We are not accredited by any Agency. We
base this upon the issues of conformity as outlined in Romans 12:1 - 2... “I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.“
You should prayerfully consider your learning path, no matter where it may be. Our Statement of Faith clearly outlines what we believe and our curriculum is based upon those beliefs.
No matter where you choose to attend, there is no guarantee that any
institution will accept your previously acquired credentials. However, in most cases, bible based credentials are usually
accepted.
Accreditation agencies were originally instituted by the world
system to fulfill its regulatory purposes and obligations to a secular learning environment.
Christian based accreditations
are the result of attempting to adapt to a system that would embrace Christian values and beliefs. After carefully
reviewing the Accreditation process, we have found that less than 2% of the Christian accrediting agencies are recognized
by the US Department of Education.
The other 98% have chosen to create their own methods. In order to become
a part of their “club” you must adopt their methods and beliefs.
When God calls you to a Ministry such as this (educating others), it is not
a popular pursuit, but according to Ephesians 4:11 - 16..."And he gave
some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That
we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in
all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which
every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
edifying of itself in love."
Just as our Churches have been given
“vision” by God, so too have bible based learning institutions.
Our
training protocols are specialized and in many cases provide proprietary methods of delivery. We
find ourselves spending more time attempting to define what we do, than doing what we do.
Just as it was in Jesus’ Day. So it is today. They asked…”by whose authority do you speak”.
Ministry Development Training Centers speak and teach by the same authority
as Our Lord Jesus did. Therefore, at this present time, we have chosen not to
affiliate with any of these agencies just to give the appearance of being relevant in the eyes of man.
