Baptist Bible College and Graduate School

“Serving God, Serving You” is more than a marketing campaign at Baptist University. It is what drives us to be the best online university we can be. “Serving God, Serving You” means that a college education is available for hard working adults who can’t give up their jobs to get a college degree. It means we give you credit for what you have already accomplished. It means we will customize a program that fits your prior education and experience… so you can succeed where God wants you.

Baptist University of America Inc. is a Mississippi corporation. It is a privately held corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi for the purpose of offering higher education to working people throughout the United States via the Internet. Baptist University of America is unashamedly and unapologetically a Christian institution.

The original Baptist University of America was born at different times in several Baptist churches spread over hundreds of miles. Aggressive soul-winning pastors wanted to provide education for their young people commensurate with the type of churches they were building.

Dr. Al Janney, pastor of New Testament Baptist Church, Miami, Florida, began college classes in 1965, and in 1971 incorporated the new institution as Baptist University of America. Dr. Ronald Schaffer, pastor of Temple Heights Baptist Church, Tampa, Florida, founded Temple Heights Christian College in 1973. Other pastors joined the venture in 1974: Dr. Rayburn Blair, Temple Baptist Church, Tallahassee Christian College; Dr. Frank Shiver, Regency Baptist Church, Regency Baptist College; and Rev. Jack Dinsbeer, University Baptist Church, University Baptist College. Two others who were contemplating beginning a college college joined: Dr. Curtis Hutson, Forrest Hills Baptist Church, Decatur, Georgia, and Dr. Cecil Hodges, Bible Baptist Church, Savannah, Georgia.
