[edit] Location
Hyles-Anderson College is located in rural Lake County of Northwest Indiana.
Hyles-Anderson College is located in a suburban area 30 minutes from the First Baptist Church of Hammond and less than a one-hour drive from downtown Chicago.
[edit] History
Hyles-Anderson was founded in 1972 by Jack Hyles with financial support from Russell Anderson. The college states that its goal is "to train America’s future pastors, assistant pastors, evangelists, song leaders, youth workers, bus directors, and missionaries." [1] The school was originally located on a campus known as Baptist City in Schererville, Indiana. Hyles-Anderson's former campus was turned into Hammond Baptist Schools K-12. This school is also operated by the First Baptist Church of Hammond.
The college's first president was Robert J. Billings, a former Education Department official under Ronald Reagan who helped found the National Christian Coalition in 1978 and became the first executive director of the Moral Majority in 1979.[2][3]
Pastor Hyles, Hyles-Anderson's founder, died in 2001[4] and was succeeded by his son-in-law, Jack Schaap, a graduate and former vice president of the school.
[edit] Academics and accreditation
Hyles-Anderson College is home to some of the greatest Christian educators and Bible scholars today. All but a few of the faculty at Hyles-Anderson are listed with at least one degree from Hyles–Anderson College or Hyles-Anderson Seminary, and many of the faculty are listed with multiple degrees from the school. A few of the faculty members have received bachelor's degrees and advanced degrees from other universities and colleges, while a number have received degrees from various other Bible colleges as well.[5]
Hyles–Anderson College does not maintain a doctoral program. However, it usually issues one or more honorary doctorates every year at the main graduation ceremony in May. The recipients are usually pastors or other ministry workers who have distinguished themselves in the ministry and do not necessarily need to hold an earned degree from the college.
Hyles-Anderson offers Bachelor of Science degrees in the following major concentrations: Pastoral Theology, Pastoral Assistant, Media Management and Graphic Design, Youth Pastor, Missions, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, General Studies, Music Director, and Music Education. The college offers Associate of Science degrees in Education and in Marriage and Motherhood.
[edit] Policies
All faculty, staff, and students participate in weekly soul-winning and community outreach, by participating in the ministries of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Currently Hyles-Anderson College students work with inner-city bus routes, inner-city churches, and teen outreach ministries.
Hyles-Anderson believes that God’s program for service today is centered in the local New Testament church. Hyles-Anderson is committed to training preachers who will go to build Bible-believing, fundamental, separated, soul-winning churches. Thus, the goal of Hyles-Anderson is to train America’s future pastors, assistant pastors, evangelists, song leaders, youth workers, bus directors, and missionaries.
