Accreditation
By definition, the word "accredit" means to authorize, endorse, and officially
approve of. What ordination is to a minister, accreditation is to an institution.
Accreditation is a group process by which academic institutions voluntarily
agree to participate in a set of established standards in order to encourage
quality education. Biblical institutions are not legally required to become
accredited, but it is a very desirable standing.
​
Accredited status means an institution has voluntarily submitted to undergo
a comprehensive examination in line with secular standards to determine that
it operates at a worthy level of performance.
​
We are Supported by Christian Universities, Colleges and Theological
Seminaries across the world. We partner together because we are endorsed
by the BODY of CHRIST. We are recognized by various mainline
denominations of the Philippines, North America, Africa, and elsewhere.
Most of all we are accredited by the Most High God to whom we will give
account!
​
• There is secular education and there is religious education.
• Secular schools seek secular accreditation, and sacred schools receive
sacred accreditation—each by their own peers.
• Christian institutions need no secular accreditation because they offer no
secular degrees.
• Christian accrediting associations are recognized by the Church of Jesus
Christ, which has no supreme central office on earth. Our authority is
derived directly from Heaven.
• Civil and Christian interests have separate realms of jurisdiction.
• The State is not superior to the Church. The Church needs not wait for
approval from the secular world.
• Civil agencies should not be dictating standards of Christian education,
more than men in uniforms or authority should be directing the worship
any of God.
• Theological Seminaries and Bible Schools should not be accredited by
accrediting associations that are "recognized" by an agency of the
government. This is contrary to the Biblical principle of "Separation of
Church and State," Jesus indicated this when He said, "...Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are
God's..." (Mk 12:17).
​
We will continue to shy away from any kind of accreditation that might
weaken our ability to train men and women to be effective servants of Christ
in their church and place of ministry service. Churches need ministers who
demonstrate that they truly have a real degree and education by what they
are and how they perform their tasks.
​
Our degree will give you the credible qualification that you need, but most
importantly, you will engage in studies that will sharpen your God-given
talents to do great things for God.
​
Your church and peers will accept your degree if they accept you. The degree
does not make the person. The person makes the degree.
​
The main questions to be asked when considering choosing an institution for
Christian education are,” Is this institution pleasing God?” If it is pleasing God,
then it does not matter who is displeased. Secondly, “Are the professors truly
men and women of integrity, dignity, anointed, called in this area of teaching,
and do they have proven ministries?” If they have these marks, again, it does
not matter who is displeased.
​
We ask all of our students to pray about all they do in life. Our institutions
are about honoring Christ and being His servants. We believe the
accreditation of God is on our institutions because we strive to please Him
in academic and ministry training.
If these Christian institutions are right for God, then
they’re right for you. We encourage you to prayerfully
fill out an application form for admission as soon as
possible so that you may begin today to prepare for the greater ministry that God has for you!
