Director with the completed

Auditing Courses
People who are not enrolled
as students may audit courses (participate without doing
the reading or taking the exam) at a cost of $2 per
lesson. Audit registration will be open for one week
prior to the start of each course. The entire
registration fee must be paid in advance. At the

Advice from the Directors
We are
so glad that you are considering enrolling in Faith
Bible School.
We sincerely believe that it will be one of the best
investments of time, energy, and money that you will
every make. If you believe that the Lord is leading
you to enroll, please don’t let anything stop you.
Jesus Christ Himself has already overcome every obstacle
that stands in your way.
We are professional educators with many years of college
and university teaching experience. We have worked with
innumerable students who returned to school after
several years and were insecure about their academic
abilities. These students were usually very successful
because of their high motivation and valuable life
experiences. However, you may find that the first few
weeks are challenging, just as you would if you were
beginning an exercise program.
Here are some of the things you can expect, and you
should weigh them in your decision to enroll. You will
be spending six hours per week in class and will
probably need to spend another two to four hours per
week reading, completing assignments, and studying. The
reading load is significant, but should not be
overwhelming. Do not be intimidated by the thought of
taking exams. The exams are not difficult, but reviewing
for them will help you remember the important things you
are learning. We will do everything we possibly can to
help you be successful, but you will have to be
disciplined to achieve your goal.
As you
probably know, Faith Bible School
is video-based, but the videos are “real.” The Association of Faith
Churches and Ministers International Training Center (AFCMITC)
brought together the best teachers available, people
with years of successful ministry experience, and they
were teaching real students just like you. It would be
impossible for you to get “in-person” teaching of this
scope and quality, so it is a great blessing that the
curriculum was videotaped. This curriculum is being
successfully used in many places in the
U.S. ,
Canada
, and around the world. It has already been translated into
over twenty languages.
We are
launching the first year of what is potentially a
three-year program. Year one, which will take eighteen
months to complete, will provide you with a very solid
foundation and may be all you will need. Students who
complete year one will participate in a graduation
ceremony and receive a diploma.
If you compare this cost of Faith Bible School to that
of any other higher education available, you will
discover that it is extremely reasonable, particularly
because it enables you to continue your education
without leaving the Quad Cities.
Higher
education is one of the most valuable things you can do
for yourself and your future. In this case, it will also
be valuable to the Kingdom of God . It is also a wonderful,
life-changing adventure. We hope you will decide to join
us and your classmates. Please talk with us if you have
questions.

Student
Policies
Conduct Code
It is our desire to create an atmosphere
in which students can develop to their full potential.
The goal for our school and its students is excellence.
To achieve this goal, there are certain policies that
must be in place. We expect each student to live a
lifestyle that glorifies Jesus Christ.
There are certain kinds of conduct that are grounds for
immediate dismissal from Bible school. These include
conduct relating to: use of tobacco products or any
illegal or habit-forming drugs, drinking alcohol
(including wine), homosexuality, pornography, adultery,
or fornication. Any other conduct that is in violation
of state or national laws will be subject to dismissal
from school.
Discipline
The
Director will handle any discipline problems that may
arise. Any student acting in a manner to discredit the Kingdom of God and Faith Bible
School will be subject to
dismissal.
Dress Code
Faith
Bible School seeks to
provide an atmosphere conducive to learning and personal
development. Please dress appropriately and modestly for
all class sessions.
Address, Telephone Changes
Students making address or telephone changes must notify
the Director as soon as possible.
Class Attendance Policy
Attendance is required in all classes. We do not expect
students to be absent. There are no excused absences
unless granted by the Director. Students are to call
the Director regarding any absence. During each
tri-mester, the maximum number of missed days is four
(or 12 sessions). Special arrangements will be made for
students who must miss class because of ministry
responsibilities. If there is an emergency situation, it
will be reviewed by the Director. Incurring more
absences than those allowed will result in failure for
that tri-mester. Students are responsible to arrange
with the Director to make up all missed sessions.
Tardiness
Classes start promptly on schedule. Students arriving
more than five minutes late will be counted absent for
that session.
Students may not leave the classroom after doors are
closed except in cases of emergency.
Make-Up Examinations
If
the student is absent during the exam time and needs to
take the exam at another time, a fee of $5.00 will be
charged unless waived by the Director. Arrangements for
making up an exam must be made with the Director,
initiated by the student.
Graduation Requirements
Academic Requirement
Students must maintain a 60% average or
above on examinations. Students must read all required
books.
Ministry Requirements
Students are required to be involved in a ministry of
helps at a local church where they are a member.
Students are required to be involved in one outreach
ministry.
Service Hours
Students are required to put in 18
service hours per tri-mester. That equals 54 hours for
the school year. These are volunteer hours of service
to the school and to ministry. Forms need to be turned
in at the end of each tri-mester to the administrator.
Certificate of Completion
After satisfactorily completing all
classes and maintaining a cumulative average of 60% or
above; students in the diploma program will receive a
Certificate of Completion and be eligible for the
graduation ceremony. Graduates can become members of
the AFCMITC Alumni Association and may apply for
licensing and ordination through the Association of
Faith Churches and Ministers if entering the ministry.
Church Attendance
As
Bible school students we expect you to have regular
church attendance. Students who do not attend Faith
Walk World Outreach Center are asked to have their
pastor sign a form provided by the Director stating the
student is actively involved in that church.
