Events

We would like to welcome you to join us in these upcoming events and conferences!

10/40 Prayer Conference

Join us as we partner together with churches around the globe to pray for the 10/40 region of the world. This is normally held during the first week in September.

Alumni Homecoming Week

Alumni Homecoming Week is among one of the favorite weeks of the semester for many students and staff, as well as the alumni who come back to campus. It is designed to provide fellowship among former students, interaction with current students, and a good dose of challenging preaching that will both encourage and help everyone who attends.

If you were a student at Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College (1967-1998) or Heartland Baptist Bible College (1998-present), or if you would just like to get to know some current or former students, this is a great week to visit campus.

Ministry Refresher Institute

The Ministry Refresher Institute is a 3-day conference held on the campus of Heartland Baptist Bible College. Our purpose is to refresh men and women already serving in the ministry- whether they are pastors, pastors’ wives, evangelists, missionaries, or staff members. The MRI is designed to sharpen your ministry tools so that you will be better equipped to serve your local congregation. It will also be a time of encouragement, as you have ample opportunity to fellowship with like-minded pastors, staff members, and laymen.

FAQs

How many majors does Heartland offer?

Heartland offers 15 majors across 6 academic departments. The majors include 4-year programs in a variety of pastoral, missions, youth ministries, education, and music disciplines, as well as a 2-year Ministry Secretarial program and a 1-year Bible Certificate program. See the complete list of majors and the course catalog here .

Is Heartland a local church ministry?

Because Heartland is not organized as a ministry of one specific church, perhaps you’ve wondered:

• Is Heartland a local church ministry, or is it a parachurch organization?

• Can our church send students to Heartland when we believe ministry training is a local church responsibility?

• Why is Heartland not under the exclusive authority of Southwest Baptist Church?

These are reasonable questions that warrant clear answers. We are passionate about biblical church doctrine, which means we’re glad to explain how a high view of the local church can co-exist with fervent support for Heartland.

How does Heartland support students academically?

Heartland desires for all students to thrive academically and provides multiple layers of academic support. All students are assigned to an academic department through which the student’s department chair is available to answer program-related questions and to give academic counsel. The Academic Affairs Office monitors students’ academic progress and provides guidance for those who need additional support. Instructors view their teaching responsibilities as a ministry to students and are eager to offer personalized help. Tutors are also available for a variety of subjects.

All of these support layers (and more) reinforce our care for students.

What quality of education will I receive at Heartland?

Heartland’s administration and board of directors (comprised of 22 pastors) are dedicated to excellence in ministry training without the influence of any accreditation association led by theologians from other denominations. Because the college is not entangled in bureaucratic accreditation processes, Heartland’s resources can be focused on giving students a high-quality education that prepares them for real-life Christian service. This quality of education is rooted in instructors’ personal walk with God and extensive ministry experience, as well as the leadership’s high academic standards. Through purposefully designed curriculum—and enriching and practical instruction—students are challenged to devote their minds to Christ, which gives them grace to excel in the academic rigors they encounter.
