Calvary’s 23rd Annual Golf Tournament

Calvary’s 23rd Annual Golf Tournament

Calvary University’s 23rd Annual Calvary Classic 4-person scramble golf tournament was a great success, bringing together 114 golfers at Eagles’ Landing Golf Course, located adjacent to the campus.  

The winning team of the overall tournament was composed of John Bollinger, Austin Bollinger, Chase Bollinger, and Billy Bollinger (pictured above). A highlight of the event was the putting contest, won by alumnus Ron Bedard (pictured to the right, CA81*). This contest was sponsored by David Vitt in memory of his sister and brother, Bernadette Vitt-Graber and Chris Vitt. 

The tournament raised over $33,000, thanks to the dedication and support of all of the participants and sponsors, including the primary sponsor, Gary & Liz Simons of Northland Sonic Drive-Ins. Participants enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by Chick-fil-A of Lee’s Summit and a tasty supper courtesy of Price Chopper of Belton, cooked by Calvary faculty and staff. Refreshing beverages were supplied by PepsiCo, ensuring everyone stayed hydrated and energized throughout the day. 

Thank you to all who joined us this year!

Support Calvary at Feast & Fund August 7

Message from the President on the Postponement of Feast and Fund:

Dear Calvary Family,

While we were very much looking forward to spending an evening with you in fellowship and in support of what God is doing through Calvary, our desire is to lead as good neighbors and support all possible efforts at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. In light of recent guidance from the CDC and government authorities we have determined that it is most considerate of you and our communities to postpone the Feast and Fund Auction event until August 7.

We apologize for the short notice, as COVID-19 and the public response have created a very fluid situation, and we want to exercise the utmost caution and consideration for all of you. Thank you so much for your willingness to participate and for tolerating this unplanned (humanly speaking) deferment of fun and fellowship. We look forward to being able to enjoy the Feast and Fund event with you on August 7, God willing. Registrations and auction items will remain active for the new date.

This event was originally scheduled in part to meet financial needs which are especially great during the summer, and postponing the auction has significant financial implications for Calvary. We ask that you prayerfully consider joining the Cohort or making an initial donation to help support the important work being done through Calvary University. Thank you so much for your friendship, and for your willingness to encourage and support. Let’s all be prayerful and vigilant as we navigate these challenges together, with confidence in Him.

CUSpotlight: William Stebbins

CUSpotlight: William Stebbins

William “Bill” Stebbins, Chief Development Officer, at Al Faw Palace in Baghdad.

“We never want students to be intimidated by the cost of education.”

William Stebbins traveled the world from India to Iraq to Mexico and beyond before he came on board as staff at Calvary. Stebbins was active duty in the Army for 20 years, doing everything from leading platoons of tanks to operational commanding. In his last job before retiring from the military, he taught tactics.

He brings years of experience and training in operational strategy to bear on developmental strategy at Calvary. “It 100 percent affects [my work here] because it deals with leadership. My entire Army career, I dealt with leadership and having to develop a team from very disparate backgrounds, bring them together to focus on a goal, and work through problems to figure out how to achieve a better outcome.”

Stebbins heads Calvary’s Development Department as Chief Development Officer (CDO). In his role, Stebbins focuses on revenue generation. He said the vision is keeping tuition low for students. “Because we never want students to be intimidated by the cost of education. Who wants to go to the mission field if you have a $20,000 debt?”

The question for academic institutions is how to stay financially viable while maintaining low tuition. Stebbins pointed out that “across the nation, universities and Bible colleges are shutting their doors because they can’t balance that.” And this is where Stebbins comes into the picture. As CDO, he finds ways to increase revenue in untraditional ways not tied to students’ tuition.

Looking at his mission, Stebbins said the most exciting part of his work is “making [low tuition] a concrete reality.” Calvary is committed to providing affordable education, and Stebbins plays a large role in achieving that goal. His work protects and advances the low tuition that is one of Calvary’s distinctives.

Stebbins works as Calvary’s Chief Development Officer.
