EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Southern Bible College proposes to train students in and for Christian ministry. Race, class, or nationality offer no barrier. Further, students from various denominations may enjoy academic freedom and Christian fellowship.

Underlying the philosophy of the College & Seminary is the conviction that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is the record of God's revelation of Himself to man. Consequently, a study of the Bible constitutes the most significant discipline for any person. The Bible, therefore, is the central integrating factor of the total curriculum and all truth ultimately is related to and unified by the revealed Word.

The distant education approach to earning a degree was developed due to the demanding need to offer to those, who because of schedule or geographical location, could not complete or expand their education through traditional learning. This approach offers professionally developed programs that accommodate the time and distance demands on the working professional.

It provides an opportunity for advancement without having to move to a campus setting. Southern Bible College & Seminary seeks to offer studies and symposiums for experienced professionals, building upon professional and personal competence through scholarly inquiry and constant improvement in the areas of ministerial and professional practice.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Southern Bible College & Seminary is "To provide innovative methods for students to reach their educational goals."

LICENSING AND ORDINATION

Licensing and ordination are functions of a church or denomination. Since Southern Bible College & Seminary is not a church, it neither licenses nor ordains. If you seek licensure or ordination, you should speak with your pastor or with a representative of your denomination about the procedures, standards, training required, and any other requirements, since churches and denominations have different requirements for licensing and ordaining. If you wish to be licensed or ordained by a group outside your own denomination, you will need to contact that organization or denomination, you wish to minister with about their acceptance of our courses and graduation documents.

Distant educational students are required to meet standards equal to or even greater than those of traditional on campus students.
