Parent Testimonial

"Every faculty, staff, professor [...] everyone is invested in these kids. Not only their education, but equally their [...] spiritual aspect of their life[...] the calling that God has on their future. And for us as parents, I don't think there's anything more we could ask for."

Why Parents Love TBC

Core Values

Grace Filled

In all we do, we seek to practice a posture of biblical grace toward one other, throughout the Southern Baptist Convention, and within our communities.

Christ Centered

Jesus Christ is at the center of who we are, what we believe, what we confess, what we teach, and what we seek to practice. The totality of our Christian worldview determines our commitments and orients our perspective. As ambassadors for the Kingdom of God, we are called to be salt and light in a fallen world.

Scripturally Grounded

The Bible is the primary textbook in every classroom at Southwestern Seminary. All our curriculum is built on and every member of our faculty is dedicated to the unchanging, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.

Confessionally Guided

The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 outlines our core doctrines as an institution.

Student Focused

The focus of all we do is serving students so that they may be deployed for maximum Kingdom impact wherever else God may call. We are a college that connects our students with other believers communally, academically, and spiritually.

Globally Engaged

Our vision for education and ministry is guided by the words of the risen Christ in Matthew 28:19-20: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you” (CSB).

Texas Baptist College students think biblically, reason truthfully, and share God’s Word effectively. At TBC, community is key to the way students are formed to be difference-makers in their world, with spiritual formation as the foundation. Prospective students and their parents can have complete confidence in the faculty who will be teaching them in the classroom and beyond. Our faculty are not only experts in their academic fields, but they also love, serve, and will lead their students to love the local church.

Wherever God calls, we'll help you get there.

You are called to obey the Great Commandment, and you are called to pursue the Great Commission. So we will encourage you to love God with all you are, and we will equip you to serve God wherever He calls. Whether you’re headed to ministry, the marketplace, or anywhere in between, we will help you find your calling.
