TAMPA BAY

Florida Baptist College is located just minutes from the beaches of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in the Tampa suburb of Town and Country. Town and Country is aptly named as it is just minutes away from both the bustle of downtown Tampa and the serenity of the country, complete with horse and cattle ranches. The greater Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater area brims with ministry opportunities and exciting activities. Approximately 3,500,000 souls live within an hour radius of the campus of FBC. At FBC, students not only learn about reaching souls for Christ, but also have numerous chances to reach these souls for Christ.

The greater Tampa Bay area offers wholesome activities such as boating, golfing, the Florida Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo, the Museum of Science and Industry and other great museums, and hosts professional teams in most of the major sports. The state and county park systems in the area have hundreds of acres devoted to hiking, camping, fishing, and canoeing.

The convenience and competition of two international airports located near Florida Baptist College make airfare affordable and accessible. The Tampa International Airport, voted the best airport in America, is less than 10 minutes from the college. Also nearby is the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, a hub for economy-fare airlines.

Tampa Bay’s thriving job market will enable students to secure employment to help fund their education.
