Columbia Baptist Church holds Campbellsville University Day By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University The Rev. Ted Taylor, transitional pastor at Columbia Baptist Church, introduced Campbellsville University Day at the CBC Sunday, November 14, 2010. It was a day for celebrating the growth of the church, the CU alumni who attend the church and trustees who have served at CU, Hunter Durham and Mary Frances May. The Rev. Wilburn Bonta, Russell Creek Baptist Association director of missions, presented a certificate of recognition to the Columbia Baptist Church for "a year of record financial giving (including missions support), worship attendance, and number of baptisms, for the year of 2009-2010." Guest speaker, CU President Michael V. Carter, congratulated the CBC on a tremendous year, adding that the church has supplied Campbellsville Junior College, College and now Campbellsville University with strong leaders like Hunter Durham and, for the last two decades, Mary Frances May who currently serves on the Board of Trustees. Carter acknowledged May for her special service "on some hard assignments" along the way. He said, "Her most recent service has been as part of the Buildings and Grounds committee and all you have to do to see part of her work is look at the beautiful touches on our campus." He called members of his Administrative Council in attendance and Taylor to join him in presenting May with the Campbellsville University Leadership Medallion "to express their deep appreciation for her leadership at CU." It was also a day to celebrate unity as the CBC supported both Campbellsville University and Lindsey Wilson College freshmen collecting gift boxes to donate to Operation Christmas Child. The church paid over $7,000 in postage to ship all boxes from both schools. After the morning services an alumni luncheon was hosted at the home of Dr. Anthony Grant and his wife Keena Jo Phipps Grant who graduated from CU in 1997. The Rev. John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president, spoke of his many ties to Columbia Baptist Church, the first Baptist church he ever attended while a student at Lindsey Wilson College. He thanked the CBC for being a church closely linked to CU through the past 104 years. He shared an overview of CU today which included:
Regional sites include Louisville, where there are nearly 300 students, Somerset with nearly 100 students, Hodgenville, Elizabethtown and teaching sites in Bowling Green, Pineville and Northern Kentucky. Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with over 3,000 students offering 63 undergraduate programs, 17 master's degrees and five postgraduate areas.
