Institutional Commitments
(i) Academic Freedom
In
pursuit of the whole faith, inspiring, genuine service: faculty members
are free to express in their writing, teaching and activities, their
individual positions.
While free to develop and express unique
academic position, the institution requires that the ultimate position
of the faculty members not be at variance with the basic theological
stance of the academic community as set forth in the statement of faith.
(ii) Inclusive Education
Divine Power Bible College admits without discrimination on the basis of gender.
Women are welcomed to all her programs without questioning or challenging the calling of anyone on the basis of gender.
In
as much as the school is not unaware that the role of women is a matter
of controversy in many denominations, churches and Para church
ministries, our stance permits the accommodation of people of
alternative views.
Institutional Goals
Divine Power Bible College exists to serve the body of Christ, bringing men into maturity in service.
(i) Academic Excellence
DPBC is committed to strengthen the quality of teaching in the classroom with the aim of encouraging academic proficiency.
Cultivating
an academic program which will recognize and aid the need of
specialized ministries, DPBC is also flexible in curriculum design with
no regard to the way we used to do it.
(ii) Practical Relevance
In
order to meet the demands of the church today, DPBC will not celebrate
academic brilliance to the detriment of practical ministry.
The
faculty of DPBC believes that any Bible School that will be of lasting
impact must impart ministry skills and teach practicable knowledge. We
are therefore committed to practical relevance
(iii) Personal Development
As
a short term Bible School, there may not be enough time for developing
and nurturing students into spiritual, emotional and mental maturity but
no effort will be spared in pushing all students into an adventure in
personal development.
(iv) Inter-denominational breadth
DPBC
pledges to serve the entire church of Christ in various expressions.
While preserving an interdenominational nature, DPBC will.
1. Encourage its students to serve the church that nurture them.
