“Temple Baptist College exists to equip Christians, without respect to race, color, or national origin, to serve Jesus Christ by providing an arts and sciences education with professional majors based upon the absolute values and tenets of the Christian faith as historically believed by Baptists.”

Therefore, Temple Baptist College is a Bible-centered institution of higher education with historic emphasis and strength in the arts and sciences education area and is designed as a professional college to prepare workers for the cause of Christ in a variety of service orientations.
 

The following specific educational objectives proceed from this mission statement:

1. To offer opportunities for concentrated studies in fields of learning that will prepare the individual for a life work or graduate studies.

2. To instill within the student the realization that God is the supreme center of all reality, and that academic and life-purpose is ultimately realized only through obedience to the revealed Will of God.

3. To develop within the student the skills that are essential to higher academic endeavors, with which they may more completely examine all knowledge and claims of truth, and to do so with absolute reliance upon Jesus Christ.

4. To provide opportunities for the development of Christian missionary zeal, and a soul-winning spirit.

5. To implant in the hearts and lives of the students the principle of “living by faith” in all fields of learning and all walks of life.
