From its inception as a Bible
Training School to the present it has been the purpose of the Bible
college to have each student know and experience God and His Word,
broaden and deepen his/her general education for effective living as
a Christian citizen, and effectively minister to others. The Bible
college is dedicated to the preparation of Christian workers for
church leadership, for preaching, for teaching, and for reaching
persons for Christ.
It is our objective that each
of our students:
- Know God and His Word (Bible
is our middle name!)
- Seek to have a personal, loving
relationship with God.
- Confidently know the Bible as
God's infallible Word.
- Understand that God's Word
relates to every area of life (general education, experience).
- Apply God's Word
- Develop a lifestyle that
includes personal devotions and regular Bible study, using sound
methods in that study.
- Develop the skills of sound
scholarship in both biblical and secular studies, characterized
by a spirit of inquiry, research, and creative thinking.
- Recognize the lordship of Christ
and fulfill God's will personally, vocationally, in attitude,
and in deed.
- Live a life of high moral and
spiritual standards at home, in the community, and in church.
- Communicate God's Word (Be in
ministry!)
- Determine where the Lord is
directing the individual to serve--whether as a layman or in an
employed ministry.
- Carefully evaluate God-given
gifts along with accompanying personal talents.
- Become proficient in methods of
communication, leadership, and ministry.
- Become involved in a lifetime of
Christian service.
