Boston Baptist College is a Bible college located between Hyde Park and Milton, Massachusetts. [The campus of Boston Baptist, officially at 950 Metropolitan Avenue, seems to straddle the Hyde Park Boston city line shared with Milton, with the drive entrance on the Boston side and the campus itself in Milton.] [Its president, David Melton, claims [http://www.boston.edu/greeting.html] it to be the only Christian college in Boston. The message, by implication, denies Catholics as Christians and ignores the difference between a Bible college and an academic institution.] It is the only Bible college to be recognized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

History

Boston Baptist was founded in 1976 by A.V. Henderson and John Rawlings of Baptist Bible Fellowship International as Baptist Bible Institute East at Shrub Oak, New York.

In 1981, the school moved to its present location in Boston. At the time of the move, the school was considered a branch campus of Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri.

Beginning in 1993, the school began operating as a separate entity and ceased being a branch campus of Baptist Bible College in Springfield.

In 1996, the school received accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

In 2002, the name was changed from Baptist Bible College East to Boston Baptist College. Officially, the name was changed in order to distance the College from other universities throughout the country that operated under the name of Baptist Bible college, although the name was also taken to reflect its location.
