03 Nov 2025 Central Baptist College announces 7th Annual Scholarship Gala

CONWAY — Central Baptist College (CBC) has announced plans for its 7th Annual Scholarship Gala, scheduled for March 6, 2026, at Antioch Baptist Church in Conway.

This year’s Gala will feature Jonathan Falwell as the keynote speaker and will be held under the theme “Anchored in Faith.” Son of the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, Jonathan is the senior pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church and Chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

The Scholarship Gala is CBC’s premier fundraising event and serves as the institution’s sole annual fundraiser. Proceeds directly benefit student scholarships, which make a Christ-centered higher education accessible to students.

“Each year, the Scholarship Gala provides an opportunity to come together as a community in support of our students,” said Dr. Jeremy Langley, president of CBC. “We are thrilled to welcome Jonathan Falwell as our featured speaker and to celebrate how faith anchors our mission of transforming lives through higher education.”

The evening will include dinner, fellowship and an inspiring program centered on CBC’s mission and vision. Since its inception in 2019, the annual gala has raised nearly $4 million for scholarships. 

Event sponsorships begin at $2,000. Single tickets are available for $100 each. For more information, to purchase tickets or to make a donation, visit cbc.edu/gala or contact Peggy Pillow at [email protected] or 501.205.8834.
