MISSION STATEMENT "The mission of Faith Baptist Bible College is to provide an intensive biblical, vocational, and general education on the college level with the goal of preparing students to minister effectively in Christian service through leadership positions in and through fundamental Baptist churches and other organizations of like convictions." HISTORY In 1921 , Dr. William H. Jordan, Pastor of Third Presbyterian Church of Omaha , Nebraska founded Omaha Bible Institute as a Nondenominational school for the purpose of training Christian workers for the Ministry . He continued as the school's President for many years. In the 1950s , the institute changed its name to Omaha Baptist Bible Institute and sought the support of Baptist organizations. In 1956, the council of the General Association Of Regular Baptist Churches approved OBBI. The school broadened its programs and again changed its name to Omaha Baptist Bible College. In the 1960s , the college outgrew its Omaha facilities, relocated to its present campus in Ankeny, and changed its name again to Faith Baptist Bible College. In the 1980s , declining enrollment at Denver Baptist Bible College caused DBBC and FBBC to merge. FBBC also added a Seminary , Faith Baptist Theological Seminary, at that time. FBTS now offers four Master Of Arts programs and the Master Of Divinity program. Dr. Richard W. Houg has served as president since 1994 . In September 2005 , he announced his Resignation , effective May 2006 . He is on leave of absence until that time. In Dr. Houg's absence, seminary Dean Dr. John Hartog III is serving as Acting President. PRESIDENTS
