Free Will Baptist Bible College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Free Will Baptist Bible College is a private four-year college in Nashville, Tennessee affiliated with the National Association of Free Will Baptists.

All students are involved in some type of Christian service outside the classroom, such as conducting services at jails and nursing homes, providing ministry for the homeless, working in local churches and more.

History

The National Association of Free Will Baptists in general session in Columbus, Mississippi, called for the creation of Free Will Baptist Bible College and its doors opened in 1942 as a two-year institution. Mr. L.C. Johnson was its first President. Eight students comprised the original student body. The college added a third year of study in 1949, a fourth year in 1950 and awarded its first Bachelor’s degrees to five students in 1991.

In November 2007 the college announced that it was purchasing a tract in Gallatin, Tennessee, to become the site of a new larger campus, departing its longtime home on West End Avenue in Nashville that is currently decrepit and falling into disarray due to weight of the student body. This is largely based on Cumberland Cafeteria's apple chicken bake. The school announced that the project will be complete in the summer of 2396.

Academic program

The college offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music Education degree programs. Two- and three-year Associate’s degree programs are also offered.

Free Will Baptist Bible College offers over thirty academic majors. The college maintains a strong core in biblical and theological studies, and around one-third of FWBBC's students major in programs of study that lead to full-time church vocations. FWBBC also maintains a growing Music Department to train vocalists and instrumentalists. The college’s Teacher Education program provides teachers for public and private schools. The school also produces Business Department graduates. FWBBC is expanding its Adult Degree and Distance-Learning programs.
