ABOUT US

THE BACKGROUND OF THE SCHOOL

Our Goals, Objectives, and Purposes

Our Goals:

• To inspire men and women to be diligent in accepting the Call of God and to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Men and women that have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour need to know Him. To KNOW HIM is profitable, and to receive His Word into their heart is Life! Therefore, we pursue the Scriptures as one dedicated to be "Throughly Furnished." We believe the Scriptures to be the literal Word of God given to us by holy men who were inspired by the Spirit of God - 2 Peter 1:10, 21; 2 Timothy 3:16

• We are interdenominational and evangelical in our approach to the understanding of God's Holy Word. It is our desire to maintain balance and to be a college and seminary of the "Full Gospel."

• To put the Word of God in the hearts of men and women that they might be an effective instrument of ministry to the local church, in the prisons and to the nations, ministering to the seniors, the widows, the fatherless children, clothing the poor, and communicating the life of Jesus Christ to all.

Objectives:

• To faithfully execute the Word of God with precision and to communicate the truth rightly divided. Whether our students are apostles, pastors, prophets, evangelists, counselors, Christian educators, missionaries or qualified lay-leaders, W.O.P.S endeavors to develop men and women of the Word who will unreservedly serve the Body of Christ.

• To preserve the local church is God's primary goal in this present age, and this college exists to serve the local church. Protestants of all denominations are welcome to participate in our Christian Educational Program. The object is to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, and to pursue His Word that we might be able servants of His Gospel. Staff representation comes from various denominational backgrounds as well as independent churches, but all are mindful of, and subject to, the power of the Holy Spirit and the example of Jesus Christ. Our quest is to develop the Christian Church and its ministries.

• To develop qualified leaders who possess a foundational knowledge of the scriptures and a Biblical view of a Christ-like lifestyle; leaders who are endowed with the Power of the Spirit.

• To emphasize Biblical studies complemented by the moving of the Holy Spirit and activated by "hands on experience" as developed through the student's Study, Christian life experience, practical ministry and practical service.

Purposes:

• W.O.P.S purposes to provide a program of study and an environment in which students may acquire a knowledge of God's Holy Word. W.O.P.S purposes to establish a pattern for a continuing pursuit of intellectual and spiritual development pertaining to the Holy Scriptures. W.O.P.S purposes to hold the King James Bible as the first and most effectively inspired writing of God's Holy Word. All other revisions are just that: man's word revising God's Word. We purpose to give you substantial evidence concerning this matter. It is a requirement that all homework be completed using the "King James Bible."

• Furthermore, under the direction of the Holy Spirit we purpose:

• To guide students in the path of a working knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. To instill a recognition of their authority over all areas of life.

• To stimulate within the students hearts a spirit of inquiry and discernment, cultivating their abilities to be an effective witness of Jesus Christ.

• To increase the students understanding and appreciation of the new covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ, while learning from our forefathers, the prophets, the psalmist and other experiences of the Old Testament.

• To disciple and instruct students in the "Unique Pathway" appropriate to their chosen fields of service.

• To disciple and encourage the Word of God in such a way that it will develop mature patterns of behavior acceptable for the ministry.

• To be of value to the community in which we live, providing qualified spiritual care to all citizens and serving the community as a Christian educational program dedicated to serve all people.

Statement of Faith

As a Christian constituency of Bible believers, we at World Outreach Pastors’ Seminary (W.O.P.S) subscribe to the following declaration of beliefs which are shared among us.

1. The Holy Scriptures: We believe the Bible is God's Holy Word. It was written by individuals divinely inspired, both the Old Testament and New Testament (2 Peter 1:21). We believe that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct, and that the Holy Scriptures present to us the complete Revelation of God's divine will for the salvation of humanity. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

2. The Godhead: Our God is a Trinity manifested in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. God being the Father, is the Creator of all. Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, accepting the robe of flesh, being the True God-True Man, conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross and all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood. He arose from the dead and is now at the right hand of Father God. He is our intercessor and Great High Priest, and He will return again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and justice. Jesus Christ, being the Son, is the Co-Creator with God. The Holy Ghost is a Divine person, Executor of the God-head on earth, the Comforter sent by Jesus Christ to indwell guide, illuminate and teach the believer. He is the Spirit of Truth.

3. Humanity - the Fall - Redemption: Man is a created being made in the likeness and image of God; but through Adam's transgression, rebellion and fall, sin came into the world (Romans 5:12, 3:23, 3:10). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil, and through Jesus' shed blood on Calvary, redeemed and restored man back to God (John 3:8). Salvation is a gift of God to man through our Lord Jesus Christ.

4. The Church: The true Church is the living spiritual body of Jesus Christ (Col. 1:18, Eph. 4:15), Christ being Head. The Church is made up of born-again believers, born of the Spirit and by the Word (1 Peter 1:23).

5. Ministry: We believe that God calls men and women by His Holy Spirit to serve as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, counselors, and teachers for the perfecting of the saints (Ephesians 4:11-12). We believe that the Father also called men and women to serve in the nations of the world, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that the laity of the Church has a responsibility to serve the area of deacons and elders and in the ministry of helps.

6. Concerning Sacraments... acts instituted by Jesus Christ:

a. Water Baptism: Immersion is a direct command of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19) for the born-again believer.

b. Spirit Baptism: We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire (Matt. 3:11). It is a gift of God, promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is given after salvation (John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, 2:4, 38-39, 10:44-48). This immersion/baptism in the Spirit is evidenced by speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. This is the physical sign of the inward fulfillment. We believe in the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:4-17).

c. The Lord's Supper: The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was instituted by Jesus Christ and is a memorial to His death and resurrection (1 Cor. 11:26-27). The Bread and the Fruit of the Vine become an expression of the Body and Blood of our Saviour when blessed, broken and given (Matt. 26:29, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:18). We believe that the Lord's Supper should be received often, kept sacred and that the children should be taught this worship at an early age. We also believe in the humility of foot washing, as set forth by our Lord Jesus Christ.

d. Intercession: We believe in prayer for the sick, prayer for deliverance, the laying on of hands, the anointing with Holy Oil and intercession of the Spirit (Mark 16:18, James 5:14-15, Romans 8:26).

e. Rapture-Revelation-Eternal Life: We believe the Word of God teaches us, "This same Jesus shall come in like manner..." (Acts 1:11). His coming is imminent (1 Thess. 4:16-17). We believe in the Thousand Year Reign of Revelation 20:6. We also believe that it is unwise to teach a fixed time for His return, but to exhort readiness at all times (Matt. 24:43). Eternal life is spent in heaven or hell. We believe that if one dies in an unregenerate condition, he is eternally lost (Heb. 9:27, Matt. 25:41-46).
