Mission & Vision

Mission

Our mission is to provide quality distance education opportunities for students to earn academic credit, certificates, and degrees through ministry leadership development programs that are truly church-based and competency-based.

Vision

Our vision is to support the tremendous spontaneous expansion of the Gospel in the twenty-first century as churches, church networks, and ministry organizations use the resources of BILD International for church-based theological education.

Goals or General Objectives

Our goals or general objectives are to provide academic credit, certificates, and degrees to students who show competency in:

• Comprehensive development in character, skills, and knowledge for effective ministry.
• Life development and lifelong learning orientation.
• Recognition of and participation in the centrality of the local church and priority of apostolic leaders in the plan of God.
• Ability to master biblical content, to benefit from significant contributions of scholars, and to build strategic models of ministry accordingly.

Specific Objectives

• Provide 'ministry' programs (B.Min., M.Min., D.Min. GCBTE, C.Min.) by distance education to students rooted in local churches and other ministry organizations in order to help them be trained and recognized as part of a ministry leadership team that is one-minded in ministry vision and philosophy according to the Way of Christ and His Apostles.

• Provide 'theology' programs (B.Th., M.Th., D.Min. TIC, C.Th.) by distance education to students rooted in local churches and other ministry organizations in order to help them understand thoroughly the unfolding message of Scripture itself as a guidebook for life and ministry, paying special attention to the implications of that message in one’s personal life, ministry, and culture.
