WCBCS is an online Bible college that is wholly committed to educating and training men and women to serve in ministry, whether vocationally or voluntarily. As a Bible college, the heart of the teaching will center on the infallible and inerrant Word of God and its’ relevance to all areas of life. However, we also understand there are numerous practical issues in education that must be addressed. As such, this is the WCBCS philosophy of education statement:

1. Education is focused on truth, and God is the ultimate source of Truth. He reveals Himself to us in nature; in His Son; and in the Bible, the only inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient rule for faith and practice (Psalm 8:2-4; Hebrews 1:1-3; II Timothy 3:16, 17).

2. The Lordship of Christ and the sovereignty of God are all-inclusive; therefore, all areas of life and learning are regarded as sacred (Romans 11:36).

3. Christian education is the result of all knowledge being tested against, and integrated with, a biblically based view of God and the world (Colossians 1:16, 17; John 1:3).

4. The Christian teacher/professor, empowered by the Holy Spirit, guides and nurtures students through instruction, admonition and personal example. The Christian teacher/ professor seeks to encourage the spiritual development of students since this is the foundation for their academic, social and personal growth (Colossians 1:28; Proverbs 1:7).

5. Christian education occurs as the Holy Spirit works effectively in the hearts and minds of the students. Through general revelation students learn of God and His world (Acts 14:17; Romans 1:18-20). Special revelation and regeneration are regarded as essential components of Christian education because a personal relationship with Jesus Christ provides students with the ability to view life from a Biblical perspective (1 Corinthians 2:14).

6. God has created all students with unique talents as well as particular developmental growth patterns. Therefore, the learning process is enhanced as teachers develop teaching strategies and environments to help students grow (Psalm 139:13-15; Romans 12:4-8).

7. Service to others inside and outside the online classroom environment contributes to the development of each student's talents and abilities (1 Corinthians 12).

8. Excellence in the quality of education offered to students brings glory to God and provides a compelling witness to our neighbors (Philippians 1:9-11).

9. The goal of Christian education is to develop students who will serve God and impact their community and the world by thinking and acting biblically in all areas of life (Romans 12:2).

10. An online educational community allows for the training of anyone, anywhere, at any time and offers a relevant, contemporary means of fulfilling The Great Commission to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15).
