INTRODUCTION
Dear Student Prospective,
Greetings, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and welcome to Jesus World Bible College. Thank you for your interest in our college. You will find that our Bible College is unique. I was called to live by faith in 1979 when I surrendered to preach at a Baptist Bible college in Orlando, Florida. I heard a man preach one time, "that no one would appreciate your books and tapes if you did not charge people a fee for the materials." I then began charging a dollar each for my books and tapes. Shortly after while I was preaching a revival a little old lady came up to me after the service and said, "The Lord told me to tell you to go back there and take the prices off all your literature, for he has called you to live by faith, not by sight." Ever since that night, I've tried to live a life of freely giving. many times I have been taken advantage of, but my obedience to offer the Gospel without charge is between myself and God. those who have done wrongly toward me because of this will have to make thier own personal accounting when they meet the lord.
Number #1. This is not a diploma mill. The degrees offered at JWBC are not for sale. You must earn them through diligent study, presentations of essays, thesis, and desertation or (based upon your lifetime work experience and ministry experience) you made be awarded a degree by the boards review and approval. Your work experience however must be proven and legitimate. Do not attempt to take advantage of a college instution which is willing to provide you with the opportunity to receive an earned Christian accredited degree.
God has placed the desire upon my heart to equip every believer and minister of the gospel with Christian education or training. Therefore I encourage you to carefully read and prayerfully examine our college catalog.
This is YOUR STUDENT ORIENTATION GUIDE.
You will find it both interesting and informative; and we assure you that the content is absolutely true, and that all our degrees are absolutely free and Christian accredited. Then as you pray for God’s will to be revealed, should He prompt you to become a student of Jesus World Bible College, we will be happy to receive you after you send us proof of your high school education or GED. If you don't have a high school education but would like to study, so as to learn how to minister it is absolutely free and you are welcome to join us in your search of knowing God.
OUR LEGITIMATE STANDING

We am chartered by the International Ministerial Association, and the Spirit of Truth Ministries as a 501-3c non-profit church and Evangelistic organization and Bible College Institute. In addition, we have recently formed as a mission ministry a ministry named Volunteer Chaplains.

Jesus World Bible College is formally organized with a Board of Directors, Articles of Organization, Constitution, and By-Laws. We are affiliated with the Full Gospel of Christ Fellowship, Inc. for Tax-Exempt purposes and thus recognized by the I.R.S. as a non-profit 501(c) 3 organizations. Our Group Exemption Number (G.E.N.) is 3317 and our Employers Identification Number (E.I.N.) is 54-1669162.
In accordance with Rom.13:1-7, (sanctioning Human Government), Jesus World Bible College Institute has been properly registered with The Council of Higher Education of the Commonwealth of Virginia who, because our offerings are entirely religious, has granted us an excluded status to carry on our activities of granting religious degrees. Thus, Jesus World Bible College is officially recognized at the state level also, with the right to confer religious degrees. We perform our work with the full knowledge of this official agency. We are accredited under The Spirit of Truth Bible Institute in Richmond Virginia. The Council of Higher Education James Monroe Building, 101 North Fourteenth St., Richmond, VA. 23219. The Spirit of Truth Bible Institute is also recorded in Washington, DC. as a Christian Accredited Institution
CONDUCT STANDARDS
Jesus World Bible College is for sincere Christians who are dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ. We subscribe to the highest Christian standards, and we expect our students to also reflect high moral and spiritual standards of life. We endeavor to provide leadership by training and example.
We urge our students to find a good local Church to fellowship and worship God with regularly, unless they are a Pastor in their own Church. The Bible teaches us to so live as to never cast a reproach upon the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, or His Church. Our degrees are to be an honor to you, but we want you to likewise be an honor to our School and to the Lord.
The administration of Jesus World Bible College reserves the right to reject any student that we have good reason to believe is failing to live up to the Word of God standards. However, after genuine repentance and a period of counseling and restoration a student may be reinstated.
NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
Jesus World Bible College is open to all people and Christians of good moral character. We are happy to instruct and train God’s Children regardless of: Race, Nationality, Color, Cultural profile, Denominational background, Class, Gender, Economic status, or Ethnic Origin
Every student is admitted to the same educational programs, rights, privileges, and honors. And this is in conformity to Civil Rights Act of 1964, but not because of it.
STUDENT PRE-REQUISITES
Jesus World Bible College requires that students seeking admission either:
· Be a moral and mature person, who can demonstrate that they have the aptitude and capacity for doing the required work.
#must mail in proof of high school education or scan it and email it to us to be enrolled.
# Enrollment is your choice and at your pace. You decide. All we need is proof that you have a high school education or GED.
TRANSFERING CREDITS
Most colleges and universities use what is known as a "semester hour/credit system". Generally a credit is a semester hour. In a traditional Bible college, a semester hour is around 30 to 48 clock hours of classroom attendance.
Jesus World Bible College is willing to accept the credits you have earned from other legitimate Christian Schools whether they are accredited or not, as long as they teach the Bible.
We have accepted transfer students from Rhema, Oral Roberts University, International Seminary, Logo Bible College, and Richmond Virginia Seminary. Boston University School of Social Work, New Hampshire College, Roxbury Community College, State University of New York, Orange County Community College, etc. etc. etc.
Likewise, Jesus World Bible College credits have been acceptable at many other good schools, but whether a PARTICULAR school or agency will accept our credits and/or degrees is quite unpredictable. We cannot be responsible for the decisions and policies of others. It's a very subjective issue depending upon many circumstances. But I believe you will find most similar Bible schools will accept your degree from Jesus World Bible College
"If you plan to apply for some state licensing or a faculty position at a particular educational institution, it would be best to first make an inquiry as to the requirements of that agency or school at which you wish your education to be recognized. It is sad, but because we believe in the separation of church and state we are not recognized by many secular state colleges."
"For example at this time, a degree in Counseling from Jesus World Bible College will not allow you to set up a formal practice as a licensed professional counselor and charge fees for your services in your state. To deal with stress, depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, and all kinds of sexual disorders for pay requires a State license and a secular degree."
OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS, etc.
Students who take our outline courses and send in their essays, thesis, and dissertations are entitled to their personal transcript from Jesus World Bible College, upon request by the student. But you should wait until you have completed all your studies with us first. To enroll please mail or email proof of your high school diploma and education, depending on where you want to start and at what degree.
