Read MoreMentoring God-Fearing Leaders
Much has been written about mentoring. The abbreviated mission statement that serves as the motto for International Baptist College and Seminary is “mentoring God-fearing leaders into ministry.” Mentoring is an integral part of the ethos of our college and a central aspect of our leadership development.
