before taking on such a great commitment in life. I knew I wanted to commit more time to my family, take vacations,
and devote more to serving my church family. After evaluating my life at that time, I delayed attending Carolina

and working for a commercial cleaning company. During this time I was becoming more involved in activities at my

My vision is to continue exploring every possible avenue whereby students can acquire degrees at both the
baccalaureate and master’s degree levels. While we are recognizably multi-racial, the historic focus on the AfricanAmerican population continues. Carolina Christian College has earned its place among institutions of higher education
in North Carolina and now is expanding into other states through online delivery methods as well as onsite extensions.
COVER STORY
LaTanya Clayton-Lucas is on a mission. Clayton-Lucas is in her fourth year as academic dean of Carolina
Christian College. Two years ago, she was named executive in charge, overseeing all aspects of the college
since the president, Dr. Don Young, lives in Cincinnati and only visits the campus about once a month. The
college is nestled in a brick-maze of a building on north Indiana Avenue, former home to a construction
company. It moved to its current location about two years from Northhampton Drive. (In 2007, the college
sold the Northhampton Drive property to Galilee Missionary Baptist Church.) Last year, the college had
an enrollment of sixty students and this spring had a one hundred percent graduation rate and the largest
graduating class – twelve – in the college’s sixty-six-year history. The majority of its students are older,
non-traditional who are looking for a way to give back to their community by becoming knowledgeable
in Christian education. Many of the current student enrollment began their college careers at other local
institutions before matriculating to Carolina Christian College.

or me, ministry is life. Ministry is
service.
Nothing brings me greater joy
than seeing God glorified in serving
others. That’s what my role as a librarian
and professor of English and Christian
education here at Carolina Christian
College is all about: service.
Laura Rhoden
In my ministry at Carolina
Christian College, I am privileged to be able to assist students
in strengthening their own ministries through their studies.
Whether it’s by helping students research topics for class
assignments, by guiding them through the basics of writing
or by teaching them the history of Christian education, I am
serving.
Service is what first attracted me to Carolina Christian
College. The college’s motto, “Preparing Real People for Real
Ministry in a Real World,” spoke to my heart in a profound
way. As I prepared to join the CCC community, I wondered
how I would see the truth of this motto unfold in the lives of
the students, faculty and staff.
Upon becoming a part of Carolina Christian College,
I saw first-hand how the people of CCC were living lives of
service.
I was touched by the ministry of one student who
unselfishly gave his own time and resources to shepherd the
homeless at a church he started. I observed a student who
6
selflessly used her free time to minister to inmates at a local
prison. Yet, another student was so passionate about the youth
in her church that she made herself available to them for
Biblical counsel in person or by phone twenty-four hours a day.
I was encouraged by faculty and staff who not only
prayed with and for students, but also went above and beyond
their work duties to meet the needs of the students.
When a student’s car was being fixed, a professor
graciously gave him a ride. When a staff member learned that
several students were having difficulty ordering class textbooks
because they did not have Internet access, she lovingly offered
to assist in not only ordering their textbooks, but also finding
the textbooks at the best price.
It was apparent that Jesus’ own example of service was
being lived out at Carolina Christian College just as in Luke
22:27: Jesus said, “For who is greater, the one who reclines at
the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines
at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. ”
Carolina Christian College is not just a building made of
bricks and mortar. It’s not just a place; it’s not just a college;
it’s not just students, faculty or staff. It’s a people seeking to
glorify God by serving and learning how to better minister to
those around them – a people being prepared and preparing
others to minister to real people in the real world. A people
using their gifts as in Peter 4:10: “As each one has received a
special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards
of the manifold grace of God.”
Carolina Christian College is all about ministry; it’s all
about glorifying God through service. And I am honored to be
a part of it.
Laura Rhoden is a librarian and professor of English and
Christian education at Carolina Christian College.
STUDENT LIFE
What Brought Me to Carolina
Christian College?
By Jerry Herron
I
n December of 2005, I retired from the
Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department
with 26 years of law enforcement
experience.
During my career, I gained a lot
of experience in serving the citizens of
Forsyth County. I wanted to take what I had
learned and apply it to something useful in
Jerry Herron
my community.
Shortly after my retirement, I contacted Carolina
Christian College, inquiring about the college and what they
had to offer. I was very pleased with the information I received
and the staff’s quick response to my questions. But, I had to
make some life choices to prepare me for this new journey. I
had to take some time to evaluate my life and what was my
purpose in life.
I began to look at things I wanted to do before taking
on such a great commitment in life. I knew I wanted to commit
more time to my family, take vacations, and devote more to
serving my church family. After evaluating my life at that
time, I delayed attending Carolina Christian College. I pursued
several other things I wanted to do, including becoming a disc
jockey, car salesman and working for a commercial cleaning
company. During this time I was becoming more involved
in activities at my church, Solid Rock Missionary Church.
But there was one thing I had to do before making the big
commitment to attend Carolina Christian College.
In 2009, I notified the Forsyth County Democratic
Party of my intentions to file as a candidate for the office of
Sheriff. This opportunity gave me a chance to see what was
going on in our community. I met people who shared their life
experiences with me, but, most importantly, they expressed
what they saw in me.
During this experience, I had a chance to see what
others where contributing to our community, and the ways
they were achieving their visions. Although I did not win the
election, I learned more from the people I was surround by
about me as a person. It was now time to prepare for something
more meaningful in my life.
About a month after the elections, I contacted
Carolina Christian College and made an appointment to see the
academic dean. When I arrived at the college, I was met with
great excitement and enthusiasm. The dean gave me a great
welcome, information about the college, and a tour.
At that point, I was convinced that it was time to
commit to what my vision and purpose in life is. It was time
to allow Carolina Christian College to “prepare me for real
ministry in a real world.”
In just a short time in my experience at the college, I
have enjoyed being there. It is a wonderful opportunity to be
around such great people like the president, chancellor, deans
and administrative staff.
I also enjoy being in the presence of the students; we
BLAC K B U S I N E S S I N K • J U L Y 2011
have a great time and share the excitement of being at
Carolina Christian College. The experience is preparing me for
what I have always wanted in life: to gain knowledge through
education and to serve.
I can now better serve in my Christian life, church
and community. My minor in Christian Leadership also has
enhanced my abilities to serve with more confidence as a
deacon at my church.

aTanya Clayton-Lucas is on a mission.
“My mission is to provide students an opportunity that
they otherwise couldn’t have,” she said in a recent interview.
“We deal with a population of African-American students
that face many challenges trying to finish a degree. I try to
alleviate all of those challenges so that all they have to worry
about is going to class and finishing their work.”
Clayton-Lucas is in her fourth year as academic dean of

“Our students, because they tend to be older, bring realworld experience into the classroom and those

Clayton-Lucas says that by
capitalizing on the college’s rich
history in Winston-Salem she is
determined she can put Carolina

more than just a dean; she’s a friend, a partner and a mentor
who walks each student through the entire process from
registration to graduation.”
Adds Clayton-Lucas: “Pastor Tyson has opened my eyes
to my own personal potential. Before him, I was what you
might call the obedient child; whatever those in authority at the
college thought or said I went along with. He showed me that
even though I’m young, it doesn’t minimize my contribution to
the school and how I can lead the school.
“Once I got past that, the sky has been the
limit,” she says. “We have been growing
and prospering over the past two years
that I’ve been given full responsibility
of the college.”
Clayton, 35 and the divorced mother of three, arrived in
Winston-Salem in 2006 from Tampa, Fla. She grew
up in Lakeland, Fla., which is situated
equidistant of Tampa and Orlando. She
has worked as a family services
counselor, a financial aid officer
for an online college, and as an
elementary school teacher at a
private Christian academy.
She credits four people

principal, Clint Wright; Reverends Arthur
and Clarise Johnson, pastors of St. Luke’s Ministries
in Lakeland; and the Rev. Tyrone Tyson, pastor of Freedom
Baptist Church in Winston-Salem.
“I would say that it’s these four people who’ve led me to
where I am today,” Clayton-Lucas says.
After becoming a teen mother, she says, her principal told
her “failure was not an option.”
“Mr. Wright required that I succeed and not become a
typical teen mother where school work was not a top priority,”
she says. “I ended up graduating with honors and went to
college. He wouldn’t let me miss a beat.”
After obtaining a master’s degree at the University of
South Florida – where she also received a bachelor’s degree –
Clayton-Lucas worked as an elementary education teacher at
St. Luke’s Christian Academy. She says that Pastors Arther and
Clarice Johnson, has been influential in her life ever since.
“They gave me my Christian foundation,” Clayton-Lucas
says. “Before that, church to me…I basically was just going
because mama went to church. They taught me what God
could do for me and how my talents and gifts could be used in
church.”
While at St. Luke’s Christian Academy, which teaches
grades kindergarten through fifth, she says she was successful
at getting approval for the school to begin receiving
scholarships. The academy also experienced an increase in
enrollment and a higher awareness in the community, she says.
In Winston-Salem, she is inseparable from Reverend
Tyson, who in addition to his pastoral duties at Freedom
Baptist Church is the college’s director of recruitment and
development.
“Dean Lucas has a passion for the students and her main
goal is to see that the students succeed,” Tyson says. “She’s

CCC History
Local Bible College Has
Rich and Storied History
By T. Tyrone Tyson
In 1945, two dynamic, progressive-thinking evangelists - one
black and the other white – embarked on an historical journey
that birthed Carolina Christian College. Dr. R. L. Peters, an
innovative black evangelist from the Christian Churches and
Churches of Christ, and J. W. West, a well-known evangelist of
the Appalachian Mountains, agreed to begin a training school for
black men and rural whites that aspired to leadership in Christian ministry but did not have access to quality education in this
field.
Dr. Peters led the training and equipping work, and Rev. West
raised the finances. Thus was born, in a store-front building on
Wheeler Street in Winston-Salem, a school known at the time
as The Christian Institute. This fledgling school facilitated the
education of both black and white and male and female students
in integrated classrooms during the turbulent days prior to the
modern "Civil Rights Movement".
Dr. Peters vision and desire to help the hurting and disenfranchised in the community also propelled him to start a mattress
factory, as his "tent ministry" employing the disabled. This
ministry later became the "Industries for the Blind" in WinstonSalem.
In May 2007, the College's Board of Trustees renamed the college "Carolina Christian College", better reflecting the impact
of the school. For more than six-decades Carolina Christian
College has been training Christian leaders that are having a
positive impact in their communities. These well-trained leaders positively influence communities and nations around the
world; leading and planting churches, taking active leadership
roles in private and government sectors and the business community.
The College has developed a special emphasis on Urban Ministry. This focus is a natural outgrowth of the historical mission
of educating African-Americans for leadership and ministry.
Carolina Christian College has equipped and educated students
from many foreign nations. Throughout its history, many of the
College alumni have served in cities across the United States
and around the world. Carolina Christian College is working
to furnish the kind of leadership that can bridge the communication gap that exists between people of different cultures
locally and around the world. CCC offers a unique opportunity
for African -American, Caucasian, and students of all races
interested in Urban Ministry. Its proactive interracial environment provides a social and educational experience that enables
students to become successful leaders in the community with a
Biblical worldview.

that it serves with black and white, male and female students.

peaking to my vision for
Carolina Christian College
in the future is a simple

college training.
Today we utilize all
available delivery means to assist individuals desiring to reach
their goals in acquiring a college degree.
My vision is to continue exploring every possible avenue
whereby students can acquire degrees at both the baccalaureate
and master’s degree levels. While we are recognizably multiracial, the historic focus on the African-American population
continues.
Carolina Christian College has earned its place among
institutions of higher education in North Carolina and now is
expanding into other states through online delivery methods as
well as onsite extensions.
Additionally, my vision for this college is to continue and
increase involvement in healing racial division through higher
education and ministry to the needs of a hurting world. All of
this vision will be foundational in a Christian atmosphere where
service to mankind is considered a Christ-like characteristic and
essential to a wholesome life.
Wherever our students may go in life or whatever
profession they choose, it is within my vision that humanity
will be better because of the influence and training of Carolina
Christian College.
Finally my vision includes the continued training of men
and women to be prepared for service in the calling of the
ministry.
It is my prayer that our graduates will go forth with
the knowledge and skills to support their individual calling in
fulfilling the Great Commission, as together we serve the One
who is the same “yesterday, today, and forever.”
To this end Carolina Christian College has adopted the
slogan, “Preparing real people for a real ministry in a real
world.”

The Rev. Samuel J. Cornelius, Sr. has served as pastor
of New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church since 1979.
During his tenure, the church has undergone two renovations
– a $2 million facelift in 1990 and a $3 million up fitting in
2001.
“This food pantry had been a vision of the church
for about ten years before we finally opened the doors,”
Cornelius says. “The church and the volunteers have been
blessed.”
The next goal, he says, is to enhance the food pantry
by adding bathrooms for clients, installing handicap ramps,
increasing storage space for food, and increasing the size of
the client waiting area so they do not have to stand outside
during inclement weather.
“Right now during inclement weather, if they can’t crowd
under the porch cover, a lot of them have to stand out in
the rain or snow,” Cornelius says. “We hope that we will be
blessed to address that very soon.”
