We celebrate the life of CCU graphic designer and friend Trevor Stolebarger. This past week Trevor went home to be with the Lord after a long battle with cancer. Trevor was responsible for many of the graphics you have seen from CCU over the past 6 years. We will miss him dearly!
Below are some of the most memorable graphics Trevor created for CCU!

Whether you are pursuing a Biblical Certificate, Bachelor or Master of Arts in Biblical Studies, or Master of Divinity, we have a new resource worth a gander – E.C. Bragg Digital Library. Part of the college experience is developing a love for lifelong learning, and who better to learn from than a veteran professor of Theology – Dr. Ervene C. Bragg.
The E.C. Bragg Digital Library at Trinity College of Florida consists of an online digital collection of the lectures, notes and writings of Dr. E.C. Bragg. This online library allows researchers access to re-mastered audio lectures on a variety of theological topics including Systematic Theology, Pauline Theology, Prophecy, Christian Apologetics, History of Missions, Christian Psychology, Hermeneutics, Harmony of the Gospels, and Comparative Religions. The E.C. Bragg Digital Library also features Dr. Bragg’s full-length text, Pauline Theology book, which takes a deep dive into the biblical teachings of the Apostle Paul.
Dr. Bragg taught at Trinity for 55 plus years and was the only professor to teach on all five campuses of the school. People have recognized him as the longest standing professor of theology anywhere in the United States and he estimated that he taught around 23,000 students. Dr. Bragg also served as Vice-President of Trinity College and was on the Board of Trustees from 1949 until his death.

James Travis
Senior Pastor, Saar Fellowship
Bahrain
Graduating Class of 2019
My name is James Travis and I pastor an international church in the Kingdom of Bahrain1. I have been studying with CCU for four years now, and am eight weeks away from submitting my last piece of work in the M.Div. program.CCU has been, and continues to be, a huge blessing for me as I have walked the path from pastoral intern to senior pastor, and God has consistently used the classes I have taken to impact my ministry life, and personal life too.The ordering of classes has been something so providential that it could not have been planned. Early on I took lots of Biblical Leadership classes, and these helped tremendously as a pastoral intern when dealing with people and all that comes with our fallen human condition. Someone once told me that people are the best and worst part of the ministry, but having taken Biblical Leadership classes I was better prepared to deal with that!As I began to serve as assistant pastor, God ordered my study to focus on the -ologies; Theology, Christology, Pneumatology, Ecclesiology, and Eschatology. Becoming more pastoral and didactic in my role at church came with the need to truly understand what I was expositing and teaching to those God had put under my care, and the classes I took could not have prepared me any better, both practically and academically.As I then transitioned into the senior pastor role, my classes covered topics like Church History, multiple Counseling areas, and two classes of Greek. These again came at the time I really needed them. On the one hand my exegetical study was going deeper each week and the need to understand the original languages became more evident, and at the same time I was spending more time with people in both formal and informal counseling situations. The Divine timing of taking classes was just incredible and truly shows what a personal interest our awesome God takes in our individual lives.CCU has been a faithful friend with whom I have walked the last four years during my transition from pastoral intern to senior pastor. I have been challenged, convicted, and comforted exactly when those things were needed, and there is no doubt in my mind that God works through CCU, its staff, its students, and the classes that are offered here.
By Codie Winslow, CCU Director of Library And Learning Resources
With all the time you spend online, there are times when it feels good to have a hard copy resource in your hands. Flipping through the pages of an anthology or pouring over the words of a great article in actual print can scratch an itch, that desire to do it the good ol’ fashioned way. Too bad no more card catalogues, right? Or is that just me.
The process of learning something new amongst the hallowed stacks of a physical library is a lost art, but it doesn’t have to be.
Through Calvary Chapel University’s membership with the Association of Christian Librarians (ACL), a professional community that creates and promotes quality materials and projects for the benefit of libraries, CCU students and faculty have access to the Reciprocal Borrowing Program.
Reciprocal borrowing is a voluntary program whereby ACL member institutions choosing to participate extend in-person borrowing privileges to authorized patrons from other ACL institutions. Patrons, including faculty, students, and staff, have reciprocal access to the physical collections of participating Christian institutions.
Pinch me! Ok…I may be a bonafide, lifelong-learning nerd. And, I hope you are too. Here’s how to take advantage of this benefit:
