History

Chesapeake Baptist College was founded in 1994 by Dr. Barney Lyon, pastor of Chesapeake Baptist Church, Severn, Maryland. The college states that "The school is a distinctively Christian institution that is characterized by its goal of academic excellence and its desire to build Biblical character, moral virtue, and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge in its students."[1] The school is associated with the Christian fundamentalist movement, though it does not include itself as a member of any group or organization. It takes a historical Baptist position on most issues and bases it doctrine and practice on the Scriptures, which they believe are accurately preserved for the English-speaking world in the Authorized King James Version.

Academics

Though small in size, Chesapeake Baptist College has placed very high stress on its level of instruction. The president, Dr. Lyon, has an earned doctorate from Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, and all of the instructors in the school are required to have their Master's degree before teaching. The school offers a Bachelors of Art in Bible, a Bachelors of Science in Christian Education, a Masters of Ministry, a Masters of Science in Christian Education, and a Masters of Divinity degrees.

Accreditation

Chesapeake Baptist College is not accredited by the State of Maryland or any other accrediting organization. They are, however, recognized by the Maryland Higher Education Commission, and are permitted to grant religious degrees.[1]
