CORE VALUES: We Value Biblical Education – •Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. •2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. We acknowledge a need to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and through practical ministerial training and academic excellence, prepare our students for various opportunities of ministry. We Value the Call to Ministry – •2 Timothy 1: 9 “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our own works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.”
