Empire Baptist Temple

The Empire Baptist Temple's support for Christian education has been firmly established. We believe true churches are God's designated places for life-long education — which is the learning and application of truth. Armed with the Bible confirmation that God entrusted his churches with both truth and teachers, EBT has by faith found that K-12 education is best done under such divine oversight.

The divine mandate for all instruction is not delimited as "Secular" and "Spiritual" by God, but rather the instruction of the whole man. This is accomplished best by following the divine mandate for parents and the local New Testament Church to work together for the complete instruction of the whole child.

The Empire Baptist Academy was founded in 1978 to provide that Biblical foundation from which parents can fulfill their obligation to fully raise up their child(ren). According to South Dakota education legislation, EBA qualifies as an Alternative Instruction venue for members of the Empire Baptist Temple to collectively train their children.

At EBA, all instruction is Christ-centered and is based upon the scriptures (KJV) as the only infallible source of truth (John 17:17). We are committed to the local Baptist Church and have dedicated this educational ministry to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the Gospel Ministry.

EBA administers a complete Bible integrated education, professionally developed for academic excellence. The Christian life-view is integrated in all subjects and grades with the child's soul as our focus. Our staff is comprised of qualified volunteer parents and others sharing in the educating process.

Attending EBA is a privileged opportunity. We accept students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin without discrimination. Not every parent or student may fit into our program, therefore we attempt to clearly define the expectations of each before enrolling any student.

We are honored to have the Lord's guiding hand in the operation of this education ministry.
