OUR PURPOSE The Missionary Baptist Seminary exists to train workers for the cause of Christ through His churches. OUR PHILOSOPHY We have absolute confidence in the Bible as the inspired Word of God. We believe it is able to make wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and that it is able to thoroughly equip the child of God for every good work. The Missionary Baptist Seminary is a Bible school. The Bible is taught reverently to increase the student's skills in Christian ministry. We believe the student has not learned until he or she possesses a Christ-like spirit. WE PROMISE TO PROVIDE Christian love and fellowship Quality instruction in the Word of God Practical training for ministry WE ASK FOR Devotion to Christ Diligence in studies Dedication to service HISTORY OF MISSIONARY BAPTIST SEMINARY Antioch Missionary Baptist Church has owned and operated the Missionary Baptist Seminary since 1934. The church established the seminary after the Missionary Baptist College of Sheridan, Arkansas, closed because of the Great Depression. The need for a sustainable, credible Bible School moved the church to call Dr. J. Louis Guthrie, a Baptist preacher and educator, to serve as the founding President. Dr. Ben Bogard, the pastor of the church, and Dr. C.N. Glover of Sheridan and board member of the Missionary Baptist College, with Dr. Guthrie organized the Seminary to give affordable yet excellent Bible teaching and ministering training. |  |
