This year we will continue to serve your leadership team by providing some of the most exciting speakers you’ve ever experienced as well as interactive workshops that will enhance your leadership development. As a guest you will be provided with six meals and overnight accommodations with our own student leaders. You’ll also get the chance to attend some of our renowned college classes and experience the vibrant social scene and college life of BBC.
Whether you’re a student, an advisor, or a youth leader, God wants to use you to have an impact on the world around you. Please join us November 6-8 for an incredible leadership experience you’ll never forget—BBC’s Growing Leaders 2008! Advisors & Youth Leaders
We would like to encourage you to take that step by waiving your registration fee when you bring a group of five or more students.

BBC’s Growing Leaders will provide you with resources and training needed to help you identify and develop your leadership abilities. God has given you amazing potential; we want to help you shape that potential and apply it in a way that is consistent with your world and God’s incredible purpose for your life.
This conference will help to:
• IGNITE YOUR IMAGINATION! You will begin to see and realize the awesome power of God and His plan for you. As you do this, you will begin to imagine like God has imagined.
• INSPIRE YOUR COMMITMENT! God is going to do extraordinary things with or without you. He wants to use you, but you must be willing to step up to the challenge.
• STIMULATE YOUR CHARACTER! As you see like God sees and choose to be a part of His vision, you will desire to become more like Christ and to grow into the man or woman that God would have you to be.
• ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS! As you utilize your imagination, commit yourself, and solidify your character, you will begin to understand how your skills, talents, and abilities fit into God’s ultimate plan.
• AMPLIFY YOUR EFFECT! You will return home knowing where and how you can plug in your newly sharpened leadership abilities. By taking that first step, following Christ, and applying yourself, you can have an explosive influence that impacts your world. Cost & Registration

There are many reasons why people do not step up and embrace their full leadership potential: fear, apathy, disillusionment from past failures, an unwillingness to take risks, a lack of confidence in themselves and their God-given abilities, and even a lack of understanding in who they are and where they fit into God’s ultimate plan. Whatever the reason, the results are the same—the number of leaders in our churches and schools is dwindling.
You have a choice to make—a chance to change today what tomorrow will be. But you must set aside your fear, crush your apathy, risk it all, look to God, and take that first step. Are you ready? Maybe the bigger question is, “Are you willing?”

BBC’s Growing Leaders is an intense three-day conference designed to assist students in identifying and developing their gifts, talents, skills, and leadership abilities. High school students and their advisors will be both challenged and motivated to impact their fellow students and their schools for Jesus Christ. 
As a student leadership advisor you are an intricate part of the development process that God has planned for each of your students. We believe that your presence and involvement in this process is both invigorating and necessary; that’s why we are inviting you to come with your students and experience the conference and all it has to offer. Your personal knowledge of each student in your team will allow you to customize the conference to your group and to your individual members. During the conference, you will have the chance to facilitate group discussions as well as evaluate both individual and team growth.This is an incredible opportunity for you to lead your team and take the first step. 
At Baptist Bible College we are committed to giving our students an excellent biblical education and training them to be effective as ministry leaders. These leaders can be found across our nation as well as around the world, serving God with the gifts and abilities that He has blessed them with.
