The Vision

Seed Faith Christian
School of Ministry is a non-profit, evangelical,
inter-denominational ministry specializing in ministerial training.

The primary purpose of Seed Faith
Christian School
of Ministry is to provide education and training to Ministers, Bible Teachers,
and Christian Workers.  This task is
achieved with a positive commitment to the bible in believing that it is
God’s infallible word.  As
such, it is trustworthy, authoritative, and sufficient.

Our graduates will be
prepared to go into all the world as commanded by Christ in Mark 16:15, as
Evangelists, Teachers, Missionaries, Musicians, and Chaplains.

Our vision for the future is
unique in that we believe that Seed
Faith Christian
School of Ministry is a
school to prepare God’s people for the great end time harvest.  There is a fresh wind of God’s
Spirit blowing on our world and it requires innovative Ministries with
innovative delivery systems to bring the Gospel to the nations.

Yet, we must never forget our
focus – teach all nations and make disciples.

Dear Prospective Student,

Greetings, in the name of
Jesus, and welcome to Seed
Faith Christian
School of Ministry &
Theological Seminary (SFCSM&TS), thank you for you interest in our
school.  The Bible says, “And He gave some, apostle; and some
prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers: for the perfecting
of saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ.”  Eph.
4:11-12.  Therefore, if God has
called you into one of these five fold ministries, then Seed Faith Christian School
of Ministry & Theological Seminary may be for you.

The
Bible also says, in Hosea 4:6, “My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”  It is our main focus to educate through
the Word of God and to provide ministerial training so that your knowledge may
be increased.

The
Philosophy of SFCSM&TS is education without dogmatism, indoctrination
without denominationalism, and honor without vain glory.

Our
courses are intended to not only promote intellectual development but to
produce spiritual growth.  There is
no bliss in ignorance and it is good to be enlightened and seek academic
excellence, but most of all we want you to build Christian character.  Studying the Word of God sharpens the
mind, but it must be admitted deep down in your spirit to the purity of your
soul.  Endeavors without
understanding can be disastrous but illumination without application is a
pity.  James 1:22 says, “Be
ye doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving yourself.”  In other words, if you do not
incorporate the Word into your own daily situation, you are only fooling
yourself.  Learning and life must be
integrated.  True Christianity is a way
of life, not an intellectual pursuit apart from heart experience.  We will not be judged by our doctrines
and creeds, but by our works and deeds.
(II Cor. 5:10).  Studious
accomplishments must be balanced with spiritual striving.  We should pray as much as we read and
worship as much as we study.
Therefore, SFCSM&TS stresses spiritual compassionate exercise first
and mental deposits second.  We
place heart-Christianity over head-Christianity.

Can
you translate your schooling into service and your academics into actions?  Is your first priority to the Lord?  If so, then you are on target!

Sincerely,

Dr. Ann Adwaters

Chancellor

Conduct Standards

SFCSM&TS
is designed for sincere Christians who are dedicated to the Lord.  The faculty subscribes to the highest
Christian standards and we expect our students to do the same.  We urge students to find a good local
church to fellowship and worship God regularly unless they are a Pastor of their
own church or vigorously follow an Evangelistic Ministry.

Our degrees
are an honor to you but we want you to be likewise an honor to our school.  The administration reserves the right to
reject or dismiss any student that we have good reason to believe is failing to
live up to Christian standards.
However, after genuine repentance, and a period of counseling and
restoration, a student may be reinstated.

Non-Discrimination Policy

SFCSM&TS
admits students regardless of race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin.

Changes

The
board of Directors reserves the right to change, alter or modify any
information in this catalog without prior notice.  We anticipate modifications in each
addition, for without change, there is no growth or progress.  We have attempted to anticipate all your
concerns, but if you have any questions please write or call the administrative
office, and we will respond promptly as possible.

Admission
procedure

Applicant
must be at least 18 years of age.
If seeking a degree, the applicant must submit an official high school
transcript or GED equivalent and original transcript from colleges or
universities attended.  The
transcript is to be submitted with the admission application.  All students are required to provide spiritual
resume of any ministry related experience.

Admission
continuance

All
students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 to remain in
good standing.  Degree seeking
students who have a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 will be
given a chance to pull his average up by the end of the semester.  If there is still a problem the student
may be advised to take the enrichment program.

The
grading scale used is the same standard used by most colleges and universities.

100 – 96 = A+

79 – 78 = C+

97 – 94 = A

77 – 74 = C

93 – 90 = A-

73 – 70 = C-

89 – 88 = B+

69 – 68 = D+

87 – 84 = B

67 – 64 = D

83 – 80 = B-

63 – 60 = D-

59 & Below = F

How long does it take?

It takes a year just to get in some colleges.  Then the degree obtained locks you into
a “time system”, (almost like a prison sentence).  And it can take up to six years to
receive a Doctorial Degree from some universities.  But hanging around five or six years
does not necessarily make a person more successful than someone else who
completes their studies in a fraction of the time.  Total time elapsed is not the main
ingredient of learning.

For instance,
Jesus completely trained the apostles for tremendous miracle ministries in less
than 3.5 years.  This is because our
spiritual walk is not controlled by the calendar.  Only our worldly appointments are
subject to the clock.  Christ
himself is our wisdom (II Cor. 1:24),
and the operation of the Holy Spirit supersedes both time and space.

Therefore, Seed Faith
Christian School
of Ministry & Theological Seminary does not follow any set semester
schedule.  We operate continuously
year round.  The Lord does a quick
work in these last days (Roman 9:26)
so SFCSM&TS has an intensive study program, and an accelerated program of
study.  Our courses are so time
tailored, that you can complete them in a relatively short time.

Our program
allows you to study on your own schedule.
However, please do not be in a HURRY because there should be a
reasonable interval between your degree levels.

As soon as we
receive your application and fee, the courses can be mailed to you (if you are a corresponding student) and
you can begin your study.  As soon
as you complete the course, write your assigned paper, and pay the proper fees,
you immediate receive your degree in record time.  Then you may attend a periodically
scheduled graduation ceremony.

SFCSM&TS
desires to make Biblical Education available to everyone desiring to know more
about God and His Word.  Therefore,
we offer plans of study that will keep cost at a minimal, without sacrificing
the quality of course material.

Audit
Only Students have the privilege to select any course in the random
sequence.  However, audits may only
be taken from the Associate and Bachelor courses.  Fees for the audit courses will be
applied on a per course basis.

Christian
Service Lab

A minimum of 40 hours for the Associate Degree, 80
hours for the Bachelor Degree and 120 hours for the Master Degree of Christian
service is required from each student upon completion of the course.
SFCSM&TS believes that it is vital for a student to be involved in a
ministry in order to continue to grow spiritually.  Giving out the Word, as the student
studies, will help solidify and make the acquired knowledge practical.  All degree seeking students are required
to participate in some type of Christian service while enrolled in
SFCSM&TS.  Christian service
should be the discipline of every bible college student.  Hours of Christian Service should be
logged on a form give by the school and signed by the person supervising the
work.  Grading will be based on the
recommendation made by the person supervising and evaluating the Christian
Service.

Accreditation

We are fully
accredited by the Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian Education
Institutions (WWAC) and the American Accrediting Association of Theological
Institution.  We wish to make it
perfectly clear that due to the principle of separation of Church and State,
Mark 12:17, James 4:4, II Corinthians 6:14, the WWAC has chosen not to seek
endorsement by either the EAES or COPA, but is a rapidly growing and respected
network of schools on the cutting edge of the Cause of Christ.

The accreditation
association is not required to be recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).  The laws of the State give us authority
to grant degrees rather than accrediting associations; therefore, accreditation
is voluntary rather than mandatory.
We are not required, nor do we desire to be approved by the secular
educational system.  Our purpose is
to train born again believers to serve the Lord in some phase of ministry such
as Pastor, Educator, Christian Counselor, Missionary, Evangelist, etc.

Over the years,
the word “accreditation” as used by those involved in higher
education has acquired various interpretations.  Basically it indicates that some outside
responsible body of educators have examined a school and found it to be
doctrinally, academically, and financially reliable and has certified that it
meets their ethical standards.  The
purpose is to simply assure the public that the school is a reputable
establishment.

What ordination
is to a minister, accreditation is to a school?  Therefore, most faculty and degree
students feel that accreditation is very important but it is not legally
required, it is a voluntary process.
For instance, Kenneth Hagin’s RHEMA BIBLE
TRAINING CENTER
is not accredited and offers no academic degrees, although it is a very costly
school (a good one).

On the other
hand, there are some that discount any Christian school and reject their whole
accrediting association unless it is link up with the U.S.A. Department of Heath,
Education, and Welfare.  They call
in question the Dictionary definition of “accreditation” launching
a campaign to impose their opinion upon the rest of the academic world.  But the implication of any word in any
language is determined by the common understanding and every day usage.  So to be “accredited” still
means that an impartial group of professional scholars has investigated an
institution and has approved of their standards of operation.

There is no such
thing as Federal or State accreditation of a Bible school.  A civil government has no authority to
regulate religious teachings or what certificates we issue for it.  This is an issue of separation of church
and state, as Jesus said, “Render
to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are
God’s” Mark 12:17.
Politicians and magistrates must never be allowed to officially endorsed
or disapprove directly or indirectly the beliefs and practices of churches or
their Bible schools.  A casual
survey of Church history shows that such linkage with “Caesar”
eventually leads to infringement upon conscience, bondage, and corruption.
