I want to major in missions and also youth ministry during missions are after.

However, you need to make sure that your college years are an intense time of preparation and the benefits you receive from college will directly correlate from your approach and discipline.
1. What is your HS cumulative GPA?
2. What are you SAT/ACT test scores?
3. How would you characterize your study habits? -
If I was a young Southern Baptist and willing to leave home for an education, I would very seriously at Boyce Bible College in Louisville, on the campus of SBTS.
-
Boyce College, Louisville, KY
Clear Creek Baptist Bible College, Pineville, KY -
thanks for the info on Boyce it looks awesome and you guys helped a lot any more colleges let me know will check them out.

The texas schools are notoriously going downhill. They are doin' their darndest to appear conservative to keep churches. However, the BGCT and the schools associated with it are theological wastelands and ministerial cowpies.
- War the SBCT continuing to grow at the expence of the BGCT.

You will surely want to contact Southeastern College at Wake Forest. It shares the campus with Southeastern Seminary (SBC). It has a new college missions program called the 2 + 3 program. It is based on the 2 + 2 program in the Seminary. You would spend two years on the campus in Wake Forest, NC and then deploy for three years to the mission field working with veteran IMB Church Planting Missionaries as you complete your studies.
I am currently completing the Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies here at SEBTS.
Here is a link to the Southeastern College website:

The SBC leaders and the rival state convention SBTC (not SBCT) leaders continually attack the BGCT with false accusations. Their lack of concern for telling the truth reveals that they are not speaking words motivated by God, but instead, words motivated by sin and/or the evil one. -
I guess not much has changed since Jesus.
The fact is that I have met theological liberals who never study and plagiarize and are "in" the conservative camp. I have also met people who are very conservative who will tolerate some liberalism just so they don't have to put up with the legalism. There are good people on both sides and there are poor people on both sides.
I know a professor that teaches in a CBF school because he is tired of all the legalism. But he will hold your feet to the fire when it comes to interpretation and theology. He was probably the top professor in the SBC. There is hardly a seminary today that will put you through the rigors that he does to his undergraduate students.
Kind of reminds me of what Billy Graham wrote, On page 251 of Just As I Am: The Autobiography of Billy Graham, Billy Graham writes, "During this holy but hard time, letters to Ruth were my safety valve. In the intimacy of our partnership in the ministry, as well as our mutual love and respect, I could express myself to her as to few others. I smarted under grievous criticisms from fundamentalists, and I minced no words in telling her how I felt: '"Some of the things they say are pure fabrications.... I do not intend to get down to their mud slinging and get into endless arguments and discussions with them.... We are too busy winning souls to Christ and helping build the church to go down and argue with these... publicity-seekers.'" "I continued in the same vain: '"If a man accepts the deity of Christ and is living for Christ to the best of his knowledge, I intend to have fellowship with him in Christ. If this extreme type of fundamentalism was of God, it would have brought revival long ago. Instead it has brought dissension, strife, and has produced dead and lifeless churches.'"

I have been informed by the moderator that my response to Gunther was "beyond the pale and anything but Christlike".
The moderator suggested that I edit my post (which I am not allowed to do) and apologize.
Looking back at my post, I see how people could misunderstand my meaning at a few points so I shall clarify and make the appropriate apologies and points.
But given that fact that I assume that Gunther may be misled, it was inappropriate of me to assert that Gunther is knowingly spouting lies and distortions.
I want to publicly apologize for possibly inferring that Gunther is being personally dishonest.
But given the fact that the word “conservative” could mean something else entirely that has nothing to do with biblical values, I may have misjudged Gunther’s statement if he has specific evidence that BGCT schools are posturing themselves as something that they are not.
I apologize if Gunther did not equate being “conservative” with being “biblical”.
I apologize for my utter disrespect for his position if he was not using the Christian faith as a reference for his “theological wasteland” comment.
In regard to the BGCT schools somehow being “ministerial cowpies”, I can only say that Gunther is profoundly incorrect if he can find a correlation between bovine manure and BGCT schools (except for perhaps a livestock program offered at one of the West Texas schools).
I am a graduate of a BGCT school and know a number of people in theological education in those schools. Your statement is utterly (and udderly) without merit and deserves no respect because of its intent to malign the innocent.If somehow Gunther can make a correlation between animal feces (generally or specifically) to the quality of BGCT schools, I will reconsider my position.
I sincerely apologize for unintentionally ridiculing the mistakes in his sentence.
But I also contend that many who are involved in SBC and SBTC leadership and membership know that almost all of those attacks are based upon false and dishonest information and yet engage in (or do not oppose) those attacks.
Those people are doing the works of the evil one and they will be judged by God. -

It is sad to me that the only way some people can build up their postion is by tearing down things they know absolutely nothing about.
I can personally vouch for both Dallas Baptist and Hardin Simmons as outstanding universities. I am personally aquinted with professors and adminsitrators at each school. I friends daugther just graduated from Hardin Simmons and is now at SWBTS. She received an outstanding education, and is theologically conservative.
Keep up the good work -
No need to apologize Baptist Believer. Even Christ expressed indignation at times. Unfortunately, there is a dark shadow over Baptist work, whether it be SBC, SBTC or BGCT!
-
Indignation is one thing. A personal attack is quite another.
Let's stick to discussing the facts and opinions and leave the vituperation out of it. -
Baptist Believer--Generally when one apologizes for something one simply...
apologizes and then asks for forgivness, and does not go on to justify one's actions and continue to promote one's position in the same breath.
I'll it say again... argue the facts and leave off with the personal attacks. Let's keep it civil folks.
Yours in Christ,

For the record, I have stood up for people on “the other side” when they are falsely accused as well – I’ve taken quite a bit of heat for it too.
