Calvary Chapel Bible Institute (CCBI)
Calvary Chapel Bible Institute was established in 2012 in order to equip those who may attend for the great commission in their lives!
Our desire is for CCBI to be a place for serious students to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
If you have any QUESTIONS at all please submit them on the contact page...
Purpose & Vision: To Know God and Equip Servants
• Before Jesus said to Peter, “Feed My sheep,” He asked, “Do you love Me?”
Until this question is settled we are not ready for true service. Our great desire at CCBi is to see each student totally committed and abandoned to Jesus Christ, loving Him with all their heart.
• To know Him is to love Him and we know Him through His Word. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” We purpose to give you the whole counsel of God, from Genesis to Revelation, which is sufficient to equip you.
• “Then he said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me’.” Our Lord came not to be served, but to serve and give His life a ransom for us all. We pray you will receive “the manifold grace of God” in order to develop the humble heart of a servant and be strengthened “to bear much fruit, adorning the doctrine of God our Savior” in every respect.
• This purpose and vision will be accomplished as Zechariah prophesied, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” We expect you will be conformed more into the image of Jesus Christ and endowed for ministry by the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Accreditation
CCBi is not accredited and is not currently pursuing accreditation for two main reasons. First, we wish to continue having local pastors teach Bible classes. Some of these pastors—although called by God, gifted, and experienced in teaching—do not have Masters Degrees. Second, we want to keep the cost of tuition affordable so that more students have the opportunity to study at CCBi and remain free from school debt. Accreditation by a recognized agency would mean that we would have to abandon these priorities. Instead, we have chosen to remain unaccredited and seek to demonstrate the credibility of CCBi through compliance with generally accepted accreditation standards, articulation agreements with accredited colleges, and especially through the spiritually fruitful lives of the students who have attended. We are inspired by Paul's words to the Corinthians, "Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men." (2 Corinthians 3:1-2
Graduation Requirements
