As a ministry of West Gate Baptist Church, Florida Baptist College exists to train young men and women to carry out the Great Commission through a local church ministry. The desire of FBC is to find Christian young people whose hearts are tender towards the will of God and to prepare them to serve God through solid Bible teaching, academic excellence, and practical ministry experience. FBC's goal is that its graduates will be spiritually and practically equipped to reach the world for Jesus Christ through the ministries of local, independent, fundamental, Bible-believing Baptist churches.
