BCF trustees adopt plan for presidential succession and approve budget Posted on BCF trustees adopt plan for presidential succession and approve 2021-2022 annual budget. The Trustees of The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) met on the campus in Graceville for their annual meeting on May 18, 2021. The Board received reports on rebuilding efforts since Hurricane Michael and changes in the school’s curriculum. The items receiving the most attention in the meeting dealt with a plan for Presidential Succession and the approval of the 2021-2022 Operating Budget. Recognizing the impact of COVID 19 during the last year and the growing competition in ministry preparation brought on by new and expanding programs, BCF President Thomas A. Kinchen recommended an operating budget of $5,913,000 for the 2021-2022 session. This total represents a decrease of $87,000 from the school’s 2020-2021 budget. Most of the cuts came as the result of recent faculty retirements.
