Corn, OKLA — During the 2011-2012 school year, the Corn Bible Academy school board has been investigating and praying about the possibility of moving the CBA campus in order to expand and grow the ministry of the school in Western Oklahoma. An exploratory committee that included CBA board members has spent time gathering information. A Christian school consultant with experience in school dynamics and growth came and provided insight and suggestions. After much research, discussion, and prayer, the following resolution was passed at the April, 2012 CBA school board meeting: When God supplies the funds, we will relocate Corn Bible Academy next to the Western Oklahoma Christian School campus outside of Clinton.
This resolution is taken as a step of faith since the school board has also committed to not borrow money for the project. They are content to let God work in His time to provide for the future of the school. The school board feels that many doors have been opened to point them in this direction. They invite you to join with them in fervent prayer for God’s guidance as they make plans to follow God’s leading in the future of CBA. The details of the campaign will be presented at some point in the near future.

Corn, OKLA — The Corn Bible Academy student council sponsored their annual spring banquet for the CBA high school student body that was designed around an Enchanted Forest theme. The banquet was held in the CBA gymnasium on Saturday, April 21st. The evening began as students arrived with their dates in a variety of vehicles. The vehicles ranged from a model A Ford from the 1930s to a Chevrolet Corvette to a Semi Truck as well as many modern vehicles. A highlight of the arrival and putting a strain on the parking service were the largest and most expensive vehicles, two agricultural spray rigs.
After a delicious meal, the students were privileged to have the group SameState as the entertainment. SameState is a Christian contemporary music group that includes Darren Harms, a CBA graduate from 2006, as the lead guitarist.
