West Coast Up Close is an opportunity for those who are considering college options (students, recent high school graduates, parents, etc.) to experience all that WCBC offers. Through this event, you’ll participate in the day-to-day academic, spiritual, and social aspects of campus life.
Whether you’ve visited the WCBC campus before or have never been to California, you’ll find that West Coast Up Close is a highly concentrated, personal opportunity to see what WCBC life is really like.
Deciding if, where, and when you will attend college is a big decision, and you should know how WCBC can help you prepare for your future. Do you really want to commit four years of your life to an institution you haven't explored in as much detail as possible?
Any sophomore or above who is considering WCBC as a college option and their parents will appreciate and benefit from this experience.
Three days designed specifically to allow potential students to attend classes, live in the dorms, participate in student activities, make memories, attend Lancaster Baptist Church, ask questions, find answers, and generally experience life as a WCBC student.
On the campus of West Coast Baptist College and Lancaster Baptist Church in northern Los Angeles County, California.

While the on-campus WCUC experience is by far the best way to discover WCBC, we understand that some schools, churches, and families are not able to make the trip to California on these particular dates. That's why we have put a Virtual WCUC that you can download and present on-demand.

"I came to College Days to figure out whether or not I should attend Bible college. While here, the classes, preaching, and interactions with the faculty opened my eyes to a world of possibilities I hadn't considered. I was also glad to find that the teachers here have real-world experience in ministry, so they teach from experience as well as study. In my opinion, anyone who is praying about Bible college should come to WCBC's College Days."
—Ethan | Lakeland, FL (attended in 2017)
"Before coming to College Days, I was wrestling some with knowing what God wanted me to do in the fall. The minute I stepped onto this campus, God put a peace in my heart. This is home. Everyone I met was super sweet, and it felt like I had known them for years. Because I invested the money to visit the college I was considering, I know 100% for sure where I am supposed to go."
—Haley | Lone Oak, TX (attended in 2017)
"I came to College Days to make sure West Coast was right for me. Meeting the faculty and staff made me realize that they would be there for me both inside and outside the classroom. They cared about me as a person. Staying in the dorms helped me to realize that Bible college can also be a lot of fun. Now, I'm excited to begin classes this fall."
—Caleb | Celina, OH
"I think that everyone—literally, everyone—should come to College Days. For me, it was a great time to get away from high school for a couple of days and make friends with other Christians just like me. The preaching and classes grew my desire to serve Christ, and reminded me that God chooses to use every day, ordinary people. At College Days, I began to believe that God can and will use me."
—Chandler | Big Spring, TX

The good news is that these three hotels have offered a special discount to our West Coast Up Close guests. “West Coast Baptist College” is the magic phrase that will get you our exclusive rate.
