PLANT CITY - Trustees, educators, staff members, students and guests joined today to dedicate a new school of Christian studies that includes what is billed as the region's first seminary.

School officials, including Ron Churchill, president ex officio, Leslie Keylock, vice president for academic affairs, and Robert Westlake, vice president for student affairs, spoke at the dedication of the Evangelical University and Seminary, 105 E. Baker St. School officials said they have about 50 students registered for undergraduate, graduate and seminary studies at the school. Late registration will continue through Sept. 10. First-semester tuition is free.

"Our task is to improve the teaching and training of our fellow ministers and students in Christ," Keylock said today. "This is it. After eight long years, this dream is now a reality. We dedicate the Evangelical University and Seminary to God, asking the great teacher to guide us in our teaching of his word."

For a list of courses for the fall term or an application form, call (813) 704-4404 or go to www.EvangelicalU.org.

Most of the classes are being held on the campus of First Baptist Church of Plant City, where Churchill is senior pastor.
