Word of Life Bible Institute as an educational institution has developed its entire program around a particular philosophy of education. This philosophy of education is based on three key words: Know (study) Grow (life), and Show (ministry). These three words characterize our approach to education.
Believers are commanded to study the Word of God, accepting it as their foundation and authority. Since discipleship and character building are the responsibility of godly leadership, we need to build an institution that will educate students in Biblical doctrine and conduct through the classroom and lifestyle of our staff. Our goal is to produce students that practice excellence in the Christian life bringing glory to God.
We believe that the Bible is not only the foundation for morality, but it is authoritative in every area that it addresses. It is therefore the beginning of wisdom and a prerequisite for any academic endeavor. - 2 Tim 2:15
We believe that any study of the Bible must be built on a proper relationship to Jesus Christ. - Col2:6-7
We believe that intellectual "knowing" is only a beginning step, and that a student has not learned until he has put this knowledge into practice. - 2 Tim 2:1-2
We believe that character development is a legitimate concern of education. - Col. 1:9-11, 2:8-9; Titus 2:7-8
We believe that staff and faculty are more than teachers, they are role models and as such must display Christian character and commitment before the student. - Ezra 7:10, 1 Cor. 4:15-16; Matt. 28:19-20
We believe that doctrine is the foundation for all our endeavors. - 2 Tim. 3:16; Titus 2:1
