6 HY BP G he ministry of assillon Baptist ollege was started in eptember of 1973 as an outreach ministry of assillon Baptist emple. his ministry came from the heart and vision of r. Bruce. ummons ( ), our ounder, as a natural development of emple Bible nstitute, its predecessor, which began in he college has focused its efforts on the education of men and women who were called of God into hristian service, and, therefore, is not in competition with other colleges. t is a faith-supported ministry providing a high-quality Bible education for those who may otherwise not be able to obtain such an education. B has graduates working in ministries around the world. ur graduates work as pastors, assistant pastors, music directors, youth directors, secretaries, etc., in over twentyeight states. ur missionary graduates serve in approximately twenty countries of the world. B stands firmly on the uthorized Version of the Bible (KJV 1611) and on all its principles and precepts. he college was started from a local ew estament Baptist church and teaches these distinctives to its students. H Y B Volume XV 6

7 U PUP he purpose of assillon Baptist ollege is to train God-called men and women for hristian service. tudents may be trained as pastors, evangelists, missionaries, hristian education directors, youth leaders, church musicians, choir directors, church secretaries, or unday school teachers. lso, laymen may take courses to better equip themselves in their hristian lives. he college is a local church ministry and places strong emphasis on the ministry and work of the local church. Believing that much can be learned by observation and participation, we require all students to attend the services of assillon Baptist emple, unless they currently reside in the area and are faithfully attending a fundamental, Biblebelieving church. fter the second year of study, students may work in other churches with permission of the college. U P U P ur desire is to give students a thorough working knowledge of the Word of God. he only Bible we use is the uthorized Version (KJV 1611). ur purpose is to train people in the work of building soul-winning churches at home and on the foreign mission field. egardless of the field of service a student plans to enter, he will be trained in evangelism and soul winning. very student will be required to go on visitation each week. We invite students to come to assillon Baptist ollege to be well trained by preachers and teachers who are actively engaged in the ord s work, and who are getting the job done for hrist. tudents will receive blessing, instruction, and inspiration from the services and ministries of the assillon Baptist emple (known across the nation as H HUH H W BU BB HG! ). assillon Baptist ollege is a place where pastors train pastors, teachers train teachers, and missionaries train missionaries. We believe all earnest students will leave B well equipped. Volume XV 7
