About the college

God’s Word in Action

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. ~ Proverbs 29:18

Vision Baptist College exists to develop the Christian who is wholly committed to Christ and His church. Students will be challenged, led, and equipped to be a leader who can impact the world for Jesus Christ through witnessing, a commitment to the Word of God, and a passion for the ministry of the local church.

This vision is made evident through powerful preaching and teaching, practical hands-on training, and personal mentorship from the faculty of Vision Baptist College as well as the staff and church members of Solid Rock Baptist Church.
