About the Missions Emphasis

The Missions Emphasis is designed to challenge and equip students to carry out the Great Commission. Great emphasis is placed on establishing local, independent Baptist churches at home and abroad.

Students who are enrolled in our Missions program will develop a practical understanding of missions through mission survey trips, interact with missionaries in and out of the classroom, observe and participate in local church missions (especially the annual Missions Conference and various missions trips at Tri-City Baptist Church), learn in the classroom setting from active directors of mission boards and others experienced in missions, and explore the practical aspects of missions such as deputation, mission boards, and supporting churches.

Your Future

  • Bible Teacher
  • Camp Ministry Leader
  • Church Administrator
  • Church Planter
