Beliefs
West Coast is a Baptist college. West Coast Baptist College believes the Bible is the Word of God preserved for the English-speaking people in the King James Version. It also believes in deity of Jesus Christ, salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone, and the worship, fellowship, and service of the local church.
Before a male student is able to graduate from West Coast Baptist College, he is to undergo a written and oral examination of his beliefs. Two members of the Bible department question a graduating senior. The testing is known to last anywhere from 2–3 hours. Failing to pass oral examinations is a failure to graduate. The student has two chances to pass, but if this is not met, a doctrinal paper takes the place of the oral exam. In orals, the senior is asked to defend the Baptist distinctives with scripture, and give the scriptural references to the deity of Christ, the virgin birth, the trinity, and other areas.
