ABOUT BBC » Vision & Mission

Baptist Bible College & Seminary has an overarching vision of pursuing excellence in biblical higher education for effectiveness in global Christian leadership.

Founded in 1932 in Johnson City, New York, Baptist Bible College of Pennsylvania is an educational institution that embraces its Baptist heritage. With a commitment to biblical authority, BBC serves undergraduate, graduate, and seminary students by preparing them for lives of significant service for the cause of Jesus Christ in a variety of ministries and careers.

As a learning community dedicated to biblical higher education, BBC strengthens the church of God and influences society by cultivating an environment that promotes academic excellence and Christlikeness. Students are challenged to pursue biblical truth and wisdom, to embrace a Christian worldview, and to develop professional competence and relational skills.

BBC aspires to be a community of individuals who love and serve God with all their heart, soul, and mind, and who love their neighbor as themselves. We launch our graduates into the world as servants of God and as lifelong learners.

Biblical Truth: We value the Scriptures as truth, the highest authority for faith and practice, the center of true learning, and the basis of our worldview.

Transformational Learning: We value the development of biblically-based critical thinking, building wisdom that transforms worldview, character, behavior, relationships, and ministry in conformity to Christ.
Spiritual Integration: We value the development of the whole person: the integration of faith and practice, mind and heart, and learning and service.

Global Orientation: We value obedience to the Great Commission; therefore, we seek to serve Christ in a myriad of ways anywhere in the world.
