Lord in Matthew 28: 18-20, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of
the world. Amen”.

Curriculum
The courses of study are for neither the
passive student nor someone who is interested in an easy way to a diploma.
Our curriculum is designed to give you a tremendous amount of accurate
information and to challenge your mind. It is appropriate to reference the
supreme authority of the Word in 2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to show thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth. God never intended for our walk with Him to be
without effort. He expects us to search the scriptures and other sources
to find our place in His great plan.
The curriculum
is well balanced and biblically based being described as evangelical, ecumenical,
with an emphasis placed on developing a solid Christian character for the
work of the ministry. All FBCS curriculum is accredited by the International Commission on Academic
Accreditation, Inc. ICAAI is not recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education.
