Mission Statement
Purpose
The Purposes of Calvary Baptist Bible College are:
- First and foremost, to glorify God in everything we do.
- To provide the academic and practical aspects of preparing men for the gospel ministry: preaching the Word, serving as pastors, missionaries, youth pastors, evangelists, or other full-time ministries;
- To train men to accurately handle the Word of God, to be zealous in the preaching of it, as true servants of our Lord Jesus Christ;
- To instill in the hearts of our students a love for Christ, His Word, His Church, His people, and the souls of lost people;
- To prepare students to leave this institution to build fundamental, independent, separated, soul winning Baptist churches;
- To develop the devotional life of our students so they can maintain a close walk with the Lord, whom they have been called to serve.
Philosophy
We are committed to the belief that it is vital for experienced pastors, missionaries, and Christian educators to train God-called men for the ministry. Teaching is much more than dispensing facts; it is pouring one life into another. We endeavor to fill our faculty with seasoned preachers of the Bible. We will also seek to fill our chapel pulpit with men who will inform the mind, stir the heart, and challenge the will. We plan to keep our chapels "hot". We also believe that the spiritual life of a man is most important as he prepares himself for the ministry. We will stress the importance of private and personal aspects of our student’s lives. We will encourage each student to maintain a close relationship to the Lord through daily prayer and personal Bible study.
We also believe a strong academic program is necessary to properly prepare men for the ministry. We will not only teach the what of the ministry, but also the reasons for and the processes. The discipline of hard study is vital to a students’ preparation.
We are also convinced that no education is complete without practical involvement in a local church. This is a great part of the overall training of a man for the gospel ministry. We emphasize the local church as God’s plan for this age. Our school is therefore a ministry of and under the umbrella of Calvary Baptist Church. Nothing can substitute for the local church. Students already established in local churches in the area are encouraged to be faithful to support their pastor and serve in their own local churches. Other students can avail themselves of the many opportunities of service at Calvary (over eight hundred in Sunday morning attendance), rest home, jail, and bus ministries, and other ministries for children, teens, and adults.
Calvary does not accept the philosophy, position, or practice of the National Council of Churches, New Evangelicalism, Hyper-Calvinism, the Charismatic movement or other aspects of ecumenicalism.
