Mission Statement

Foundation Baptist College exists to prepare future pastors for ministry and strengthen members of local churches for God’s glory.

Institutional Objectives

When our students graduate, they should be capable of:

  • Reading—Read Scripture and enduring texts with rich understanding and discerning application.
  • Growing – Cultivate a continual pursuit of wisdom grounded in humility.
  • Thinking – Reason through hard questions with clarity grounded in a biblical worldview.
  • Speaking — Speak and write truth cogently, persuasively, and graciously.
  • Going – Live out authentic Christianity with wisdom and grace in any cultural context to fulfill the Great Commission.

Admission Standards

All applicants are evaluated on the following bases:
  • A credible, personal profession of faith (written). The college is willing to consider students who are uncertain or seeking to come to clarity about their faith on two further bases: (1) they demonstrate that they are teachable and truly searching, and (2) they agree to attend on a probationary basis.
  • An explanation of the student’s hopes or goals for future ministry (written).
  • A personal interview, verifying that the student’s expectations are compatible with the programs offered.
  • A pastoral recommendation from a spiritual leader who knows them well and can testify to their character.
  • A high-school transcript, homeschool portfolio, GED or diploma, or proof of post-secondary studies. The college accommodates home school students as long as they can demonstrate educational work that is comparable to provincial standards. In questionable cases, students will be asked to submit a 1,000 word essay.
  • On submission of these requirements, the application is evaluated by the president and faculty. Students are notified of their acceptance in writing.
  • Foundation Baptist College does not discriminate based on race, color, age, sex, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, or, for married students, medical needs arising from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

They will also benefit from credits earned at Maranatha remotely and graduate with a fully accredited diploma from Maranatha. Our students may pursue one of three different tracks towards earning an accredited degree:
