Dr. Jon M. Jenkins
President & Founder
Grace Baptist College

Grace Baptist Bible Institute was started in 1993 as a ministry of Grace Baptist Church with the express desire to train both young men and women who have surrendered their lives to serve the Lord full time and faithful church members who have a desire to be more effective in their Christian service.

Following the Lord's leading, Dr. Jon Jenkins prayerfully considered the opportunity to purchase the current college property. Through the labor of God's people and a generous gift from our co-founder, the buildings and property were secured.

In the fall of 2003, Grace Baptist College began offering a complete daytime college format, passing on the mantle that the Grace Baptist Bible Institute had carried for ten years.
