       Destiny Bible College is a Christian institution  that accepts the Bible as the infallible Word of God.
       In particular,  the school affirms:

       ARTICLES OF FAITH

       The Inspiration and Authority of  the Scriptures
       The Trinity: the existence of One God in Three Persons,-Father, Son, & Holy Ghost
       The Creation of Man in the Image of God
       Human Depravity Resulting from Man's Fall
       The Deity of Christ: His Incarnation, Atoning Death and Resurrection
       Salvation as The Gift of God by Grace through Faith
       The Church, as the Body of Christ
       The Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Consummation of All Things


       PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

       Destiny Bible College is a Bible based institution of learning that affirms the authority of the Scriptures, and believes
       in the integration of faith, learning, and ministry.  The school seeks to promote the practicality of scholarly endeavor and
       
 the immediate application of learning experiences for the enrichment of one's personal and professional life.

       The school's curriculum is designed to enhance each student's understanding and knowledge, to foster lifelong inquiry
       and learning, to provide them with better capabilities of effectively witnessing the Word of God to the world, and
       to enhance their service to the religious community at large.


       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

       We endeavor to train Christian men and women who are called to ministry, including those who may not qualify or
       have the financial means to attend a formal theological  seminary.  Our program of study has been designed to provide
       each student with the necessary certificates, degrees and credentials necessary for them to make a more profound
       impact for God through ministry.


       ACCREDITATION

       Destiny Bible College was granted accreditation status in 2005, by Accrediting Commission International.
       Destiny Bible College has elected A. C. I as its accrediting agency because of our desire to remain free from the control
       of any Federal, State or private agency controlled by the same, that will not allow complete spiritual freedom in our
       curriculum and student body.      


    LIFE LEARNING AND EXPERIENCE       

       If you are interested in an Undergraduate Degree Program, there is a possibility that you may be able to shorten your degree
       
 time  and subsequent costs by virtue of your past personal and professional experience.   You can maximize potential credits toward
        your degree plan because of your life learning and experience.  You must submit a Life Learning and Experience Portfolio (LLEP)  
       
The processing fee  for this is $50 (non-refundable) and will more than likely prove to be worth the cost and effort in the overall scope
       
 of degree completion.    To apply for an Associates Degree, you should be at least eighteen years of age.  To apply for a Bachelors
       
Degree, you should have an Associates Degree.  To apply for a Masters Degree, you should have a Bachelors Degree.
