Mission Statement
Brewton-Parker College offers an undergraduate education committed to academic excellence, the liberal arts tradition, and the Christian faith. Faculty and staff, reinforced by the College’s affiliation with the Georgia Baptist Convention, share a desire to nurture and develop the whole student in a caring, Christian community.
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.

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.
