Mission Statement
The mission of Northland Baptist Bible College is (1) to glorify God by
providing an educational environment for developing servant–leaders in
honesty, obedience, wisdom, and service to love Jesus Christ with all
their heart, soul, and mind (2) and by teaching students to live by the
principles of God’s Word, to walk with God as His faithful laborers,
and to serve in local churches for revival, world evangelization, and
the discipling of future generations for the cause of Jesus Christ.
Purpose Statement
Training the next generation of servant–leaders for Great Commission living.
Statement of Practice
Northland Baptist Bible College stands firmly in the stream of Baptist
faith and practice. We recognize the need for a Bible college to
rekindle a fervor and zeal for the ministry both at home and abroad.
Each major is saturated with Bible and doctrine courses as well as
practical ministerial training courses, both of which are vital in
preparing and training students for life and ministry.
Philosophy of Education
The goal of Northland Baptist Bible College is to provide an atmosphere
of academic excellence and classroom discipleship to prepare
servant–leaders for Great Commission living. True education produces
individuals with both “hands of skill and hearts for God” (Psalm
78:72). The NBBC faculty is committed to train individuals whose chief
desire is to serve the Lord so they will be motivated to serve others
in their chosen field of ministry.
We reject the idea of a value–free education. We believe that truth is
centered in Jesus Christ and that all knowledge should be related to
Him. We believe the Bible should be the philosophical foundation for
all subject matter and that it is a faithful guide for all curricular
and pedagogical decisions. By committing ourselves to carefully and
purposefully delivering truth in the classroom, we seek to produce
future servant–leaders who can likewise communicate biblical truth with
clarity and passion.
To accomplish this goal, we strive to offer courses that provide
students with both academic theory and character development in a rich
hands–on learning environment. This emphasis allows us to equip
students with the ability to confront the unforeseen challenges of the
future while enabling them to have immediate success in a variety of
ministry settings. In order to continue his education and to graduate,
a Northland student must demonstrate both academic competence and Godly
character consistent with the vision, values, and philosophy of the institution’s mission and ministry.
