The Fresno Pacific University Center for Community Transformation (CCT) will build on hope in Fresno and beyond. The CCT is a new effort to connect the strengths of the university with the resources of the region to transform cities.

Looking into the heart of the city, some observers see statistics: high rates of poverty, crime, drug use, gang activity and violence; low levels of income, education and employment.

MB Biblical Seminary’s Fresno Campus will offer courses on terrorism and disaster as well as Christian community development during the week of October 8-12.

Eye of the Storm, taught October 8-11 by Col. Les Hyder, DMin, and MB Biblical Seminary faculty member David Bruce Rose, PhD, examines the theological and psychological factors involved in our response to terrorism and disaster as a church, culture, and society. This course is appropriate for pastors, ministry leaders, and mental health professionals.
