The Montana Christian College has recently installed Marvin Jones as its eighth president in a ceremony on the school’s campus in Kalispell, Montana, USA.The executive director of the Montana Southern Baptist Convention, Barrett Duke said, “The Christian college sits at the intersection of church and culture. It prepares Christians to work in culture.”While preparing to bestow the presidential medallion upon Jones, Duke said, “The Lord has clearly shown us that this is God’s man for Montana Christian College.”He added, “the hopes, prayers and sacrifices of those who came before us, who had the vision to see that God’s people needed a biblically faithful college to train future generations.”The keynote speaker of the ceremony, Stephen Rummage, the pastor of Quail Springs Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, shared his message from Titus 1:7–9 and noted how “leadership is always stewardship.“Like a servant overseeing the master’s house, he’s not the owner of the house, but he’s been given responsibility for the house “because the master has charged him with it,” Rummage said.“A blameless leader is someone whom others have no reason to accuse of living inconsistently with his faith or his calling [and who] represents the Lord Jesus well,” he said.Regier, the guest speaker also shared how secular culture is growing increasingly antagonistic toward the biblical principles of humility and dependence on God and further reiterated that there is hope in mentoring Christian students.“Montana Christian College exists to instruct and mentor Christian students to shape the church and influence culture by reflecting the character of Christ,” he said. “Now that – that is hope. That is hope.”Founded in 1974, Yellowstone Baptist College, now Montana Christian College was established to train future pastors and church leaders. The College didn’t have a permanent home until 1980 when the current campus grounds were purchased.ALSO READ A New President Of Christian Association Of Nigeria (CAN) Emerges
