Salt Lake Bible College
Its
existence:
SLBC was formed as an arm of Salt Lake Baptist
College to meet the needs of those who may or may not call themselves
Baptist.
It is our belief that those Christians who
truly want to serve God need to know exactly what the Bible
teaches so that they will be able to then take that knowledge to
others and in so doing further the will of God in their lives.
Its
purpose:
The
purpose of SLBC is to teach the Bible to those who need to be
grounded in solid biblical teachings rather than denominational
teachings and/or the teachings of liberal theologians who have
denied the faith under the banners of compromise and/or unbelief.
Its parent school, Salt Lake Baptist College,
is a ministry of Bible Baptist Church of Salt Lake City, Utah,
which is a non-denominational, Independent, non-Protestant Baptist
Church which can trace its lineage back to the Church that Jesus
started while here on earth. Therefore, it owes no allegiance
to any earthly authority or ruling body. Christ alone is the
head of Bible Baptist Church and the Bible is its only rule of
faith and practice. Baptist doctrines are not adhered to,
which, unfortunately, are many and varied today, but rather Bible doctrines are
adhered to. Thus, at Bible Baptist Church and at the
colleges which are ministries of it, only those doctrines taught
in the scriptures are given credence and, therefore, only those
same doctrines are taught from the pulpit of the Church and the
podiums of the Bible colleges.
How
long has it been here and its effectiveness?
Although Salt Lake Bible College itself started in
September of 2007, as an arm of Salt Lake Baptist College it draws
upon the essence of that college's 22 years of existence and
experience in preparing men and women for the ministry by means of
solid, biblical, teachings. The majority of students of the
22 year ministry of Salt Lake Baptist College are either pastoring
or working in some sort of a supportive ministry (Sunday School teachers and/or
Christian School teachers, or as pastor's or worker's wives,
street preaching, etc.) or working in various outreach ministries
such as street preaching, jail and prison ministries, evangelism,
and revivalists winning souls and encouraging pastors and churches
through holding both tent and indoor meetings. Others are serving as home or foreign missionaries across North
America and around the world.
Some of those graduates are now perpetuating
the teaching ministry of the college at the churches where they
are now pastoring. This they are accomplishing through the
establishing of Bible Colleges and Bible Institutes in their
churches which are accredited as extensions of Salt Lake Baptist
College. These extension campuses can now be found in 15
states and 8 foreign countries around the globe.
Credibility.
Not only does Salt Lake Baptist College number
among its graduates many pastors, workers, educators, theologians,
authors, and a multitude of local church full-time and volunteer
staff, it also numbers among its on-campus staff, professors with
several hundred years of combined teaching and pastoring
experience. In addition it is registered as a private school
with the state of Utah and it and its fulltime teaching staff are
registered educators with UEN- which is the state educational
agency known as the "Utah Education Network."
Lineage of
educational ministry.
Salt
Lake Bible College, through use of the curriculum, experience, and
expertise of its parent, Salt Lake Baptist College, can lay claim
to an educational lineage extending back to 1988 and through its
professors back for more than a half century. In addition,
because of the documented lineage of its founding church, it can
lay claim to an educational heritage, through the teaching
ministries carried out by an unbroken line of pastors and churches
over the last two millennia, extending back to the Apostle John
and the original Church of the supreme example of all educators,
Jesus Christ himself.
