The first-ever Twenties Reunion featuring individuals from the first twenty years of the college was held March 5-7, 2010 on the college campus. Over 75 faculty, staff, administrators, board members, and alumni, along with spouses and other family members from those early years participated in either or both the Remembrance Dinner held Friday evening and the Founders' Banquet on Saturday at noon.
The weekend started with a number of alumni coming on campus Friday for an official tour from 1974 Alumnus Brian Johnson who currently works in the college's admissions office. The biggest challenge for this group was to remember where things 'use to be' when they were students.

That evening we enjoyed a wonderful dinner prepared by our CCC Food Service Department in the Cathcart dining hall and then all proceeded to the chapel for the program, including a CCC Trivia game, video clips and photos from the past, and testimonials from almost everyone in attendance. The evening concluded with a tribute to Dr. Steele and a rousing word of encouragement from our Founder who in June will turn 90 years old.

Other alumni and former staff joined us on Saturday at the Founders' Banquet. 1981 Alumnus Perry Cunningham opened our event with prayer. Three other alumni representing the 60's (Priscilla Cartwright), 70's (Joe Olachea), and 80's (David Altman) decades gave testimony of the impact of the college on their lives, ministries, and families. Everyone who attended commented on how much they enjoyed seeing one another again, how encouraged they were to see the college staying true to the founding purposes, and how much those who were unable to attend had missed.

One unique blessing of our weekend was the good representation of graduates from the Bahamas. Perry Cunningham arrived earlier to speak in chapel to the student body on Thursday, March 4. His message from I Corinthians 10:13 will probably go down as one of the students' favorites from this semester (go to
