Founders Day Chapel | 11 a.m. |
Join us for a special service celebrating the Distinguished Alumni Award recipients Jennifer Rothschild, class of 1986, and Philip Rothschild, class of 1985.
Jennifer and Philip Rothschild are PBA alumni dedicated to faith, education and leadership. Jennifer, a 1986 PBA graduate, is a bestselling author, Bible teacher and founder of Fresh Grounded Faith women’s conferences, encouraging women through Kingdom-minded events. Dr. Philip Rothschild, a respected educator with a PhD from Florida State, has shaped future leaders in strategic and talent management, earning recognition for his excellence in teaching at Missouri State University. Together, they founded the womensministry.net Leadership Library in 1998, a resource to equip women in ministry to lead well.

Founders Day Luncheon | 12 p.m. |
Together, we will honor Dr. William “Bill” M. B. Fleming, Jr., former president of PBA, with a celebratory luncheon and reveal his official presidential portrait.
Dr. Fleming served as president for eight years, after serving as vice president of development and interim president, first joining PBA in 1992. Under his leadership, PBA’s programs and campus footprint expanded, including the establishment of the Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Athletic Campus. Dr. Fleming has a great love for the PBA community and, upon his retirement, established a scholarship for students leading through Workship, PBA’s signature community-service program.
Registration for this event is part of Homecoming and Family Weekend. We hope to see you there!
