Philosophy Word of Life Bible Institute as an educational institution has developed its entire program around a particular philosophy of education. This philosophy is based on three key words: Study, Life, 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. Discipleship and character building are the responsibility of godly leadership. Therefore, we educate students in Biblical doctrine and conduct through the classroom and example of our staff, producing students who practice excellence in the Christian life bringing glory to God. This philosophy is based on the following principles from the Bible: 2 TIMOTHY 2:15 We believe that the Bible is not only the foundation for morality, but it is also authoritative in every area that it addresses. It is, therefore, the beginning of wisdom and a prerequisite for any academic endeavor. COLOSSIANS 2:6-7 We believe that any area of Bible study must be built on a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. 2 TIMOTHY 2:1-2 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.
COLOSSIANS 1:9-11; 2:8-9; TITUS 2:7-8 We believe that character development is a legitimate concern of education.
EZRA 7:10; 1 CORINTHIANS 4:15-16; MATTHEW 28:19-20 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.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16; TITUS 2:1 We believe that doctrine is the foundation for all our endeavors.
