deepens the knowledge and skills of professional educators. Baptist
Bible Seminary equips pastors, missionaries, and educators for Bible teaching
churches and ministries all over the world. Each course of study at BBS is designed
to provide excellence in academic scholarship, to ignite a passion for God and
people, and to teach effective ministry methods for service. HistoryBaptist
Bible College was founded in 1932 in Johnson City, New York. For its first thirty-six
years, the College used the facilities of First Baptist Church in Johnson City.
As the student body grew from the first enrollment of forty students, the College
gradually purchased and built some buildings of its own. In the 1960s, the need
for a new campus became evident. In 1968, Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton
assisted in locating the Clarks Summit campus for the school. Classes began in
the Seminary in 1972 and in the Graduate School in 1989. |
Testimonials"Those
of us at Baptist Bible College have deeply appreciated CPM Solutions involvement
in reviewing our operational process. We realized that many of our systems and
policies, once effective for a smaller ministry, were no longer appropriate as
our organization had grown in size and complexity. Roger identified several key
areas for improvement, mobilized our administrative team in making needed changes,
and left us with tools to measure future performance. Most importantly, he was
a change agent while affirming our unique organizational culture. BBC is a better
organization as a result of his involvement." Hal Cross Chief Financial
Officer“Roger Jeter was of significant assistance to the ministry
of Baptist Bible College and Seminary through an operational audit of our entire
operation. Our personnel found the team led by Roger to be easy to work with and
helpful. The report was returned to us in a very timely way in a clear overview
and detailed suggestions for improvement. Our Administrative team carefully reviewed
and considered all of the recommendations, determined which ones were appropriate
for us at this time and made changes in our operations. The results of this process
led to greater efficiency, better stewardship of human resources, finances and
facilities, and resources available to advance the mission of the school.” Dr.
James E. Jeffery President"Mr. Jeter's unique combination of gifts,
skills, experience and sacrificial commitment to fulfill the Great Commission
resulted in a volume of accurate recommendations to improve alignment and close
gaps in finances, people and processes. He was professional, gracious and godly
in all of his interactions with employees and demonstrated a sensitivity to our
mission and organizational history and culture. His insightful recommendations
have resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings and improved efficiencies
and effectiveness with relatively little pain. God has blessed us through our
relationship with Mr. Jeter and we value his friendship and look forward to his
future involvement with our ministry." Denis P. Tocci, Ph.D. Vice
