The professors aren&#8217;t just academics, they have real-time local church ministry experience. Pastor Al Franklin was my homiletics professor. He spoke with decades of preaching experience at Grace Baptist Church in Redding. He also encouraged us and gave us opportunity to practice our new skills. In a small classroom setting I felt confident and encouraged by my fellow students to pursue a preaching ministry even though I had never thought that was part of my gifting before.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9100\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9100\" data-attachment-id=\"9100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/a-word-about-shasta-bible-college\/dsc02595\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-6000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1517352952&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC02595\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-9100 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-1073x715.jpg 1073w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-483x322.jpg 483w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC02595-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We enjoyed fellowship with professors, students, and alumni.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>SBC is clearly dedicated to raising up a new generation of young men and women who are committed to a strong foundation in God&#8217;s Word and have a heart to serve God&#8217;s people.
