5 A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR The Bible College is essential to fulfilling the Mission of Matthew 28: 18 & 19. Leadership is tasked in every generation with the teaching of God s purpose to its generation. The Church of Jesus Christ is commanded to go and make disciples of every Nation. That is National Discipleship. The Bible College is fundamental in national discipleship. Consequently, we are reminded in Romans 10:14-15: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! KJV The Bible College provides a wide range of subjects to prepare those that are called academically and spiritually to the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 5

6 What is so interesting is that the command, as noted, is a collective responsibility. I therefore wish to invite denominations and churches, who would like their leadership to be better prepared for ministry, to see our Bible College as a partner in the Co-mission to National discipleship. This is an open invitation to all who have the Call of God on their life, and to those who want to know more about God. Come and better prepare yourself to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Patrick Paul Director A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 6

7 A LETTER FROM THE DEAN Congratulations! You have taken the steps to seeking advancement in ministering the gift(s) that God has given to you for the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Assemblies of God Bible College offers systematic, Christ-centered training to men and women who are interested in devoting themselves to Christian service as a laborer in God s vineyard. The Bible College will inspire you to develop and maintain sensitivity to the ministry of the Holy Spirit so that the fruits and gifts of the Spirit can be manifested through you as you reach out to the lost. Here are several important reasons to continue your education through the Assemblies of God Bible College: 1. We are always on the lookout for the best instruction available from experts in their field to give our students the very best equipping experiences. 2. The Assemblies of God Bible College has a "high end" curriculum, with qualified faculty teaching course content. Taking a Bible College course is always a wise investment. A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 7

8 3. The Great Commission commands us to make disciples by teaching them. The essence of true discipleship requires a lifestyle of teaching and learning. Continual study of the testaments of Christ stimulates an incessant aspiration to reach the lost and make disciples for Christ. 4. A commitment to a lifetime of personal and spiritual growth is a commitment to being an active, fully engaged lifelong learner. The lifestyle does not stop by attaining a degree but continues throughout one's life and equips for the work of ministry. (By the way, it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks!) 5. Taking a course "for credit" deepens learning and integrates what is learned into the heart and life of a disciple. Just being exposed to ideas is not only transformational, but also provides divine revelation on a personal level. You have chosen well. We look forward to serving you. In His Grip, Rev. Dr. Beverley E. Strachan Academic Dean A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 8

9 GENERAL INFORMATION LOCATION The Bible College is located in the Assemblies of God National Office facilities at #1 Warrick Street in Shirlea, Nassau, The Bahamas. HISTORY During the 1960 s, the need for a Bible School to train men and women to take their place in Ministry was recognized in The Bahamas and the vision was realized. The Department of Foreign Missions, Springfield, Missouri was contacted and a request was made for a Missionary to start the school. Rev. Finis Bradshaw was commissioned to begin the work. September 1965 marked the commencement of the Assemblies of God Bible Institute in the Bahamas. The curriculum consisted of a three-year, six period, and six week term course as recommended by the Department of Foreign Missions. During the winter of 1965, Sister Walker, Bible College coordinator from Springfield, paid a visit and the curriculum was changed to a four-year, four period, and six week term course. Sister Walker also made recommendations in order to help the Family Islands. There were eight students enrolled during the first year of operation and five during the second year. Classes were held at night time from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. three nights per week. Rev. Gary Curry, who was serving as A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 9

10 General Superintendent, taught one class and Rev. Bradshaw taught the remaining classes. The classes were held at Evangelistic Temple. After Rev. Bradshaw left The Bahamas, the school discontinued. In 1971, under the leadership of Missionary John Bunney, a successful stride was made to revive the operation of the school. Over forty students enrolled in the night school in Nassau. Extension classes were started in some of the Family Islands. A Constitution and Bylaws were presented to the twenty-eighth Annual Conference of The Assemblies of God in The Bahamas in May of 1972 and adopted. A Bible Institute Day was inaugurated. A full slate of subjects was offered. The faculty consisted of Rev. and Mrs. John Bunney, Rev. Roston Davis, Sister Kelcine Hamilton and Rev. Vernon Moses. When Rev. and Mrs. John Bunney left The Bahamas on furlough, Rev. Vernon Moses was asked to oversee the operation of the Bible School in his absence. Rev. Bunney decided not to return to The Bahamas and Rev. Moses was made Bible College Director. The school moved from Evangelistic Centre to Evangelistic Temple. After Evangelistic Temple was damaged by fire, classes were held under a tent on the grounds of Evangelistic Temple. The Assemblies of God in The Bahamas purchased a building in the Palmdale area where the school held classes for several years. The Assemblies of God in The Bahamas decided to sell the building in Palmdale and purchased a more suitable building along with adjacent property in Shirlea to construct a new facility for the Assemblies of God A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 10

11 Administrative Offices and the Bible College. The building was constructed and dedication took place on Sunday, December 9th, The Bible School progressed with Bahamian teachers and God provided two Missionary couples to assist with the school s program. The school has been upgraded to college level and offers a full slate of subjects. The College offers a Christian Workers Certificate, Associate of Arts Degree, Diploma, and Bachelor of Arts Degree. The Assemblies of God Bible College in cooperation with Global University also offers a Masters of Arts Degree in Ministerial Studies - Broad Plan. To God be the glory! BRANCH SCHOOLS The Assemblies of God Bible College has three branch schools. They are located in Grand Bahamas, Abaco and Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands. DOCTRINAL STATEMENT The Assemblies of God in The Bahamas Bible College subscribes to the Statement of Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God in The Bahamas. The following is our statement of faith: The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. The one true God has revealed Himself as the A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 11

12 eternally self-existent I AM, the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Son of God, who was in the beginning God with God, for the sake of man and was called Emmanuel - that is, God became man. Man was created good and upright; for God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, being crucified, tasted death for all men; He arose from the dead and ascended to the Father. Whosoever repents and believes on Him may have eternal life. Man is justified by faith in Jesus Christ apart from works. The Son of God baptizes believers with the Holy Ghost for life and service. The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Cor. 12:4-10, 28), but different in purpose and use. A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 12

13 Holiness of life is the result of the believers identification with Christ in His death, resurrection and present throne life in glory. It is attained by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Sanctifier through the power of the Holy Ghost. The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven (Eph. 1:22, 23; 2:22; Heb. 12:23). A divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the church in: (1) Evangelization of the world (Mark 16:15-20) (2) Worship of God (John 4:23, 24), (3) Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Eph. 4:11-16). Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matt 8:16, 17: James 5:14-16). The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church (1Thess 4:16, 17: Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor.15: 51, 52). A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 13

14 The Second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years (Zech. 14:5; Matt.24: 27, 30; Rev. 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6). This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel (Ezek. 37:21, 22; Zeph. 3:10, 20; Romans 11:26, 27) and the establishment of universal peace (Isaiah 11:6-9; Psalm 72:3-8; Micah 4:3, 4). There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels and beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Matt 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Rev. 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8). We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness (2 Peter 3:13; Rev.21: 22). OBJECTIVES The purpose of The Assemblies of God Bible College is to offer systematic, Christ-centred training to men and women who are interested in devoting themselves to A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 14

30 Course Descriptions First Year First Semester (BIB112) Bible Study Methodology This is a survey of the methods of Bible study. Included as a part of this study are the synthetic, inductive, biographical, historical, theological, and devotional methods. For this course, the inductive study method will be emphasized and will include the steps of observation, interpretation, application, and correlation. Principles in these steps are applied to biblical passages and books. (MUS112) Fundamentals of Music Music is one of the methods effectively used in the world today to spread the gospel. David sang before the Lord. Paul the apostle wrote that the church should always come together with a psalm or a hymn. Music itself can move the most calloused person, and it can be instrumental in leading people to the Lord. This course deals specifically with music in church services, in evangelism, in cross-cultural ministry, and as an adjunct to Christian education. This course is profitable for the Christian who plans to lead the local church in the field of music. A set of DVDs integrates the theoretical with the practical. (MIN142) Great Commission Strategies This course establishes a biblical theology of The Great Commission. It presents an in-depth study of evangelism and discipleship principles that are universal in their application.

Third Year First Semester (THE322) Biblical Theology of Prayer This is a study of the great prayers of the Bible and the lessons that can be learned for our prayer ministry today. The course stresses the importance of and impact of prayer in contemporary life and encourages students to pray regularly and fervently. (MIN312) Church Education Pastors or those responsible for the educational program in the local church will find The Church s Educational Task a valuable course.

(BIB312) Major Prophets The major prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, spoke God s message to His people many years ago. Yet their message is as important for us today as it was then. In this course, the student gains an understanding of who these men were, why God called them to be His messengers, what their messages were, and how to apply these messages. (MIN352) Pastoral Counseling Most students have noticed that people around them have emotional, spiritual, economic, and physical problems. Someone with serious personal problems may not hear even the most persuasive sermon. The Christian student, layperson, pastor, or religious worker must find ways to help people with their problems. This course looks at the different perspectives from which pastoral counseling may be seen. It emphasizes the necessary steps in preparing to become a pastoral counselor and gives attention to A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 40

41 legal and practical ramifications of counseling.

This course investigates some of the current approaches to counseling and sets guidelines for counseling settings and sessions. (BIB322) Romans and Galatians Paul s Salvation Letters: Galatians and Romans give the student a deep appreciation of the apostle Paul. In the midst of church planting, he explains the gospel, confronts false teachers, distinguishes between law and grace, and shows how the gospel is rooted in Old Testament Scripture. His systematic explanation of the gospel to the Romans gives the student insight into the major doctrines of sin, salvation, and sanctification. The student also learns how union with Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit enable him or her to mature spiritually and live victoriously. (THE312) Systematic Theology III The systematic study of the biblical doctrines of the Holy Spirit, the Church, and last things with appreciation of the history and development of Christian theology are considered.

The course treats the origins, development, tenets, and literature of each and evaluates each in the light of Christian concepts. The course concludes with an analysis of the departure of heretical sects from orthodox Christian principles. A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 41

42 Third Year Second Semester (HSC312) Foundations for Health Foundations for Health is a study of the principles of health and hygiene. With the theme of illness prevention, it examines nutritional needs, immunizations, environmental hygiene, and other methods of disease control. The course focuses on practical methods for protecting health, such as safety in the home, safe care during pregnancy and childbirth, and water purification. It also stresses how to recognize symptoms of many common ailments and how to treat these problems to prevent further sickness or complications. The course concludes with instructions on basic first aid for emergency situations. (SOS312) Marriage and Family This is a practical survey of marriage and family, from dating to being a grandparent.

The course concludes with the practical application of ethics to the minister s home life and ministry. (MIN332) Ministry Internship Ministry Internship requires each student to work with a local pastor in a local church during each term of the third academic year. The student will have opportunity to apply and integrate academic studies through exposure to a well-rounded overview of the ministries A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 42

43 of a church and the work of a pastor through observation, experience, and directed readings. The assigned Bible School mentor and the local pastor will jointly supervise and monitor the student s progress and work out specifics of the internship plan. The plan should cover basic pastoral functions of shepherd, teacher, and leader, including the pastor s devotional life, family life, time management, and personal health. The plan for church life should cover worship/prayer, reaching/teaching/counseling, developing relationships in the church, handling conflicts, marriage/family, organizing and mobilizing ministries, training leaders, evangelism, discipling new converts, and missions. In addition, the plan should include practical aspects of special ceremonies, administration, finances, and working with leaders. (EDU312) Principles of Teaching This course presents a Christian philosophy of education based on the concepts implied in Luke 2:52: Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. The first unit deals primarily with the characteristics and needs of students at different ages and considers ways Christian teachers can meet these needs. The second unit looks into the fundamental responsibilities of the teacher and how to fulfill them. Unit three provides practical help in the use of contemporary educational methods. The last unit presents the steps in preparing, presenting, and evaluating lessons. (BIB342) Prison Epistles Analysis of Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Philemon, all written while the author was in chains. Attention will focus on the light these letters shed on Paul s life and thought, as well as on the challenge of their message, and to the relation of Christ to the church. A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 43

44 (BIB332) Wisdom Literature This course introduces the student to the ancient pursuit of wisdom, both in Israel and among her neighbors, and the genre, content, and social context of the wisdom writings. The course examines Old Testament wisdom books and wisdom writings produced in the period between the Testaments. Attention is given to themes that run throughout the wisdom tradition and the ways these themes develop and change in successive wisdom writings. The course also considers the ways wisdom writings helped shape the New Testament and continues to influence the church today. (MIN322) Youth Ministries An introduction to youth ministry through the local church and Para church organizations. Students gain a working knowledge of youth ministry philosophies, strategies, and programming models. Students also investigate theological principles that undergird youth ministry development and strategy. Fourth Year (THE453) Apologetics Is there a procedure for dealing with doubt? Can Scripture be verified? Are miracles possible? Where is history taking us? The author discusses these and other questions in Apologetics. Faith and knowing are the two consistent themes of this course. The Study Guide examines and explains the relationship between them. This course will help the student persuade others that there is no better way to follow than that of faith in, and obedience to, the God of the Christian Scriptures. (MIN342) Church Organization and Parliamentary Law The organization and administration of the church are A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 44

45 considered. Subject considers church polity including presbyterial, congregational, and episcopal forms. Specific attention is given to the structure and organization of the Assemblies of God. In addition to the organization, parliamentary law is discussed and dramatized. (COM453) Cross-Cultural Communications How do cultural differences affect the way people interact? How might one improve his or her communication skills in a shrinking world? Cross-Cultural Communications attempts to help the student discover answers to these current problems. Perhaps the most important aspect of this course relates to the word mission. The course is dedicated to helping the student become a sent one to present Christ and His kingdom in an environment other than his or her own. To do this, the course addresses how communication and culture relate, how to reach people where they are, how different people think and express ideas across cultures and subcultures, and how the thoughts and expressions of people affect their behavior. (SOS412)(COM452) Cultural Anthropology This course is a study of the cultural values and differences of the various peoples of the world. The study seeks to develop an understanding of, and an appreciation for, the ways people of various cultural backgrounds perceive reality and relate to each other. Particular application is made on how these insights prepare individuals for cross-cultural living and ministry. (BIB422) Daniel and Revelation This is a study of the historical setting, symbolism, and meaning of the last book of the Bible.

There is a pastoral focus of understanding, illustrating, and applying the timeless scriptural truths of this prophetic book. A/G Bahamas Bible College Catalog Page 45

46 (LDR412) Guidelines for Leadership The selection and development of Christian leaders is one of the major challenges the church faces. This course provides students with a contemporary theology of Christian leadership. It discusses leadership theory, presents servant-leadership as a model for Christian leaders, discusses biblical principles of leadership, and describes the major functions of leadership. (BIB452) Hebrews A Study in the Book of Hebrews uses both analytical and topical studies to develop the main themes in the Epistle to the Hebrews. An introductory study of the structure of the book helps the student see more clearly its relationship to the Old Testament and the pattern of its development. Historical information on the background of the book gives an understanding of its warnings and exhortations. Numerous charts and outlines emphasize the main truths of the Epistle and are of great value to those who wish to preach or teach from Hebrews. (BIB423) John s Gospel and Letters The author examines the life, character, and ministry of Jesus Christ. This examination includes not only the historical context but also the divine perspective presented by John the Evangelist. The study of this course increases the student s understanding of John s Gospel and the Letters and aids her or him in there interpretation. (LDR422) Managing Conflict This course is a study of the effective managing of conflict, particularly in the church. The course draws from a scriptural foundation with input from contemporary Christian and leadership literature.
