. . . and Jesus said

If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and

He shall give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever . . .

I will not leave you comfortless,

I will come to you.

. . . the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

PHILOSOPHY

The Christian Bible College and Seminary was founded to make available valid and affordable Theological degrees and/or a Christian Counseling Therapist Certification to all who labor in His service. The high standard of administration, instruction, and guidance is reflected by our dedicated staff at CBCS. You can be assured the Christian way is our way.

Your goal is our goal . . . because of Him.

You'll find our tuition is probably lower when compared to similar schools, it is intended that way. "Man does not live by bread alone." Because the income of those who labor for the Master does not compare favorably with other demanding professions, CBCS tuitions and study materials are consistently reasonable. Financial assistance is assured for every student.

TRANSFER CREDITS

The Christian Bible College and Seminary will accept all transfer academic credits you have earned from other Theological schools.* The Faculty Review Board will also evaluate credits from secular schools, and acknowledge career based life/work/ministry experience. You may have years of part time work in Christian service which would be of credit value.

*Note: Your transcripts from schools attended do not have to accompany the application, they may be requested in writing (Federal Law) to be mailed to the CBCS Registrar.

EVALUATION FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE CREDITS

Traditional colleges and Accrediting Agencies have established the following guidelines for the maximum credit received for life/work/ministry:

Associate Degree - 50% or 45 credit hours

Bachelor Degree - 25% or 30 credit hours

Master Degree - 10% or 10 credit hours

Doctoral Degree - 60 academic credit hours required, no l/w/m credits

There is no charge for transfer credits to CBCS. Certificates, diplomas, grades, CEU credits and U.S. Military Service are also given consideration. Theological Theses or Doctoral Dissertations - published or unpublished - will be considered. One may have more academic/life experience credits than the minimum required - many applicants do. But no matter the number of l/w/m credits it is the policy of CBCS (and Missouri Educational Statutes) that the student must satisfactorily complete a minimum of one semester (15 credits) to earn the desired degree. The Faculty Review Board will carefully evaluate your application, you will promptly receive a competent, qualified evaluation report.
