Baptist Missionary Association Bible College

The Baptist Missionary Association Bible College, founded Nov. 1976, was established to support the church planting program of the Baptist Missionary Association of America in the Philippines, by teaching ministers, Christian leaders, and church workers. Over 300 of its graduates serve as Pastors, assistant Pastors, and youth, music and education directors. BMA-BC Alumni also serve in remote mountains and farming communities, and in a growing number of urban ministries.

BMA Bible College is accredited with the Philippine Association of Bible and Theological Schools. We offer two and three-year associate diplomas, four-year Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Religious Education, Bachelor of Religious Music, and Master of Ministries Degrees.

So much talent and so many opportunities to minister through music dictate an emphasis in music by the BMA Bible College. This year we have been blessed to offer for the first time a Bachelor of Religious Music Degree.

Expanding our youth and children’s ministry training program is also an important goal for BMA-BC, because of the growing number of Christian Academies and Kindergartens within the BMA work here in the Philippines.

OUR VISION IS:

• To have a school able to send out students properly equipped with God’s Word, to spread the gospel to ALL NATIONS.

• To prepare students for all areas of the Ministry: Church Planters, Pastors, Christian Educators and Musicians.

• To train students from all regions of the Philippines: Luzon, Mindoro, Visayas, and Mindanao.

• To expand our Mission by preparing students from all over Asia to plant self-sustaining, self-propagating churches.

We are asking you to be our partner in this rewarding effort! For only $30 per month*, $360 per year (that is less than $1 per day!), you can be a patron of one of BMABC’s 69 students!

*This amount only covers tuition, other fees, and a partial food allowance.

Baptist Missionary Association Bible College Faculty and Staff are all actively involved in BMAP churches. They were chosen because of their qualifications, experience, and dedication to serving the Lord to the best of their abilities.

BMA Bible College is an integral part of the ministry of the BMA in the Philippines, and we continue to covet your prayers for this department.
