Meet The Dean

Thank you for your interest in Illinois Baptist College! We pray that as God has providentially led you to our website that He will place us on your heart. We would love the opportunity to have a place in your spiritual training.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it provides God’s unchanging revelation for a changing world. God’s Word is as contemporary today as it was when it was written; furthermore, it is relevant to the personal needs and problems of our complex world.
We believe that the Bible’s message, that God sent His Son to be the Savior of sinners, is the only eternal hope for people today.
Our goal is to teach the Bible and to train people to teach everyone.
If you share these beliefs and this goal, we ask you to prayerfully consider Illinois Baptist College.
By His Grace,
Michael McCoskey
