The Baptist College, Obinze, which was previously named Joint Baptist Pastors School, was founded on September 30, 1977. The vision for establishing the institution at the onset was to train Pastors who would meet the yearnings of hundreds of churches that were springing up in towns and villages of the then Western States of Nigeria.
In the year 2000, the school metamorphosed into a degree-awarding institution and was renamed Baptist College of Theology, Obinze. The Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) is the proprietor of the College, while the President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention is the visitor to the College.
To equip God-called men and women spiritually and academically for the propagation of the gospel of Christ and centre; leadership of local churches and other organisations.
To consistently provide excellent theological training under the leadership of the Holy Spirit for God-called men and women for the propagation of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and for providing leadership for the local churches and other organisations.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence.
Having become students of this College and having bound ourselves together in Christian love or mutual understanding and cooperation in accordance with the College’s rules and regulations and knowing full well that we are accountable to God and the Institution,
We provide a theological education that is done in the context of a community that is intentionally planned to provide a conducive environment where lives are shaped and moulded for the Master’s use, whether it be for full-time ministry or for more meaningful participation in the body of Christ.
