Heartland Baptist Bible College

[1] Classes at Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College, a co-educational college, began in fall, 1966 in rented facilities upstairs at the NE corner of the intersection of Glassell and Chapman - "The Circle" - in Orange, California.Ted Hicks, one of the founders and the first president, and then pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Santa Ana, the college grew and became a preacher-training facility.[4] In Summer 1998, because of its financial problems and policy disagreements within the BBFI education establishment, the school moved to Oklahoma City, and was renamed Heartland Baptist Bible College.Heartland was granted an exception to Title IX in 2018, which allows it to legally discriminate against LGBT students for religious reasons.[citation needed] Although Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College did have intercollegiate sports teams when it was in California,[7][8] HBBC does not now participate in any intercollegiate leagues, but it does offer intramural sports for students who wish to participate.
