About Our Institution
Who we are
A Brief History
The General Baptist Bible College (GBBC) was established in 1965 as an answer to an appeal from the local General Baptist Churches for a much needed training school for national church workers. The school opened its doors to learners at the old rented building located at the corner of Quezon Boulevard and Gempesaw Streets, Davao City.
After three (3) years in Gempesaw, the school moved to Puan and again occupied a rented house about 150 meters from McArthur Highway. Finally, a spacious lot was acquired where new buildings were constructed.

Joyce C. Porcadilla-Rubia
The General Baptist Bible College, Inc. (GBBC) over the years has evolved from a small Bible school of 18 students to a multi-level educational institution. Moving towards where it is right now has been challenging as well as inspiring. While nobody perhaps in the past expected the GBBC to grow and expand towards this direction, the current reality is that in order for GBBC to be distinct in its offerings, we need to adapt to the fast changing landscape of basic education, theological, and ministerial training. We need to be proactive in responding to the demands and needs of our stakeholders and the different fields of missions and ministries. Therefore, we need to look into and maximize our physical, human and financial resources and adopt new initiatives to provide the necessary framework to motivate GBBC towards achieving its vision of becoming the premier institution for leadership development for Christian ministries and missions in the Philippines and around the world.
