The Reason for our Existence
The need among Baptists is to declare our distinctive principles.  We need to emphasize over and again those doctrines and practices which distinguish us from other religions and denominations, and which warrant our existence.

We have nearly lost our identity in a maze of compromise, and sadly, many no longer feel the importance of our mission and commission.  Many no longer feel that we possess the truth and are responsible to take that truth into all the world.  All too often our voice has been softened so it blends with the chorus of "accepted religion" and that which is "politically correct."  In striving for success (numbers), we have compromised our distinctive principles and identifying doctrines.

Just as it is essential that Baptist preachers and churches stand forth and identify themselves, so it is with Bible schools and colleges.

Here at the Grace Baptist Bible Institute, we emphasize the distinctive Baptist doctrines.  We emphasize all the basic fundamental doctrines of God's Word (using the King James Version only) - the plenary verbal inspiration of the Scriptures; the one true God; Christ, the incarnate Word of God and only Savior; the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity; man; sin; Satan; heaven; hell; the second coming of Christ.  We also emphasize the distinctive Baptist doctrines of salvation by grace alone, the eternal security of the saved soul, the local church (the only kind of church of which the Scripture informs us), Baptist baptism, closed communion, and the independency of each church, which is responsible only to the membership and to God.

Our Purpose
Our purpose is to train God-called preachers, pastors, evangelists, missionaries, Sunday school teachers, and others in the Word of God and to send them forth to win the lost, to establish and build real Baptist churches, which in turn win, baptize and teach.

Emphasis will not only be given to intensive classroom study, but also to practical training in winning the lost and building churches.
