Heritage Bible College Heritage Bible College



In 1970 the Pentecostal Free Will Baptist (PFWB) Church felt the need for the organization to have a higher educational institution where ministers and laymen could be trained for the ministry of the church.

On June 7, 1971, the denomination board voted in favor of Dr. Herbert Carter and Dr. O. Talmadge Spence starting a Bible College for the Pentecostal Free Will Baptist denomination.

On June 25, 1971, the Articles of Incorporation were completed. It was decided that the name of the corporation would be Heritage Bible College, chosen to portray the vision the founding fathers had for the school "contending for the historical faith of the church." The intent was and is to maintain our position as a college of Pentecostal tradition and vision through educational integrity and Biblical truth. The strength of Heritage Bible College is its commitment to prepare graduates to be effective workers in the kingdom of God.



The mission of Heritage Bible College is to develop Christ-centered men and women of Christian character, equipped at the college-level with skills for ministry and committed to a life of Christian service.
