Welcome To
Channel Islands Bible College & Seminary Dubai
The Fall
Semester is upon us and promises to be an exciting time as we study
together the manifold wisdom of God. God continues to bless the
ministry of the school as students become better equipped and join
others in leading local congregations in more meaningful service. We
have ministered to more than one thousand students since opening our
doors in the Spring of 1999.
Channel Islands
Bible College & Seminary was born, out of a desire to provide for the
"...equipping the saints for the work of the ministry....� Although
every believer has a ministry to perform, there has been very little
training provided to equip them for ministry. Effective training has
been reserved for those believers who are going into vocational ministry
and have the resources to afford Christian Higher Education. This lack
of training has seriously hindered the work of the church.
Channel Islands
Bible College and Seminary operates on a grace basis. This means
tuition and registration fees are not charged. Such fees would prevent
most Christians from getting the training they need and desire. The
school is supported by contributions from those who have both the
ability and the desire to contribute. The high cost of college and
seminary training is no longer a valid reason for believers to not
become better trained in the use of their gifts to achieve effective
ministry.
Cost of
operation is kept at a minimum by using the facilities and resources of
Nyeland Community Church, the governing body. The faculty and staff are
made up of volunteers of qualified believers who have this grace
conviction and share our vision. Yet, a high standard of academics is
maintained that is on a par with Universities and Seminaries that charge
prohibitive fees for the majority of believers as we offer accredited
degrees from the Associate through the Doctorate.
Our independent
studies department continues to grow. We now have around two hundred
inmates in California and Nevada prisons. These inmates join a growing
number of pastors and church leaders from places like, Rwanda, Tanzania,
Ghana, Pakistan, India, the Philippines, and now Dubai.
There is a
contagious atmosphere on campus generated by the excitement of students
who are growing in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
To
God be the glory great things He has done - Is Doing!
Because of His
Grace,
