PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT 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 who practice excellence in the Christian life bringing glory to God.
This philosophy is based on the following principles:
1. 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 (2 Timothy 2:15). 2. We believe that any area of Bible study must be built on a proper relationship to Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:6–7). 3. 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 Timothy 2:1–2). 4. We believe that character development is a legitimate concern of education (Colossians 1:9–11; 2:8–9; Titus 2:7–8). 5. 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 Corinthians 4:15–16; Matthew 28:19–20). 6. We believe that doctrine is the foundation for all our endeavors (2 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:1).

Mission Statement The mission of Word of Life Bible Institute is to educate each student within a rigorous academic and structured discipleship atmosphere preparing them to live a life of maximum effectiveness for the Lord. Objectives Word of Life Bible Institute seeks to produce students who: 1. Know – Cultivating an increasing knowledge of God and His Word through diligent and deliberate study. 2. Grow – Possessing a growing relationship with God through the practical application of biblical truth to daily life and participation in biblical community. 3. Show – Demonstrating a commitment and ability to model and share biblical truth and boldly proclaim the gospel of Christ. Program Word of Life Bible Institute is a two-year, non-degree granting institution whose high academic standards are recognized by most Christian colleges. The emphasis of the first year is Biblical Foundation, and it is offered at several teaching sites around the world. The emphasis of the second year is Ministry Foundation, and it is only offered at the main campus located in Pottersville, New York. Students who complete the first year receive a Bible Certificate. A diploma is awarded for the successful completion of both years of the program. Each year is comprised of two academic semesters followed by a Summer Ministry Practicum.

Accreditation Word of Life Bible Institute is a member of the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) [15935 Forest Road, Forest, VA 24551; Telephone: (434) 525-9539; e-mail: info@tracs.org], having been awarded Reaffirmation Ill of its Accredited Status as a Category I institution by the TRACS Accreditation Commission on April 25, 2022. This status is effective for a period of ten years. TRACS is recognized by the United States Department of Education (ED), the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), and the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE). FAMILY EMERGENCIES In the event of a family emergency, please contact the Dean of Men or Dean of Women. They will arrange to notify the student involved and have them make the appropriate phone calls from the privacy of their offices. It has been our experience that this is easier on the student rather than receiving the news via a phone call in the dorm.

GRADES A student must have a cumulative average of 2.00 in order to receive a Certificate (1st year) or a Diploma (2nd year). Those graduating with less than a 2.00 average will receive a Certificate of Attendance if all other requirements are met. No report cards are mailed. Grades are available online at any time for the student to view. Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, (FERPA), parents need to obtain the username and password from their student to be able to view grades online. Grades received by the end of each semester will appear on the permanent transcript. Students with a cumulative or semester GPA of 2.5 or lower may be required to attend supervised study hours. If they continue to remain low, they will be placed on Academic Probation. These measures are intended to assist students who may be experiencing struggles in their studies. Students who achieve a 3.00–3.49 grade point average at the end of a semester will be placed on the Dean’s List. Students with a 3.5–4.0 are placed on the Dean’s Honor List. If a student does not put forth a genuine effort and their grades remain consistently below what can reasonably be expected, they may be dismissed at the end of the semester.

GRADUATION July 31, 2027 Graduation weekend is a special time for your student. The weekend begins with an End of Year Celebration on Friday evening, July 30, and concludes after the Graduation Ceremony which is at 10:00 AM on Saturday morning, July 31. Students are free to leave after the Graduation ceremony. We would encourage you to come and spend these days with us at the Conference Center. Reservations can be made at 727.379.5000.
Financial obligations must be met prior to Graduation.
HEALTH CENTER We have partnered with EVO (Telemedicine) to provide healthcare via telephone for our students. There are also walk-in clinics located within 10 miles of the Bible Institute in Hudson, Spring Hill and New Port Richey. In addition, there are several hospitals in the area. When the need arises for students to visit the doctor or hospital, they are encouraged to contact their parents / guardians to inform them of their condition and treatment. Due to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Word of Life cannot make that contact nor force the student to do so. INSURANCE Student Accident Insurance is included in semester fees for all students. This is a mandatory policy regardless of any other coverage they may have. If the student has other medical insurance, it serves as a secondary policy. The policy does not provide coverage for accidents that occur while: a. Using skateboards, longboards, razor scooters and variations thereof. b. Committing or attempting to commit a self-inflicted injury.

SPECIAL PERMISSIONS Permission to attend weddings or other special family events can be arranged by filling out a special permissions form. If these events take place on the first or last weekend of the semester or during Missions Conference, arrangements must be made directly with the Dean’s Office. If during the summer Ministry Practicum, they must be made with the Camp Director. Please plan to have all dental and medical work done during school breaks. Please be aware that Word of Life Bible Institute is not accredited for distance education. Students may refer to the course syllabus for more details regarding attendance policy expectations. Classes are not livestreamed. School breaks are listed in the school calendar. Students are not permitted to leave early or to return late but are expected to make travel arrangements which will enable them to arrive on time. If, however, it is convenient for the student to arrive a day earlier, they will be allowed to do so once they have contacted the Bible Institute. Please note, meals will not be available for early arrivals. MINISTRIES The purpose of the Ministries Department is to provide training and the opportunity for each student to participate in multiple, meaningful ministry opportunities that have the potential to impact the lives of others significantly. The Ministries Department aims to train and equip students to: 1. Understand principles and techniques of ministry. 2. Incorporate various principles and techniques into real-world ministry opportunities. To reach these objectives we use a two-fold approach: 1. Education. Early in the school year students will have classes covering different aspects of ministry. Examples are: how to share their testimony, how to have gospel-centered conversations, personal one-on-one evangelism, etc. 2. Experience. Applying the principles of the Word of God is what life
Parent Orientation 2026 / 11
is all about. Throughout the school year we will give the students opportunities to use the principles and methods they have learned.
Available ministries (list may vary) Overflow Bands*
The Overflow Band consists of vocalists and instrumentalists who minister on campus, at special events, schools, and churches. Practices are held weekly. Auditions for this team are in the fall. Students participate in this ministry all year long and must serve the summer at Word of Life Florida, The Coast. Band members will not attend Reverb in the fall. Overflow Drama* The Overflow Drama Team is one of the exciting ministries that allows a student to take advantage of his or her theatrical abilities and use them for the glory of God by participating in skits and programs that present various aspects of the Christian life in action. Auditions for this team are in the fall. The drama team ministers on campus, at special events, schools, and churches. Students participate in this ministry all year long and must serve the summer at Word of Life Florida, The Coast. Drama team members will not attend Reverb in the fall. Media Team* The Media team is a group of specifically skilled students in areas such as graphic design, photography, videography, and social media. Interviews for this position happen in the fall. This team’s objective is to capture and share the ministry that takes place both on and off campus. It is a unique opportunity to showcase all that God is doing through Bible Institute students. Child Evangelism Fellowship Teams The CEF teams will do ministry at a local elementary school on a weekly basis. The students who are placed on this team must be passionate about children’s ministry and participate faithfully throughout the school year. Foster the Family Team The Foster the Family Team will go once a month and serve families and children who are part of the foster care system. Partnering alongside an organization called Foster the Family, they will help put on “Kid’s Day Out” events. The students who are placed on this team should be passionate
12 / Word of Life Bible Institute
about children’s ministry and have a heart to serve those who are in the foster care system. General Ministry Teams General Ministry Teams provide students with opportunities to work with local churches, ministry partners, and serve in many different capacities. Students may participate in Word of Life Reverb events, student and adult church ministries, evangelistic outreach, on-campus events, and community events throughout the Tampa Bay Area. These teams are unique because students could get the opportunity to minister in a variety of different ways and settings while gaining hands-on ministry experience and growing in service, leadership, and outreach. Student Council The Student Council is a ministry team that has been selected to serve the entire student body. Student Council members assist in organizing and leading campus activities and service projects.
*Platform Team
SUMMER MINISTRY PRACTICUM Students are required to complete a full-time Ministry Practicum during the summer in order to graduate the program. The Ministry Practicum serves as the capstone to the Bible Institute program, providing multiple opportunities to apply what they have learned in the classroom throughout the year. This normally takes place at Word of Life Florida’s youth camp, The Coast . Only a limited number of “outside” ministries (non-Word of Life) are approved each year. These will only be considered if they accomplish the objective of the Ministry Practicum which is to “provide students with a supervised, concentrated ministry experience with an emphasis on evangelism and discipleship.” “Outside ministry” applications must be turned in no later than March 1. This date also applies to new spring semester students. Students who do not complete an approved Ministry Practicum are not eligible to receive the Bible Certificate or the Certificate of Attendance; however, their transcripts will show completed coursework and grades.
Parent Orientation 2026 / 13
Most institutions to which our students transfer have worked with us regarding the dates our graduates must report to their school. During the summer, all requests for special permissions should be directed to The Coast Camp Director. The Bible Institute staff acts only in an advisory capacity during the summer Ministry Practicum. TRANSPORTATION On arrival/departure days surrounding the beginning and ending of semesters and student breaks, we offer shuttle runs for students unaccompanied by parents to and from the Tampa International Airport at 9 AM, 12 PM, and 3 PM and to Saint Petersburg/Clearwater Airport upon request. There is a $40 transportation fee per one-way trip. For all questions relating to transportation, please call 727.379.5000. Requests need to be made 5 business days in advance. wol.to/fltransportrequest SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT In addition to the excellent classroom instruction, the Bible Institute offers many other opportunities for students’ spiritual enrichment. These include: Discipleship Discipleship Groups (D-Groups): D-Groups are the primary mode of yearlong, intentional discipleship on campus. Led by staff members, these gender-specific groups of 3-5 people foster high accountability among like-minded students and are designed for open communication, growth, and encouragement. The Student Life Department will group students with a staff member to meet with throughout the year. Additionally, D-Group members may meet with their disciple maker one-on-one for deeper, more personal discipleship opportunities. Quiet Time Time is set aside each day for students to have their own personal time with the Lord known as “Quiet Time”. It is our desire that the students will take this important practice with them after they finish their time at Word of Life.
14 / Word of Life Bible Institute
Dorm Devotions Wednesday evenings students meet for a time of small group devotions. Students take turns sharing something with their roommates. This is a great opportunity for building unity and fellowship as a dorm family. Weekday Chapels Chapel services provide unique challenges from the Word of God on various topics of concern. Speakers include Word of Life staff as well as pastors, missionaries and Christian leaders from around the world. Missions Conference Keynote speakers and seminars as well as personal interaction with missionaries provide valuable insight and motivation. Several mission agencies are present to provide helpful information to students seeking God’s direction regarding their mission responsibilities. The conference dramatically changes the direction of many students’ lives. Sunday Observance We require students to attend a local church for Sunday worship. A list of recommended churches is made available to students.

STUDENT LIFE PHILOSOPHY At the Bible Institute we pursue life change! The Student Life Department facilitates this by maintaining an atmosphere conducive to growth in faith, hope, and love. This atmosphere is cultivated in the dorms, in co-curricular activities, in campus service assignments, and in ministry. Our philosophy describes the approach we take and is well summarized in the following verses: “We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.” (Colossians 1:28–29) To that end, the philosophy of the Student Life Department centers around three concepts: A. Christ Dependent because we tend to depend on ourselves. 1 Corinthians 1:30–31; 2 Corinthians 12:9–10; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:1–16; Colossians 2:1–23; 3:1–3 Scripture teaches that Christ is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. He is our life, our hope of glory, and the One in whom we are now hidden in God. Every day we are called to live out these realities by faith. We share the same concern as the apostle Paul, who said, “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 11:3) Therefore, we desire to continually point students to Christ, who is the object of their faith, and away from a dependence upon themselves and the tendency to pursue self-righteousness in their own strength by keeping the rules. True righteousness is through faith in Christ. Though rules are important for worship and fellowship, they can never produce genuine godliness, since they are powerless in dealing with the weakness of the flesh. Therefore, we seek to encourage students to keep their focus on Christ not on themselves nor on other people (Heb.12:1–2) and to rejoice in Him, not in their own accomplishments. B. Love Driven because we tend to neglect others. Matthew 22:36–40; Ephesians 5:1–5; Galatians 6:1–5; 1 Peter 1:22, 4:8–10 One of the characteristics of an authentic Christian community is love for others that is the result of having experienced God’s grace and love personally (John 13:34–35; 1 John 4:19). Humility, a teachable heart, and a desire to seek the best interests of others are hallmarks
16 / Word of Life Bible Institute
of sincere love. This often involves setting aside personal preferences in order to serve others or to help those who may be struggling in some area of life. In cases where a brother or a sister is struggling with sin, loving them enough to walk with them through the process of repentance and restoration provides a radically different motivation for dealing with the issue. No longer is the goal to simply ignore the problem, maintain appearances, or to ensure that offenders somehow pay for their sin in order to balance the scales. Instead, the intended goal is restored fellowship and joy. Therefore, it is our desire to model genuine peace-making and burden-bearing and to pursue forgiveness and restoration whenever sin has been uncovered in someone’s life by the Holy Spirit.
C. God Glorifying because we tend to live for self.
Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 6:18–20; 10:31; Corinthians 5:14–15; 1 Peter 2:11–12; 4:10–13
The end goal of all spiritual growth is to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, reflecting Him to the world rather than pursuing our selfish desires and drawing attention to ourselves (Romans 13:14). Therefore, we encourage students to view every dimension of life as a forum for putting Christ on display and to allow Him to live through them. Seeing all of life as a platform to glorify God rather than self makes the classroom, the dorm room, and one’s ministry or service assignment places where God is to be honored rather than ignored.
Parent Orientation 2026 / 17
COMPASSION AND DISCIPLINE It is our desire to provide a compassionate, nurturing environment at the Bible Institute that is more like a walled garden than a fortified compound. This does not imply an absence of rules or discipline. Love does not ignore truth nor does truth override the need to be loving. (Ephesians 4:15) Compassion does not preclude giving directions, issuing warnings, and providing correction and training that is consistent with truth. Discipline proves relationship. Instruction demonstrates love. (Hebrews 12:8) Furthermore, biblical discipline is not heartless, nor does it follow a predetermined set of responses. The Word of God exhorts us to “admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.” (1 Thessalonians 4:15) This implies a need to exercise discernment in choosing an appropriate course of action in response to misconduct rather than dealing exactly the same way with everyone regardless of their response to correction. Therefore, in all discipline situations, we will seek to choose a response that is in a student’s best interest and which is appropriate to his or her particular circumstance.
18 / Word of Life Bible Institute
BIBLICAL MANDATES AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES The administration of the Word of Life Bible Institute recognizes that there is a distinction between Biblical Mandates and Institutional Policies. Both can be found in our Standard of Conduct as well as in this Student Handbook. Biblical Mandates are specific commands from God’s Word directed to all believers at all times in all places such as the command to abstain from sexual immorality. (1 Thessalonians 4:3) Institutional Policies such as specific dress code expectations are best viewed as “house rules” intended to maintain an environment most conducive to the realization of our goals (no one appreciates chaos). As a spiritual, as well as an academic community, we ask students to adhere to both Biblical Mandates and Institutional Policies. While a student’s personal convictions may differ somewhat from Institutional Policies, their free choice to become a part of the Bible Institute community constitutes a commitment to willingly abide by them, both on and off campus, while the academic semesters are in session. (Hebrews 13:7,17) When at home during official school breaks, students are accountable to Biblical Mandates but not to Institutional Policies. It is expected that they will conduct themselves in a way that will honor the Lord and will not discredit their identity in Christ, their parents, their local church, or the ministry of Word of Life with which they are associated during the time of their enrollment. When determining appropriate responses to misconduct, attention will be given to recognizing the differences between Biblical Mandates and Institutional Policies. The goal of the Administration will always be to restore students to freedom and fellowship.
