Brewton-Parker Christian University is continuing to expand their nursing program, as they broke ground on the program’s newest facility on Wednesday, August 13.
This new facility will be under construction throughout the 2025-2026 academic year, and will feature state-of-the-art simulation labs, classrooms, training spaces, faculty offices, and collaborative learning areas.
Brewton-Parker Christian University President Steven Echols spoke on the occasion. “This groundbreaking is about preparing the next generation of nurses to be both highly skilled healthcare professionals and faithful ambassadors for Christ,” he emphasized. “Thanks to the generosity of federal and foundation grants and individual contributors, this facility will soon become a place where students are equipped to serve with compassion, excellence, and a biblical worldview.”
Echols continued, sharing that the new facility is “a testament to God’s provision” and the shared vision of the college’s supporters, who are excited to see the nursing program continue to grow. The university assures that even in this growth, the institution’s core mission of fostering academic and spiritual transformation in the lives of students remains at the center of all of the college’s endeavors.
The community came together to celebrate the college’s continued expansion, as several local leaders and supporters attended the groundbreaking.
“This new nursing facility represents opportunity not only for our students, but for the entire region. In a time when rural areas face a critical shortage in healthcare, this project is a step toward meeting that need. It has been covered in prayer, carefully planned, and guided by a shared commitment to do what is best for our community. I’m excited for the students who will train here, gaining both professional skills and a strong Christian worldview that will serve them for a lifetime,” remarked Brewton-Parker Christian University Trustee and Montgomery County Commission Chairwoman Ginger Morris.
The facility is planned to open and host classes in Fall 2026. For more information on Brewton-Parker Christian University or the college’s nursing program, visit www.bpc.edu or call (912) 583-2241.
