Our Programs Are Crafted Toward Your Empowerment
How does accomplishing our mission influence our work ethic?
Effective 2020-2021, Living Word Bible College will be implementing the Empowerment Rule. To further express the mission and vision of our academic institution, the Executive Board has come to the agreement to establish the Empowerment Rule. This rule allows the college to truly fulfill its mission in empowering the believer as a whole.
We believe wholeheartedly that the empowerment process is not one-sided but double in that it takes two (just as relationship) to make it work and be effective. The Bible College and its staff and faculty undergo rigorous coaching and developments throughout the year to ensure that they are well-versed in making this journey an impactful one.
With that said, the Bible College promises to fulfill its part in the process now the only other participant would then be the student. We go the extra mile - and we’d expect for the student to do the same for themselves. It works if you work it.
The Empowerment Rule states: At Living Word Bible College, all students are initially placed on a pathway to success, they are guided open that pathway, and have mentorship and direction throughout the entire journey. Therefore our students ‘ and their success can be guaranteed - should the student be willing to do the same for his/her self.
While the retention of students for phases that are not successfully completed will be the last resort taken by the College’s Administration it is certainly reality that there will be some who do not fortunately Succeed - however that would solely be on the reason of the student not fulfilling his/her responsibilities.
This clause covers:
1. Students failing to meet successful passing requirements.
2. Students on the verge of receiving an INC.
3. Students on the verge of receiving a Failure to Attend.
4.Students on the verge of being discontinued from the college.
It should be understood that it will be the intention of the college as whole to ensure the success of any student that is enrolled within Living Word Bible College. The retention of a student or discontinuing of a student from enrollment at the college will be the last resort taken by an administrative representative or faculty member.
The Empowerment Rule
Basically, the rule implies that the failing or retention of a student should be a last resort – and we as representatives of the college are to realign the student’s academic career toward success. It will be the college’s best intention to assist and help the student in any way possible to prevent the retention and retaking of a phase. This is where Faculty and Administrators join together to ensure the proper success of all students It is a sad reality that some students will not succeed despite our efforts for them to succeed. This is totally acceptable and understandable, however this should be the case whereas a college we have tried everything in our power to switch the outcome. Then we can say as a college – that the retention was the student’s choice.
SECTION (A.1.CCC): FOUNDATION PREPARATORY SCHOOL
About the School
FPS offers one full academic year filled with fundamental courses strategically crafted to suit the developmental needs of new members / recent converts of the faith. Students can expect one year of foundational development in applicable Christian principles infused with discipleship training, spiritual guidance, and individualized mentoring. The goal is to become confident believers striving toward reaching the standard God has placed. Get ready- because this is going to be life changing!
School Enrollment / Program Registration
There are two schools which sponsor LWBC’s College Core Curricula and FPS serves as the first of the two. As a CCC - FPS‘s foundational development strategy is the first prerequisite within the College Academic Program Offerings. Students who are eligible to bypass this program will have their eligibility evaluated and the assessment will be detailed on the Student’s Academic Plan. There’s are no prerequisites currently mandated for FPS - the only obvious one is SUCCESSFUL ACCEPTANCE into Living Word Bible College.
Intended Student Audience
Foundation Preparatory School was originally crafted for the purpose of building up one’s faith and relationship with God by discovering themselves within their walk. As educators of the Word we are no stranger in understanding that the conversion season of one’s life is the most beautiful yet difficult season to go through. Especially due to the transition from darkness into marvelous light. FPS allows for the student to develop their faith and relationship with God to ensure that the foundation is stabilized to a manner in which a readiness to study more profound disciplines of theology is developed. It would not be wise to place a new believer in an advanced theology class - especially if they are still coming to grips with who God is. FPS prepares the new believer for the Institute of Theology.
Disclaimer
- While FPS is intended for New Believers it is essential to note that it is not only open to new believers.
- If you fall over the bracket attributed to new believers yet, your desire is to still enroll and begin your journey at FPS you are more than welcomed.
- Everyone’s empowerment journey is unique to how God designs them.

SECTION (A.2.CCC): The Institute of Theology
About the Program
Three year phased certification program that grants students certification in Theological Studies and develops the student to expand upon various advanced theological disciplines.
Prerequisites for the Enrollment Acceptance
ITT being a CCC program of the college functions as a prerequisite itself for Section B CPC programs which are considered our post-graduate programs upon graduating from FPS and ITT. The prerequisite for ITT would in theory be FPS - as in order to study theology ONE SHOULD have a firm understanding and foundation within their faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Intended Student Audience
ITT is crafted for seasoned believers which in accordance with our policy would be any Christian who has been in the faith for four or more years. New believers would be any Christian between 0-3 years and they would then need to begin with FPS. There are exemptions to this policy but only through the discretion of the Chief Academic Officer.
Disclaimer
There may be instances where a new believer may have already established a firm foundation and they can automatically advance into ITT but that will only be under the discretion of the Chief Academic Officer.
Program Length
Program is 3 Academic Terms / Years Approximately 30 months.
Enrollment Dates
The deadline for Regular Registration for ITT is September 30th.
The deadline for Late Registration for ITT is October 4th.
SECTION (A.3.CCC): FPS & ITT Online
About the Program
This sector comprises of LWBC’s entire online cohort considering the fact that Section A. CCC is the only sector of academic programs that all schools host an online cohort of students. The same prerequisites apply as if it were ITT and FPS in person.
Intended Student Audience
The Online Campus is intended for individuals who live far from our New Rochelle Campus or are located within another state. While it is most definitely the same information and level of commitment attached to empowering both cohorts - we typically recommend that if it is possible for you to attend in person classes you do. The reason behind is that Online Classes, though being interactive, may be harder to grasp and the assignments may be more difficult to accomplish. Whereas in person sessions, the student has the direct guidance and support of the teacher in a more kinesthetic approach.
Attached is the Program's Cost Sheet which details the total cost for attendance and enrollment within the program. Please note that a student may pay more depending on the consistency of on-time payments. For any questions or comments pertaining to your student account please contact Deacon Alexandra.

Fast Track
Beginning the fall of 2018, Living Word Bible College went under the sponsorship of Kingdom College. With this sponsorship, Living Bible College will become accredited through our Higher Education Program, as the newly founded seminary will accept a total of 72-credits from Living Word Bible Institute graduates. Kingdom College recognizes 72 credits from Living Word Bible College (equivalent of 24 college-credit
classes). Students will need another 54-credits (18 classes) that our Higher Education Program will provide in order to graduate (total of 126-credits) with a baccalaureate degree in Theology. There are requirements to ensure that the full 72 – credits are transferred. With that said a student must have no grade less than a C to receive credit for a perspective course.
Disclaimer
A graduate of Living Word Bible College’s certification program or a recognized Christian Bible Institute must show an official institute transcript and a certificate of completion to have their credits considered for transferring to TTS.
The administrative staff may ask to speak with the director for further confirmation for any graduate from an outside Bible School. It is imperative to understand that our courses offered at Living Word Bible College are recognized by Kingdom College as KC is our accreditation sponsor. In this case, credits cannot be transferred to outside schools or other higher education schools other than Theological Seminary and/or Kingdom College.
It is understood that not every student who receives certification through Living Word Bible College will continue on their studies on a seminarian level through TTS. For this reason we have a team of Administrators that are prepared to assist students.
