A Message from the President

There are multitudes of individuals who would like to further their Biblical training and education. What is stopping them? It may be a financial roadblock, or they may be like so many people who hold full-time jobs. This leaves limited time in their schedules for attending the traditional, Christian college or seminary. Many hunger for more of the Bible, and a deeper relationship with Jesus. Lay pastors and ministers, who may have been positioned as leaders by the Lord, may not have had a firm academic foundation or may lack the needed credentials. Where can they find fulfillment?

For the past six years Christ Fellowship has taken strategic steps, in providing The Way Of The Cross, which is as series of courses and phases individuals may take to help them grow toward leadership within the local church. As we strive to continue on the Way of the Cross,

Dr. Debra Schwartz
President

we expand the vision by training and releasing men and women into the five-fold ministry to spread the gospel. We recognize the need to take progressive steps toward providing additional leadership training for men and women who desire to serve the Lord, reach out to the lost, andconsistently mature in their personal walk with Christ. One of the keys in fulfilling that vision is the establishing the Liberty Center Bible Institute. This will be a hands-on Bible training center that will allow the student to put faith into action by offering practical application opportunities while earning advanced diplomas. We hope to partner our students with existing ministries, churches, and organizations in a unified effort to reach the lost, educate the body and multiply our efforts toward revival.

We desire to bring the knowledge and the love of the Lord to the World. Jesus tells us to know the truth and the truth will make us free. Yet often in seminary settings, there is an emphasis on academics, (truth) but there are few, culturally relevant field experiences offered to balance the education process. The ever-unfolding vision of training leaders is to offer a quality, inter-denominational Bible Training Center in the Tri-State area for all Christians. That vision has now become a reality and for this we give God all the praise.

As a ministry of Christ Fellowship, the training center will be located at the new Liberty Center on Elizabeth Avenue, which is located in the heart of the historic city of Elizabeth. It is more than just a Bible study course offered by a local church. We are a member of the Accrediting Commission International, a private accrediting body (private accreditating bodies are not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education) and are a branch training center of Freedom Bible College and Seminary, located in Rogers Arkansas.

Liberty Center Bible Institute is not recognized in New Jersey as credit bearing and diplomas earned here are not permitted to be utilized as academic (or secular) credentials in the state of New Jersey.

The Liberty Center Bible Institute will allow students the opportunity to earn an advanced diploma through our program. This program has been designed to offer anointed teaching and training through a host of Biblical courses. Students attend classes one or two times a week. The rest of the time their work is done in the comfort of their own home and in practical application. This flexible plan, called, Assisted Academics, will allow a serious student to complete a four-year diploma or certificate program in two years. Those who could never attend full-time seminary because of full-time job responsibilities will find this home study pace most beneficial.

Curriculum

The courses of study are for neither the passive student nor someone who is interested in an easy way to a Bible 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.

We offer diplomas in Theology, Ministry, Biblical Studies, Youth Ministry, Christian Education, Christian Counseling Psychology and Church History. (Note: Not all diploma programs are available at all times).

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 Liberty Center Bible Institute curriculum is accredited by the International Commission on Academic Accreditation, Inc. ICAAI is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

About Freedom Bible College and Seminary
by Founder, Dr. Joel Philip Church

The vision of Concepts of Freedom Ministries is broad and vast. Remembering precisely when Vicki and I began hearing God speak a special vision of ministry into our spirits is difficult. Starting as a seemingly insignificant spark, this vision grew through the years. By 1991 it had grown into a burning flame in our

minds and spirits. It was during that year that we went into action. Laying aside our personal preferences and walking in faith, we began to see the picture unfold.

This vision became the life blood of Concepts of Freedom Ministries. CFM, along with Freedom Bible College and Seminary, Freedom Bible College & Seminary Branch System, Freedom Christian Ministries Association, and Joel Philip Church Ministries have home offices located in Rogers, Arkansas, USA.

FBCS has an impeccable reputation for quality and honesty. Operating as a true ministry of the Lord, FBCS offers a solid Biblical education to anyone who really wants to apply himself or herself to the Biblical concept, “Study to show thyself approved...”

Degrees from FBCS are recognized in the Christian community as highly desirable. The way to a covet degree from FBCS is not easy, but when you have completed the work you will be proud to say, “I am a graduate of Freedom Bible College and Seminary.”
