Located in North Los Angeles County and approximately 80 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), WCBC has been blessed with a beautiful campus of nearly 100 acres. Home to West Coast Baptist College, Lancaster Baptist Church, Striving Together Publications, and Lancaster Baptist School, this oasis in the desert is almost always alive with activity.
Opened in 2007, the Revels Building is the campus’ signature education building. This three-story building is home to twenty-one modern classrooms of various sizes including a state-of-the-art science lab, home economics lab, design studio, piano lab, six private practice rooms, and two computer labs. The main floor hosts a small chapel as well as a welcoming foyer, bookstore, and coffee shop where friends gather and students catch a moment of relaxation or a burst of caffeine between classes.
Classrooms
Nineteen of the building’s classrooms are warmed by natural light, and every classroom is equipped with modern multimedia technology to provide engaging and interactive learning content. In addition to providing WCBC with learning space, these classrooms are used by Lancaster Baptist Church for connection groups and discipleship. Pictured here, Revels 207 is a typical, medium-sized Revels classroom.
Just next to the southwest entrance, the Walther Center (WAC) provides a unique and beautiful hub for relaxation and friendship as well as quiet and focused study. Named after the late Leo Walther, a long-time member of Lancaster Baptist Church and a friend to all, the WAC is home to the West Coast Baptist College Eagles, The Point Restaurant, The Hangar and the WCBC Library. In addition, this multi-purpose building serves the Iglesia Bautista de Lancaster, the Spanish ministry of Lancaster Baptist Church.
WCBC has a variety of dormitories on the campus where the vast majority of the students live. The three newest permanent dormitories – Lawrence, Martin, and Sisk Halls – have identical designs while the remaining residences each have a unique layout. All dormitories have shared kitchenettes on each floor, in-residence laundry facilities, common lobby space, and vending machines. Access to on-campus residence halls is governed through a centralized scan card system, and every floor of the dorms is led by a staff-designated dormitory supervisor.
The Student Life Center is a multipurpose building that serves as a cafeteria for serving meals and a gymnasium for our growing sports program. There are also various classrooms where college classes are taught on a weekly basis.
Every student is assigned a Post Office Box for the year or semester they attend WCBC. Mail items such as package notices or letters are delivered direclty to a student's box.
