Let Us Introduce Shawnee Baptist College
Shawnee Baptist College is a ministry of Shawnee Baptist Church—a
growing, soul-winning, independent, Baptist church. Under the leadership of
Pastor Lonnie Mattingly, Shawnee Baptist Church increased from a handful of
faithful members to a church with an average attendance of over 1,000. God is
continuing to work through the ministry of our Pastor Dave Delaney. The goal
of magnifying Christ is now just as strong as ever.
Shawnee Baptist College was launched as another endeavor to reach
more souls for Christ. The college has several sister ministries under the church
umbrella which include the following:
o Northside Christian School
o Indian Creek Baptist Camp
o Bus ministry that reaches hundreds each week
o Enthusiastic youth department
o Active music department which includes an adult choir, an orchestra,
singing groups, soloists, and instrumentalists
o New Life Communications
o Iglesia Bautista Shawnee (Spanish ministry)
o Reformers Unanimous
o Outreach opportunities in jails, hospitals, and nursing homes
Today, perhaps more than at any other time, Christian workers need to
be thoroughly prepared before entering the full-time ministry. Students must be
solidly grounded in the Word, be skillful in church procedures, and have a
vision of what God can do through them. SBC is in a unique position to address
each of these areas.
The first step of quality education begins with quality teachers. SBC
has a staff that is well-qualified, knowledgeable and actively involved in
Shawnee Baptist Church. The faculty also includes proven pastors and
missionaries. These teachers are dedicated to guiding students in a biblical and
academically strong program.
The second step in training students is to have them see firsthand how a
local New Testament church operates as an institution ministering to people’s
needs. They need to see the large number of volunteers and paid staff doing the
work of the Lord under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Every student has the
opportunity to be involved in every ministry of Shawnee Baptist Church. This
strong desire to give students the opportunity to serve has led to the internship
program. This program is unique in that it allows students the opportunity to
take their first steps toward full-time Christian service with the support and
guidance of experienced spiritual mentors.
4
The third most important part of the training program is vision. Pastor
Emeritus Lonnie Mattingly came to Shawnee Baptist Church in December of
1972 with a vision and sense of urgency for souls. This vision has inspired,
challenged, and encouraged the people of the church to walk with God. As time
has passed, other men of God with this same vision have been led to join the
staff of Shawnee Baptist Church. Pastor Dave Delaney caught this vision while
growing up in the church and continues to implement these principles at both
Shawnee Baptist Church and Shawnee Baptist College. The students of SBC are
in just the place to catch this same vision, feel its urgency, and implement what
they learn both while they are in college and when they enter the future place of
service God has for them. The Lord Jesus Christ is continuing to do wonderful
things through the ministry of Shawnee Baptist College. What an exciting time
to be serving Christ at Shawnee!

GENERAL INFORMATION
Mission Our mission is to glorify God by equipping saints to serve Him. Each
student is trained to live by Scriptural principles; and to labor to fulfill our
Lord’s Great Commission. Our goal is to cultivate Christian maturity and
Biblical Wisdom.
Philosophy
Shawnee Baptist College is dedicated to the philosophy of developing
Christian character. We are committed to keeping a deeply spiritual atmosphere
while seeking to maintain a scholastic level that will prepare our graduates for
Christian service. Basic principles which find their source in the doctrinal
statement of the church are the foundational concepts from which our program
derives its content and direction.
1. Because God has given His Word to us as an authoritative guide, two basic
principles serve to guide the program of Shawnee Baptist College:
a. The overall program of the school must agree with the Word of God.
This agreement refers not only to activities but also to the principles
upon which those activities are based. The teaching methods,
counseling techniques, financial policies, and guidelines pertaining to
campus life must all be in accord with God’s Word.
b. The curriculum must be Biblical both in the sense of being rich in
Bible content and in the sense that every subject must be taught from a
Biblical perspective.
2. The purpose of the college is to bring glory to the Lord. This will be done
primarily in two areas:
a. Based on John 15:8 and Matthew 28:19-20 we will train students to
reach the lost by building soul-winning churches and training
others to do likewise.
b. Based on 2 Timothy 2:15, we will equip students for a lifetime of
profitable Bible study and teaching.
c. To accomplish out desired ends. Strong academic training will be
combined with our internship program.
3. It is our responsibility to exercise the opportunity we have to minister to each
student. We purpose to train young people in the work of building soul-
winning churches and to prepare the students for a lifetime of profitable
Bible study.
9
Statement of Faith 1. The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's
revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It
has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture
of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and
trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore
is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian
union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and
religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ,
who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.
2. We believe that the Bible is preserved in the Masoretic Hebrew Text, the
Greek Textus Receptus, and in the King James Version for the English-
speaking people. The King James Version alone is authorized for use in
preaching and teaching.
3. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, and that through
Adam’s sin incurred death. We believe that all human beings are conceived
with a sinful nature and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility,
become sinners in thought and deed by choice.
5. We believe that Satan is a created being who sinned and became the chief
adversary of God and His creation. He has, at his command, a great host of
fallen angels and demons to carry out his purpose. His doom is sealed in the
Lake of Fire forever and ever.
6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of all mankind as a
substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who by faith receive Him as their
personal Savior are justified on the basis of His shed blood on Calvary and
His resurrection from the dead.
7. We believe that the visible local church is a company of believers in Jesus
Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith, and associated for
worship, Bible teaching and preaching, and fellowship. The local church is
autonomous and self-governing with no ecclesiastical organization in
authority over it. We further believe that there are two ordinances: baptism
of believers by immersion and the Lord’s Supper.
8. We believe that the “Blessed Hope” of the believer is the personal, bodily,
pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord and
Savior for His Church (the rapture) and His latter return to earth in power
and glory with His saints to set up His Millennial Kingdom. We believe in
the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the lost.
9. We believe that believers are called to a life of separation from all worldly
and sinful practices and alliances. We believe that a Christian should
10
manifest Christ in a consistent walk, constantly yielding his members to the
indwelling Spirit of God.
10. We believe that the Scriptural stewardship of finances includes the
systematic and proportionate giving of the tithe and offerings to support the
local church. We believe that God has entrusted to the Christian his life,
time, talent, influence, money, goods, and all things he possesses; and, as a
steward of these possessions, the Christian is to administer them in the will
of God.
11. We believe that civil government is established by God for the interest and
good of human society. Magistrates are to be prayed for and conscientiously
honored and obeyed, except in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus
Christ, Who is the only Lord of the kings of the earth.
This is a condensed version of the statement of faith for Shawnee Baptist
Church. The Church’s statement explains in more detail the above positions
and shall be the final authority in this matter.
11
Location Shawnee Baptist College is located in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky.
The metropolitan area of Louisville is home to nearly 1,000,000 people. Because
Louisville annually hosts the Kentucky Derby, it is known as the “Derby City.”
Three major interstates cross the city: I-65, I-64, and I-71. SBC is a 15-minute
drive from the Louisville Airport. Though the college is located in a
metropolitan area, lovely rolling hills and bluegrass horse farms are only a few
miles away.
Accreditation
Shawnee Baptist College has not sought any form of accreditation from
any outside organization. Our authorization for existence is found in Matthew
28:18-20. Jesus authorized the church to win, baptize, and teach disciples;
Shawnee Baptist College is a logical outgrowth of the Great Commission. Jesus
Christ clearly taught the concept of jurisdiction in Matthew 22:21 and the Bible
clearly teaches this same idea throughout its pages. God created and authorized
three institutions: the home, human government, and the Church. As Bible-
believing Baptists, we strive to follow the teachings and principles clearly laid
out in God’s Word; therefore, we believe that the government has no jurisdiction
in the teaching and training activities of the Church.
Although Shawnee does not seek accreditation, the college strives for
and maintains academic excellence. All of our instructors are college graduates,
and many have advanced degrees. Our graduates are serving Christ in a variety
of positions including the following: pastor, assistant pastor, youth pastor,
missionary, evangelist, camp director, music director, college instructor,
administrator, Christian school teacher, office administrator, secretary, and a
variety of secular positions. Many colleges (both accredited and non-accredited)
have accepted transfer credits from Shawnee Baptist College.
The transfer of credits is solely up to the receiving institution and any
concerns regarding the transfer of credit earned at Shawnee to another institution
should be addressed to the academic dean of Shawnee Baptist College as well as
the institution to which the student may wish to transfer.
Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 In accordance with federal law, Shawnee Baptist College complies with
the Buckley Amendment to protect the privacy of educational records, to
establish the right of students to inspect and review their records, to provide
guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data, and to protect the
12
student’s right to privacy by limiting the disclosure of his records without his
consent.
Internship Program The internship program at Shawnee Baptist College is designed to
prepare each student with practical “hands-on” experience in various fields and
to correlate the classroom teaching received with the laboratory of human
experience. The internship plays an important role in the development of
students by providing them opportunities for learning through actual practice.
Every full-time student is required to participate in the internship
program. If the student is in the local area and from a different church, he may
choose to fulfill the requirements in his own church under the supervision of
both his home pastor and a faculty member of SBC. Each student will be
directly involved in the development of special programs and various other
duties within the scope of the internship. Credit toward graduation will be
earned for each completed internship.
Although academics are an integral part of the college experience, they
alone cannot provide the student with the practical training necessary to prepare
him for a lifetime of service for Christ. The internship program is designed to
meet this need.
13
ADMISSIONS
General Information Applicants must give testimony of salvation, display good character,
and desire to serve Christ with their lives. They must have an earned high
school diploma, a high school equivalency diploma or certificate (issued by the
State Department of Education), or pass the General Education Development
(GED) test. Home-schoolers must provide a transcript of courses and grades or
GED scores. In addition, applicants must submit their results from the
American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The ACT
is preferred.
A Special Student is one not enrolled in a degree or diploma program.
This classification includes those taking a minimal number of courses and those
who are full-time students elsewhere taking courses to transfer credits. A
completed application is required.
Transfer Students – It is our policy to accept credits earned at another
institution of collegiate level with the following provisions:
1. Only grades of C or better will be accepted.
2. Courses accepted must be of comparable content and quality to
those offered by SBC.
3. Courses that are not of comparable content may be accepted as
elective credits.
4. A minimum of 32 credits must be taken in residence at SBC before
graduation in any program.
We reserve the right to deny the acceptance of any credits deemed to be
unsatisfactory or inadequate.

Orientation Attendance at orientation is required of all students each semester.
College policies, procedures, and schedules are explained at this time.
Non-Discrimination Shawnee Baptist College does not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, or physical abilities in administering its
educational policies and school-sponsored programs.
Re-Application If a student is out of school more than one semester, he must re-apply.
If he is out for more than a calendar year, an updated pastor’s reference is
required. When a student is re-admitted after an absence of more than six
calendar months, the catalog current at the time of re-admission applies.
15
STUDENT LIFE
Shawnee Baptist College believes that students should experience a
godly environment that incudes enjoying fellowship and service with fellow
Christians.
Christian Service Shawnee Baptist Church provides many opportunities to serve Christ.
All students must participate in one or more of the following ministries: Sunday
school, bus ministry, children's church, jail ministry, nursing home ministry,
Spanish church, or Reformers Unanimous. All students pursuing a bachelor's
degree must be involved in the bus ministry for a minimum of two semesters.
Chapel Attendance Chapel at SBC is one of the highlights of the school week. Nationally-
known leaders in fundamentalism, lesser-known preachers who are faithfully
serving Christ, and the staff of Shawnee Baptist Church provide practical
instruction and vibrant exhortation to the student body and staff.
Dormitories Single students under 23 years of age whose home is beyond a
reasonable daily commute must stay in the dormitory.
Dormitory students must furnish sheets, blankets, bedspread, and
pillow for a single bed. They are also expected to provide their own towels,
washcloths, and other personal items. Meals are provided on a daily basis in the
college cafeteria.
Participation Every student is expected to participate in the learning process through
homework, special papers and/or research projects, and class discussion. These
avenues of learning, combined with the internship program, provide well-
rounded training that is both theoretical and practical and that develops the
intellectual competence and technical proficiency needed to effectively minister
in today’s world. In addition to their internship responsibilities, all students must
participate weekly in the soul-winning visitation program of the Shawnee
Baptist Church.
Employment The metropolitan area of Louisville is home to a solid economy. Job
opportunities abound in both Louisville and the Southern Indiana region. In
16
addition to employment opportunities in the area, a limited number of work
scholarship jobs are available each semester. Contact the college office for a
work scholarship application.
Church Attendance All students are expected to manifest the highest standards of Christian
living and conduct at all times. They are required to attend all regular church
services of Shawnee Baptist Church unless permission to miss has been granted
in advance by the administration. Sunday school, Sunday morning and evening
services, Wednesday night prayer meeting, and all special services are times of
spiritual instruction and encouragement that will bolster each student's spiritual
life.
Standards of Conduct and Dress Because Shawnee Baptist College believes the Bible is truly God’s
word, it is the standard for all we believe and do. SBC expects students to obey
the Word of God, to display godly character, and to exercise self-discipline.
Practices that violate Scriptural commands will not be tolerated. SBC reserves
the right to dismiss or refuse to enroll anyone whose personal conduct or attitude
is not consistent with the Christian spirit and standards SBC seeks to maintain.
In a day of shifting standards, it is imperative that SBC carefully define and
enforce its standards and rules of conduct. These are carefully discussed each
semester.
Prospective students should assess their willingness to abide by these
standards during their student days. Students who are not comfortable in such a
setting cannot enjoy the maximum benefits of college. Standards fashion
character, build spiritual maturity, and foster professional growth.
At SBC, we want our students to be clearly distinguishable as Christian
men and women. Clothing should appear neat at all times. Extremes in fashion
must be avoided. No hairstyle or clothing style will be allowed which is judged
by the administration to be worldly, sloppy in appearance, flashy, or non-
conformist. Clothing or other items that promote or identify the student with
questionable products or people, unisex items including extreme boy-cut hair
styles on ladies, and styles considered by the administration to be in bad taste
are prohibited.
Student Handbook Each semester, students must read and agree to abide by the rules in the
student handbook. The handbook provides guidelines that help ensure that
proper standards are followed by all students. Failure to abide by these rules
will result in the disciplinary measures as stated in the handbook.
17
FINANCES
General Information One of the goals of Shawnee Baptist Church is to keep the cost of
education to the student as modest as possible. Neither the church nor the
college receives government or denominational funds but rather is dependent
upon God's people for support. A large part of the cost of SBC is underwritten
by Shawnee Baptist Church, but Shawnee Baptist Church cannot provide a
college education at no cost to the student. SBC believes it will be successful as
the Lord provides, and as students do their part by being faithful stewards in
fulfilling their obligations. In anticipation of college and its related expenses,
students should make adequate preparation to meet the need.
The student's grade reports and transcripts will not be issued until all
financial obligations are fully met and the student's account balance is zero.
Students may purchase necessary books and supplies from the college
bookstore.
Scholarships

Work Scholarship A limited number of work scholarships are available. All wages earned
are applied directly to the student’s financial account. Application must be
made at least two months prior to the start of the semester. Approved students
will be notified several weeks prior to the beginning of the semester to discuss
starting dates. Many other jobs are available through the college and in the
Louisville area. Contact the college office for more information.

Those who feel called to serve God in full-time Christian service will
experience a balanced academic program and will also have the privilege of
seeing and knowing the example and influence of a Christ-honoring, growing
church.
These programs of study will produce spiritually and intellectually
prepared saints ready to live effective, fruitful Christian lives that are firmly
grounded in Scriptural convictions, and to develop a burden to reach the
spiritually lost with the Gospel of Christ. Our programs of study serve as the
basic preparation needed by those who would be pastors, missionaries,
evangelists, assistant pastors, Christian school teachers, and those who desire to
serve Christ in other church-related ministries.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
This program is designed for the student who has not yet decided on a
particular vocational path. The multidisciplinary major will provide a broad
range of both academic and Biblical studies while allowing the student to
prepare for entry into the workforce or for future graduate study. Rather than
declaring one major area of study, the student is allowed to focus on two or three
areas of academic concentration with a minimum of fifteen hours each. A list of
minors can be found on the following pages. Under certain circumstances and
with administrative approval, a student may be allowed to take courses at
another college and transfer those credits to SBC toward one of the academic
minors.
