Kingdom I Course D etails ​ Course #: SYS 105 Course Credits: 3 Instructor: Dr. Chris Romano Course Description ​ Kingdom I is designed to equip and educate every student with the understanding that the unifying and central theme of the Bible is the Kingdom of God. Beyond formulating a right doctrinal position on the subject, students will be encouraged to encounter the power of the Kingdom for everyday living. The Kingdom of God, therefore, is not merely a systematic branch of study, but a realm and rule in which every Christian is privileged to experience and expected to serve.

That there is only one God, who has revealed Himself in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the absolute Lordship and deity of Christ including His preexistence, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, and His eventual return to the earth in glory and power to establish His eternal kingdom. In the inerrancy, authority, reliability, and divine inspiration of the Holy Bible. That nothing can replace the importance of the local church in the program of God. Each local church should be under the authority of the Word, the oversight of the Holy Spirit, and should determine its own character and role in obedience to the Word of God. That the great tasks of the Church are worldwide evangelism and equipping the saints. That entrance into the Church is through the “new birth” which is brought about by genuine repentance of sin and confession of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior. That membership in the Church is signified by baptism and the joyful participation in its worship, fellowship, sacraments, witness, and acceptance of its discipline. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is an essential component of effective Christian life and witness. That the Church cannot fulfill its mission apart from the five ascension gift ministries that Christ has sent into the world: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. We accept that it is part of our task to recognize those people and to assist in equipping them to fulfill their ministry. That Christ purchased bodily healing for every believer at Calvary and this healing should be appropriated by faith. In the reality of Satan and of the kingdom of darkness over which he reigns and of the absolute triumphs of Christ over the devil and all his works. In the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ as witnessed by the scriptures. That victorious Christian life is built upon a proper understanding of the Bible and upon the exercise of the spiritual authority imputed to the believer by that gift of righteousness. In the resurrection of the dead at Christ's return, in the certainty of God's judgment, and in the inescapable result of the judgment foretold in the scriptures for both the just and the unjust.

Ministry Our Department of Ministry has many cutting-edge ministry training programs and fields of study to help equip followers of Jesus Christ for the work of the ministry. Thus, “Training Real People for Real Purpose” is not just our motto but also our purpose. Whether you are called to a pulpit or a profession, a congregation, or a career – Vision Christian Bible College & Seminary is here to equip you to make a difference. Most of us think of ministry as the work done by pastors, missionaries, Christian conference speakers, or evangelists. We rarely think of work done by bankers, lawyers, engineers, or homemakers, etc. as the work of the ministry. We believe all arenas of work are to be viewed as our act of worship to the Lord and our mission field. ​ Whether you are called as an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, janitor, factory worker, engineer, worship leader, etc., our programs of study are all centered around advancing God’s Kingdom in your environment. Operating from a Kingdom perspective means studies are not only focused on the various ministries that labor in the church but also in the marketplace, the community, the prison environment, and in missions. We are prepared to equip you to be culturally relevant without becoming culturally compromised and to influence the world for the Kingdom of God. Meet The Team Dr. Ron King Department Head Dr. H.G.

Transcripts should be submitted with the application for admission. Life Experience Credit Life Experience Credit is granted by the Academic Board of VCBCS. A student is eligible for consideration of advanced standing on the basis of life experience if the student meets the following criteria: 1. The student applicant is at least 28 years of age. 2. The applicant has at least eight years of leadership experience in the Christian ministry. 3. The applicant has provided a life experience portfolio including a curriculum vitae and letters of recommendation. 4. The applicant has never received equivalent credit for life experience in any other degree program. Summary: Experience is a prerequisite for consideration for Life Experience Credit, but years of experience are not adequate in and of themselves to guarantee credit. Life Experience Credit depends on the ability to analyze one’s experiences and to identify learning derived from them. Experience does not warrant credit. Credit is granted for the learning derived from the experience. Moreover, an experience, which was judged, and actually was a failure, may be a more helpful learning experience. This illustrates the fact that Life Experience Credit is more closely related to learning from the experience than it is to the experience itself.
