About this School
Free Will Baptist Bible College is a private four-year college in Nashville, Tennessee. The college was founded in 1942 and is affiliated with the National Association of Free Will Baptists. Every student at the college is required to major in Bible; as a result, many (although not all) students are in preparation for careers as ministers or missionaries. FWBBC maintains a top-flight Music Department to train vocalists and instrumentalists. The college’s Teacher Education program provides teachers for public and private schools. Business Department graduates are in great demand by the Nashville business community. FWBBC enjoys growing Adult Degree and Distance-Learning programs. All students are involved in some type of Christian service outside the classroom, such as conducting services at jails and nursing homes, providing ministry for the homeless, working in local churches and more.
 
History
The National Association of Free Will Baptists founded Free Will Baptist Bible College in 1942 as a two-year institution. Eight students comprised the original student body. The college added a third year of study in 1949, a fourth year in 1950 and awarded its first Bachelor’s degrees to five seniors in 1951. Today the college enrolls about 380 students annually from approximately 25 states and several foreign countries. Various majors and minors, in addition to the required Bible major, are available in Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music Education degree programs. Two and three year Associate’s degree programs are also offered.
