Mrs. abcaines and I attended the Campus Church at PCC last night.

HUGE difference from what I remember... Not only in the facilities but the whole atmosphere. Almost NO ONE was wearing a tie! I think Mrs. Caines was the only lady wearing slacks but then, I don't think she really stood out.

We were greeted by one of the staff pastors and he engaged us warmly. I told him what we were up to and how we had our Goldwing with us (parked at the campground). He said that Pastor Redlin rides a Goldwing! 🤯😎 I saw him sitting not far away so I went to talk to him. Very warm conversation... His Goldwing is very similar to mine. 😎

The sermon was about battling depression. I was blown away. A very different approach to the subject than one would expect from an IFB church. Not a bad approach. The speaker was careful to differentiate between clinical depression and setting up one's self for depression as he taught Elijah did in 1 Kings 19.

PCC is definitely moving towards a more community oriented approach to ministry. They are holding an event to support the local Ronald McDonald House, of all things, soon.

Overall, it was a very positive experience and I'm glad we went.
 
I did not know that PCC was a Baptist college or that the church (which is controlled by the college) was IFB.

My understanding has always been that PCC is basically a Baptist institution though they never used the name Baptist. A lot of their support comes from Baptists and they teach Baptist doctrine.

Arlin Horton, who is still alive, is a central figure in everything PCC related. The Campus Church is located on the PCC campus. When we pulled up, a security guard inquired where we were going and as soon as I said Campus Church, she allowed me to enter the campus.

When I refer to PCC as IFB, I am referring to the church, the college and the Christian school all under the same doctrinal/philosophical umbrella. Their beliefs are Baptist, fundamental and they aren't not part of any denominational board.

In past iterations of the FFF, the status of the Campus Church's designation as a legitimate local church has been debated.
