We were honored to recognize the 2024 Servant of the Year at Staff Appreciation Chapel this week. The Servant of the Year award is presented by the alumni association to current or former staff members whose testimony in ministry exemplifies the Appalachian Bible College distinctive of servanthood.
The 2024 Servant of the Year is Cheryl Parvin.
Cheryl joined the faculty of ABC in 1998, but was raised on campus as her parents served on ABC's staff. Besides teaching Speech and English, she has been the Drama Team and Puppet Team Director for many years.
Before beginning her service at ABC, Cheryl also served as a faculty member at Pensacola Christian College, Editor and writer for Union Gospel Press, and Secondary Education Instructor at Cross Lanes Christian School.
Cheryl is an alumnus of the College and a faithful servant who pursues excellence in all she does. She has also served in numerous ways outside of ABC’s campus, including involvement in Children's Ministries, Women's Prayer Ministry, Drama Ministries, and serving as a Christian School Board member.
She recently authored and published a Christian fiction book, A Clear Ring of Truth, and faithfully cares for her aging parents.
Cheryl, for your diligent service at ABC for more than 25 years, it is our privilege to honor you as the 2024 “Servant of the Year.”
Camp Fair = ✅
Last week, students were able to engage with camp representatives from all across the United States at our first annual Camp Fair. We're grateful for students (and alumni!) desiring to serve the Lord through the avenue of camp ministry!
From lawn care to food service, from the library to the ABC Coffee Shop—students are able to be employed in many areas of campus. We are so thankful for our students who are diligent in the classroom and the workplace.
Three students, three different study locations! 📚
Which location would be your go-to for studying: outside, the ABC Coffee Shop, or the library?
We are excited to announce the in-person module courses for the Master of Arts in Ministry degree for the 2025 calendar year! In addition to these modular courses, many courses are offered fully online in the traditional semester format. If your next step in ministry is to pursue further education, start your application to begin your MA in Ministry today!
