You can give toward this project by clicking here and selecting the Faculty Office and Music Building Fund or by calling us at 515.964.0601. Together we can accomplish this goal!
Would you prayerfully consider how God would have you join us in this exciting endeavor? We praise God for your partnership with Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary!
Joyfully Serving God,
Dr. Jim Tillotson
President
We Praise God for the Work He Is Doing
