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 tot 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 metal 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.
2. Prepare
students for ministry in their non-church environment.
3. Treat
denominational doctrines with utmost care while emphasizing issues that never divide.
4. Recognize
the distinctiveness of each denomination or organization.
