Over a decade ago, the late Dr. Wayne Van Gelderen, Sr. expressed his burden for a new fundamental college that would train leaders for the local church through the local church. His son, Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen, Jr., shared that burden, and, with the overwhelming support of the people of Falls Baptist Church, established Baptist College of Ministry in the summer of 1998.

At Baptist College of Ministry, students are taught to interpret the Scripture from a biblically dispensational approach, using a literal, grammatical, historical, contextual hermeneutic. The shortcomings of other positions, including covenant theology and progressive dispensationalism, are clearly presented.
