Salt Lake Bible College (SLBC)
and Heritage Baptist College (HBCI)
Its
existence:
Salt Lake Bible College (SLBC)
was originally formed as an arm of Salt Lake Baptist
College to meet the needs of those who may or may not call themselves
Baptist. It then became an independent college in 2008 and
is now a college of the University of America in Temecula,
California. As of 2022 Salt Lake Baptist College ceased its
online operations and to meet the ongoing needs of current and
future students Heritage Baptist College, International, (HBCI)
began online operation in June of 2022 as a sub-division of SLBC
for Baptist students.
It is our belief that those Christians who
truly want to serve God need to know exactly what the Bible
teaches so that they will be able to then take that knowledge to
others and in so doing further the will of God in their lives.
We also believe that everyone, regardless of religious
background or a lack thereof, need the Word of God.
Therefore, anyone wanting to study with us will be accepted as a
student.
Its
purpose:
The
purpose of SLBC is to teach the Bible to those who need to be
grounded in solid biblical teachings rather than denominational
teachings and/or the teachings of liberal theologians who have
denied the faith under the banners of compromise and/or unbelief.
SLBC and HBCI are ministries of Heritage
Baptist Church of Salt Lake City, Utah,
which is an Independent Baptist
Church. Christ alone is the
head of Heritage Baptist Church and the Bible is its only rule of
faith and practice. Therefore, at Heritage Baptist Church and at the
colleges which are ministries of it, only those doctrines taught
in the scriptures are given credence and, therefore, only those
same doctrines are taught from the pulpit of the Church and the
courses of the Bible colleges.
How
long has it been here and its effectiveness?
Although Salt Lake Bible College itself
originally started in
September of 2007, as an arm of Salt Lake Baptist College (now no
longer operating online) SLBC draws
upon the essence of that college's (at that time) 27 years of existence and
experience in preparing men and women for the ministry by means of
solid, biblical, teachings. The majority of students of the
27 year ministry of Salt Lake Baptist College and the more recent
Salt Lake Bible College and Heritage Baptist College are either pastoring
or working in some sort of a supportive ministry (Sunday School teachers and/or
Christian School teachers, or as pastor's or worker's wives,
street preaching, etc.) or working in various outreach ministries
such as street preaching, jail and prison ministries, evangelism,
and revivalists winning souls and encouraging pastors and churches
through holding both tent and indoor meetings. Others are serving as home or foreign missionaries across North
America and around the world.
Some of those graduates are now perpetuating
the teaching ministry of the college at the churches where they
are now pastoring. This they are accomplishing through the
establishing of Bible Colleges and Bible Institutes in their
churches which are recognized as approved Study Centers of Salt Lake Bible
College and Heritage Baptist College, International, in 77
countries on every continent except Antarctica.
