## History

The Baptist College of Florida was founded in 1943 and is a cooperating ministry of the Florida Baptist Convention.[1][2] The school first opened its doors in Lakeland, Florida as the Florida Baptist Institute. Two years later, in 1945, it was renamed as the Baptist Bible Institute. The school moved to its present location in Graceville, Florida in 1953. In 1988, the school was renamed once more as the Florida Baptist Theological College. Finally, in 2000 it took on its current name as the Baptist College of Florida.[3]

It was originally focused on training Baptist ministers but now offers degrees in theology, music, counseling, education, and business. It is nationally accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
