Welcome to Mountaineer Baptist College



We are experiencing delays in answering correspondence & grading assignments due to the COVID-19 virus.

Training men and women for Christian services!

Mountaineer Baptist College was established in 1990. It began under the leadership of Dr. Bob Ream and the Hillview Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. During those early years the school began an aggressive ministry with an emphasis to teach the Bible to both resident students and correspondence students as well. In the fall of 2000 the school was relocated to Salem where it currently resides. As a ministry of the Lighthouse Baptist Church, Dr. John Freeman (President) heads a staff of some 15 professors with the assistance of Dr. George Heitman (Vice-President), who has been with the school almost since its inception. Each professor is experienced in their fields of study and provides a quality program for anyone desiring a Bible education. The college is non-accredited. Yet, provides the student with the goal of serving Christ in and through their local church. There are currently over one hundred graduates of Mountaineer Baptist College located over the United States and around the world.
