the Local Church and Pastor
The Apprenticeship
College Education Program - to Train And Educate The Young
Preacher In The Local Church under the direction of the local pastor.
The local pastor will not have to send his young men away to a Bible
college for them to be taught by men who may have never pastored a
church. You the pastor will oversee his students throughout the program. They
will be able to obtain their degrees while serving in your local church
directly under your direction.
The Apprenticeship Program
is what every preacher needs to train and produce his own preachers,
teachers and Christian workers.
WHAT IT IS NOT:
It is not a home Bible study course that will cost thousands of dollars.

the direction of the local Pastor.

Review
Summary Of Our Beliefs |
SUMMARY OF OUR BELIEFS
| 1 |
We
believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and
authoritative Word Of God. Preserved in the Authorized King
James Version for the English speaking people. |
| 2 |
We
believe that there in One God, the Source, Support and End to
all things, eternally existent in three persons, God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. |
| 3 |
We
believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth,
His sinless life, His vicarious and atoning death, His shed
blood to atone for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His
ascension to the Father's right hand. His personal,
premillennial return for His saints and with His saints at the
Revelation. |
| 4 |
We
believe in the Deity and present ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Convicts the sinner, regenerates the believer, indwells, seals,
instructs, reproves, comforts and guides the believer. That He
fills and controls every life that is wholly yielded to the Lord
and His Word. |
| 5 |
We
believe that man is totally depraved, a sinner both by nature an
practice. Therefore estranged from the Lord, completely lost and
blinded spiritually and in need of the conviction and
regeneration work of the Holly Spirit. |
| 6 |
We
believe Satan in real, a mighty fallen angel, with great power
allowed by God for a time, until His final destiny of eternal
judgment in the lake of fie. |
| 7 |
We
believe that salvation is the gift of God, offered to all men
freely by God's grace and received by personal faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for our sins, and
repentance of our sins. |
| 8 |
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto
"Eternal Life" and the unsaved unto everlasting
"Judgment" in the "Lake of Fire". |
| 9 |
We
believe in a literal "Heaven" with streets of gold and
a literal "Hell" with fire and brimstone. |
| 10 |
We
believe the "Church" is a local, visible, body of
baptized believers who come together in obedience to Christ to
carry out His commands as dictated in the New Testament. |
| 11 |
We
believe and practice both personal and ecclesiastical separation
on the basis of the Word of God. |
