The Inauguration Celebration for President Delbert Scott was a huge success as KCCBS supporters, alumni, and friends gathered for this momentous occasion.  The day began with a breakfast honoring the KCCBS faculty and staff.  It was also a time in which the faculty showed their appreciation to President Scott by presenting him with a gift and unveiling his newly framed picture that will now hang in the Library on the "Presidents Wall."  The second event of the day featured an appreciation luncheon for ministry leaders.  At the lunch ministry leaders were challenged to join KCCBS in reaching a generation that is desperately in need of biblical education and spiritual formation.  The leaders were reminded that KCCBS wants to play a vital role in helping churches reach this generation.

 

The Inauguration Ceremony was well attended with over 300 in attendance to celebrate the installation of Delbert Scott as the eleventh president of KCCBS.  Nearly all of the former presidents were either in attendance or represented by family in attendance.  Special music was provided by individuals representing various groups of people who are vital to the success of Kansas City College and Bible School.  President Scott shared his vision in his inaugural address and was shown a sign of support by a standing ovation following the address.

 

The events of the day culminated with the Inauguration Dinner at the Embassy Suites on the Plaza.  With 185 people in attendance, it was fantastic way to finish the celebration.  Each participant enjoyed a delicious dinner, was entertained by gospel music, and was challenged by President Scott to faithfully support KCCBS in the days ahead.
