One thread isn't a tapestry, and one melody isn't a symphony, and one story isn't a history. But taken together, a thousand threads weave into a tapestry, and the most beautiful symphony is simply layers of individual melodies. Likewise, at Champion, we don't see the history of the school as a long monologue; we see it as a collection of stories.
And the stories of our alumni are the ones we never tire of hearing. Here in the Alumni Stories, you'll meet real graduates of Champion who have gone on to have successful and impactful careers in many different fields all across the globe. So pull up a chair and listen — and let our alumni tell you a story.
B.S. in Elementary Education, 2025
"My journey at Champion Christian College began in the fall of 2021 when I heard about the college’s online component, I was excited right away because I wanted a teaching degree that was paired with a strong biblical foundation. After praying about it, everything fell into place quite quickly.
Even as a long-distance student, I never felt alone; the professors truly make you feel seen. Whether it was my advisor, Dr. Malone, checking in on my well-being, or bonding with Christina Lindley over a shared love for reading, I felt like part of a family. The Bible classes, in particular, transformed my life, moving me from simply reading the Word to truly studying it on a deeper level. Although I was initially intimidated, I found that the professors were dedicated to helping me grow spiritually.
After graduating and seeking licensure through the governing boards of the state of Texas, I am now a fully certified 4th-grade Math and Science teacher!
I absolutely love my job, and I am so grateful for the foundation Champion provided. Today, I don’t just teach; I serve in my church ministries and lead a women’s Bible study, living out the motto of being a Christ-centered servant leader. To anyone considering Champion: pray about it, ask questions, and take diligent notes in those Bible classes—they are resources that will stay on your bookshelf for a lifetime. Champion played a vital role in my walk with God, and for that, I will always be grateful."
B. S. in Sports Management, 2016
"Being one of the first graduates at Champion that went through the sports management program, I'd say the teachings and learnings from my time there equipped me to have the do-it-all type mindset that I now carry over to the real sports world that I work in. From public relations to social media management, I've kept that type of mentality since my days in Hot Springs."
B.S. in Secondary Education, 2020
"I am extremely grateful for the training I received while at Champion Christian College. I was trained to grow not only academically, but spiritually. During my time at Champion, I was able to participate in and observe live classroom settings throughout my education courses. This greatly motivated me to continue pursuing a degree in education and consistently grow as an aspiring educator. Regarding my spiritual life and walk with Christ, Champion provided many opportunities to get plugged into the church and church inspired college events. While at Champion, I participated in worship, nursery, and regularly attended Ignite (a monthly worship service for college students).
Overall, I am very glad to have attended Champion Christian College for my training as an educator. As I am teaching today, I am grateful to have participated in a hands-on education from a Christian worldview, as I can portray this same thing to my students today."
