Under the
authority of the Local Church and Pastor
NOTICE:
This program is being reorganized and will be available again
soon.
The Apprenticeship
College Education Program -
To Train And Educate The Young Preacher In The Local Church under
the direction of the local pastor.
The local pastor will not have to send his young men away to a
Bible college for them to be taught by men who may have never
pastored a church. You ,the pastor, will oversee your men through
this program. They will be able to obtain their degrees while
serving in your local church directly under your direction.
The Apprenticeship
Program is what every preacher needs to train and produce his own
preacher-boys.
WHAT IT IS NOT:
It is not a home Bible study course that will cost thousands of
dollars.
WHAT IT IS:
It is a course where the pastor guides the student through their
real ministry training, Bible studies and S.L.B.C. gives them
college credit for it.
WHAT YOU GET:
1. A Bible College program that is under the direction of the
local Pastor.
2. The same degree as if your student were a campus student for 4
years.
3. The degree he earns is accredited.
4. Your confidence that he is not polluted by false professors and
false brethren.
5. You will know that he has not been turned against you.
6. He can get a college ring for graduation through S.L.B.C.
7. The friendship that you and your students will build will be an
everlasting friendship.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Fill out
the online Personal
Application
2. Fill out the online Skills
Questionnaire
3. View the Basis
of Credit Hours needed
4. Someone from the SLBC will contact you.
5. You will oversee that the student has remitted all
required fees to SLBC.
6. You can view all of the courses that they will take
online.
7. You monitor their progress and help teach them the
materials.
8. All tests for the courses will be taken online and they
will receive a copy that you can review and place in their file.
9. The SLBC will then assess their progress and assign
their earned degree to the students.
10. Graduation ceremonies will be held at the S.L.B.C. where your
students can walk across the
stage in cap and gown to receive
their diplomas.

SUMMARY OF OUR
BELIEFS
| 1 |
We
believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative
Word Of God. Preserved in the Authorized King James Version
for the English speaking people. |
| 2 |
We believe
that there in One God, the Source, Support and End to all
things, eternally existent in three persons, God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. |
| 3 |
We
believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin
birth, His sinless life, His vicarious and atoning death,
His shed blood to atone for our sins, His bodily resurrection,
His ascension to the Father's right hand. His personal,
premillennial return for His saints and with His saints at
the Revelation. |
| 4 |
We
believe in the Deity and present ministry of the Holy
Spirit. Convicts the sinner, regenerates the believer,
indwells, seals, instructs, reproves, comforts and guides
the believer. That He fills and controls every life that is
wholly yielded to the Lord and His Word. |
| 5 |
We
believe that man is totally depraved, a sinner both by
nature an practice. Therefore estranged from the Lord,
completely lost and blinded spiritually and in need of the
conviction and regeneration work of the Holly Spirit. |
| 6 |
We
believe Satan in real, a mighty fallen angel, with great
power allowed by God for a time, until His final destiny of
eternal judgment in the lake of fie. |
| 7 |
We
believe that salvation is the gift of God, offered to all
men freely by God's grace and received by personal faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for our
sins, and repentance of our sins. |
| 8 |
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto
"Eternal Life" and the unsaved unto everlasting
"Judgment" in the "Lake of Fire". |
| 9 |
We
believe in a literal "Heaven" with streets of gold
and a literal "Hell" with fire and brimstone. |
| 10 |
We
believe the "Church" is a local, visible, body of
baptized believers who come together in obedience to Christ
to carry out His commands as dictated in the New Testament. |
| 11 |
We
believe and practice both personal and ecclesiastical separation
on the basis of the Word of God. |
