Dear Student,
Welcome to Virginia Baptist College! We hope that you find within the pages of this catalog the detailed information you need to make a wise decision concerning your college education. Our hope is that you will discover here the heart and spirit of our school. We believe that through likeminded churches, God has brought together sincere faculty members and students who desire to faithfully and effectively serve God.
Virginia Baptist College offers specialized instruction for those interested in preparing for Christian service. Whether your intention is to increase your Bible knowledge or pursue an associate, bachelor or master’s degree for full‑time ministry, VBC can help you reach your goals. You may choose stimulating classes in a variety of subject areas taught by qualified teachers.
Based on Ephesians 4:11-12, we have chosen as our focus, "For the Work of the Ministry.” In keeping with our independent Baptist heritage, we are persuaded that if we teach the inspired, inerrant Word of God, the Holy Spirit will produce mature Christians with a zeal for evangelism, a loyalty to the New Testament church, and a devotion to the study of the Bible. Our intention is that each student be actively involved in the ministry of his or her own local church.
For the students’ convenience, VBC offers an extremely flexible class schedule. Courses may be taken in class, online, or by videoconferencing. While most undergraduate classes are scheduled in the evenings for the benefit of our working students, graduate classes are generally offered during the day. Most of our students commute to class at this time; however, housing arrangements can be made for those who wish to live locally.
Please prayerfully consider Virginia Baptist College as a part of your preparation to serve Christ. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact us through the College Office.
Yours in Christ,
