As a parent, there are few decisions weightier than where your child will be spiritually and academically trained. Our son is currently a pastoral student at Baptist College of Ministry, and to say we are pleased would be an understatement—we are deeply grateful, consistently encouraged, and yes, even joyfully overwhelmed by the goodness of the Lord in leading us here.
BCM is not your average college. It’s not about chasing credentials or padding resumes. It’s about wholehearted surrender to Christ, biblical grounding, and a passion for true revival. From day one, our son was immersed in an environment that emphasizes not just ministry preparation but a vibrant walk with God. The faculty are more than educators—they are spiritual mentors, prayer warriors, and examples of humility and faithfulness. What we’ve appreciated most is the balance: BCM takes doctrine seriously, but never at the expense of compassion. It demands personal holiness, but never forgets the grace that empowers it. It's a place where students are challenged to think deeply, serve sacrificially, and live joyfully—all for the cause of Christ.
As parents, we have watched our son grow—not just in head knowledge, but in heart-level surrender. His love for the Lord has deepened. His desire to serve others has expanded. His preaching, praying, and personal walk have all matured. And frankly, he’s happier than we’ve ever seen him.
This is a college that still believes the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. That prayer isn’t an afterthought but a lifeline. That revival isn’t just for history books—it’s for now. BCM is a serious place—but there’s also laughter, camaraderie, late-night theology debates, and the kind of lifelong friendships forged only in the trenches of gospel preparation.
We could not recommend it more highly. If you’re looking for a place that takes Jesus seriously and stands firm against compromise—and teaches students to do the same—look no further. Baptist College of Ministry has been a tremendous blessing to our family, and we thank the Lord...
Read moreI am very thankful for my time at BCM! I have an even better appreciation for this school now. This is an amazing school where you can be challenged academically and spiritually! What I love is this school wants every student to have an amazing relationship with God throughout the school year. So they teach them Biblically how to walk with God moment by moment throughout the school year. When you are around BCM students you can see students who are meeting with God on a regular basis. It's exciting to be associated with this school!...
Read moreThe Lord is truly working here. I've made countless decisions through the youth summit they host every October. I hope to one day attend the Bible College if the Lord wills. This place showed me that Total Surrender and Total Dependence on God really is the best choice one can make. Thank so much to all the students and coordinators...
