Primarily, the spiritual objective at CIBCS is based on Ephesians 4:11-12.

11 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

We believe that each believer is given at least one spiritual gift at the moment of salvation and that these gifts are unique abilities to perform the ministry God has assigned them. It is our spiritual objective to assist each believer in living out that designed ministry by:

• Teaching the Bible as the authoritative Word of God given to instruct the believer in the very "mind of Christ."
• Teaching other related subjects, such as language and skills, in order to assist the believer in living a godly life by utilizing the Biblical techniques found in the Word of God.
• Teaching instructional courses designed to help the believer "stir up the gift of God..." (2 Timothy 1:6), and to learn how the student can best use his Spirit given abilities as a faithful steward of his designed ministry.
• Providing college and seminary level training for every member of the body of Christ, not just those who are training for vocational ministry.
