BHBC Opening of Classes for SY 2025-2026 Graciously Prospered God be praised and exalted for the great things He is doing and has been accomplishing through and for the Baptist Heritage Bible College (BHBC), an educational ministry of the Christian Bible Baptist Church since 1986. For the first semester of School Year 2025-2026, BHBC had its opening week on June 30 to July 2, 2025 with a total of ___ registered students. ______ are new students enrolled for the Graduate in Theology Course, while ____ are new students for the Certificate in Bible Education. Among the _______ online students, ______ all over the Philippines are joining classes through the google meet; and ____ are learning through FB livestreaming replay. The orientation was presided by Preacher Jess Sibug, the Dean of Student Affairs. He presented the rules and regulations that students must comply to while studying in our blessed Bible College. On June 30, 2025, Preacher Pops Villarosa exhorted the students to “Take Heed of Yourselves” with 1 Timothy 4:16 proclaiming “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” He encouraged everyone to be nourished with the Word of God, to exercise godliness; and to be involved in the ministry with God-given gift. For the Chapel Hour on July 1, 2025, Dr. Ed M. Laurena spoke about the “Value of Labor” and he emphasized on what the Bible teaches about labour through Ecclesiastes 2:22, “For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?” Accordingly, labour makes a Christian obedient to God, makes a believer sleep good at night, and makes life profitable. God’s work continues to flourish being evident through the growth of the students. May this year fill them with “good success” as they abide in the Word of God (Joshua 1:8), and while they do their best to “enter to learn, go forth to serve” by the grace of God, through His power, and for His glory.
