Baptist Bible College has its origins in a May 1950 meeting of Baptist ministers at the Texas Hotel in Fort Worth. In the summer of 1950 land was bought at the intersection of Summit and Kearney roads in Springfield, Missouri. This former five-acre city park was turned into dormitories, which opened on September 5, 1950. From the founding until 1975, George Beauchamp Vick, pastor of the Temple Baptist Church of Detroit, Michigan (currently NorthRidge Church), was the president of the college.
The vice president of the college, W. E. Dowell, Sr., then became the president until the fall of 1985. In 2001, BBC received probationary accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Mike Randall was installed as the fifth president on February 20, 2002.

However, a Founder's Scholarship is awarded to all students upon admission to the college for $5,500 to $9,500 per year depending upon prior GPA.
