Effective use of the Word of God

Mountain States Baptist College is a Fundamentalist, four-year Biblical arts college that stands for the faith once delivered unto the saints. Only the King James Bible is used in the classroom (the Textus Receptus in the Greek classes). Every student at Mountain States majors in the Bible. Students are not only taught the Bible, but they are given the tools to be more effective in their study and teaching the word of God.

Mountain States Baptist College offers the following Biblical programs of study:

  • Bible and Pastoral Studies, B.A., A.A.
  • Biblical Studies, B.A., A.S. and two-year diploma
  • Bible and Christian Education, B.S., A.S.
  • Bible and Vocational Sciences, B.S.
  • (Two-years of Biblical Studies in conjunction with a two-year diploma in a complementary vocation.)
  • Bible Institute Certificate (Monday night classes for the lay-person)

Practical Training

The practical experience for those planning to preach or teach are unlimited. By being a ministry of Fairview Baptist Church, Mountain States provides the local church atmosphere that is best for those planning to be trained to serve the Lord in a local church ministry or in a ministry that is the extension of a local church. Pastoral students have many opportunities each semester to preach in the various outreaches of the local church. Students are involved in Door-to-Door Soulwinning, Sunday School Teaching, Bus Ministry, Children\'s Church, Anchor Clubs , Teen Ministry, Day School Chapel, College Chapel, Rescue Mission, Nursing Homes, Jail Ministry, Choir, Reformers Unanimous, and other ministries. The college is also associated with a modular Christian Day School ("A.C.E.") which provides practical training for those interested in Christian education. Because the college uses the facilities of a local church, the tuition costs are lower than those of most Bible colleges. The college does not have dormitories, but a variety of apartments are available in the area (the cost of living here is very reasonable).

Experienced Leadership

The faculty of Mountain States Baptist College are well qualified both experientially and academically. Dr. Richard Dion, President of the College, has been the Pastor of the Fairview Baptist Church for over thirty-seven years and is an inductee into the Fundamentalist Hall of Fame at Lucerne, California, and the Baptist Hall of Fame in Great Falls, Montana.

Mountain States Baptist college is...

  • approved for the training of veterans.
  • authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. (they must have a fully responsible sponsor in the states)
  • approved by the Board of Regents of the Montana University System to offer degrees.
  • recognized and commended by the Inter-Mountain Baptist Fellowship.

Individual Attention

Being a smaller school, Mountain States Baptist College offers a lot more personal attention per student from a caring faculty. The faculty, together and individually, pray regularly for all their students. They are concerned for both the spiritual and academic development of their students. Most students at Mountain States are married and have families; this creates a mature, family atmosphere at the college where students care about each other and are serious about preparing for the ministry.

Away from the big city Montana is referred to as ?Big Sky Country? and Great Falls is perfectly situated between glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. Though being the third largest city in Montana, Great Falls has a population under sixty thousand and is free from smog and choked freeways. There are plenty of jobs available that fit around the student\'s class schedule.

If you are called into the ministry (or just desire some practical Biblical knowledge) Please prayerfully consider attending Mountain States Baptist College.
