Brewton-Parker College offers an undergraduate education that is committed to academic excellence, grounded in the liberal arts tradition, and informed by the Christian faith. The College's heritage as a Georgia Baptist institution produces a concern for individuals that motivates our community to nurture and develop the whole student in a caring, Christian environment.
Faculty members serve as teacher-scholars promoting intellectual inquiry that develops the mind and spirit. Students study the traditional liberal arts and sciences, and selected professional and pre-professional programs at the campus in Mount Vernon and designated external locations. Activities both inside and outside the classroom afford students opportunities for intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual growth that prepare them for meaningful service to their local, regional, and global communities.
Brewton-Parker College is a four-year college whose main campus is located in Mount Vernon, Georgia, USA. Brewton-Parker is affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention.
In 1904, Reverend John Carter Brewton, pastor of the McRae Baptist Church, and Charles Benton Parker, a prominent businessman in McRae, resolved to establish a private boarding school to serve elementary and high school students from Montgomery County and the surrounding area. As there were no public high schools at that time, the school played an important role in furthering the education of the area’s youth. The Telfair and Daniell Baptist associations were enthusiastic supporters and agreed to establish a school in whichever community provided the most support. The towns of Mount Vernon and Ailey, bidding together, submitted a winning bid of $15,000 and fifteen acres of land. The associations announced that the school would be located between the two towns. The Montgomery County Superior Court granted a charter for the Union Baptist Institute on April 28, 1904. Other Baptist associations joined the movement, and the delegates of these associations elected a board of trustees with Rev. Brewton as president.
Union Baptist Institute formally opened on September 12, 1905, with 7 teachers and 160 pupils, offering a curriculum for grades one through eleven. The school's first year was very successful and as word spread, enrollment more than doubled to 365 and five additional teachers were hired. The campus consisted of four buildings: the academic building, now known as Gates Hall, a boys' dormitory, a girls' dormitory and a dining hall.
The name of the school was changed to Brewton-Parker Institute in 1912, to honor the two men who had contributed the most toward its establishment. Brewton-Parker Institute received accreditation in 1918 from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
