Good morning, FBC Community.

Baccalaureate Service is being held to spare a time of reflection

and to magnify Jesus Christ the author and finisher of the faith on which our dear college
continues to stand firm upon. This goes beyond the pomp and jubilation, for this is the moment, to
lift up our hands in praises to the only wise God.

Now, let us welcome the graduating class of 2023 for their processional.

Scripture Reading
Philippians 3:12-16
Thank you for your beautiful voices. As we continue, let us listen to the Word of God. The
scripture is taken from Philippians 3:12-16.
 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow
after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ
Jesus.
 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before,
 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye
be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule,
let us mind the same thing.
