Convention, the College offers five baccalaureate degrees
in a caring, Christian environment that nurtures the whole
student. Students enjoy challenging academic programs in an unapologetically
Christian setting. Residential students participate in
a comprehensive campus life program involving student organizations,
intramural sports, campus ministry opportunities, and weekend
activities.
The College’s
mission statement is as follows:
Brewton-Parker College
offers an undergraduate education that is committed to
academic excellence, grounded in the
liberal arts tradition, and informed by the Christian faith.
The College’s heritage as a Georgia Baptist institution
produces a concern for individuals that motivates our community
to nurture and develop the whole student in a caring, Christian
environment.
Faculty members serve as teacher-scholars promoting intellectual
inquiry that develops the mind and spirit. Students study
the traditional liberal arts and sciences, and selected
professional and pre-professional programs, at the campus
in Mount Vernon and designated external locations. Activities
both inside and outside the classroom afford students opportunities
for intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth
that prepare them for meaningful service to their local,
regional, and global communities.

Faith and Learning Statement
Brewton-Parker College is
founded on faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God, and the
affirmation that since all truth comes from God, the academic
search for truth is compatible with faith in God. Therefore,
the faculty at Brewton-Parker College has a proud heritage
of valuing the importance of faith and learning. Throughout
our history, we have attempted to provide a liberal arts
education grounded in the understanding of the Christian
tradition.
In this faith and learning
statement, we reiterate our commitments to the following
historic principles of church related education. The principle
of soul competency, the worth
of the individual, and the freedom of individual conscience
are respected as foundational to the student’s role
in the learning process. The principle of the priesthood
of the believer affirms
the equality of all students in the learning process.
Dedicated
to academic freedom, Brewton-Parker’s faculty members
continue to be committed to using their God-given talents
to seek truth in all lines of scholarship. In doing so,
they aspire, as they feel led, to encourage their colleagues
and students to integrate their personal faith into their
teaching, learning, and interactions. They also strive
to promote a sincere spirit of Christ-like tolerance; to
provide an open and nurturing environment to explore all
intellectual avenues; and to strive to act toward others,
both inside and outside the classroom, in a manner that
honors the example set by Christ.
