ABOUT IABC WEST TEXAS DISTRICT
The International Apostolic Bible College (IABC) is an instrument through which the Apostolic Assembly of the Faith in Christ Jesus prepares its leaders and new pastors throughout the United States of America and other countries. The IABC does everything that is in its capabilities to establish colleges in as many districts as possible to provide a better service to all our churches. Our district colleges exist to aid our pastors. Our goal is not to give basic or fundamental teaching, which corresponds to every pastor as his duty. Our goal is to provide tools that each church can use to equip its members to work alongside their pastors.
OUR MISSION
Our Bible College has focused its efforts on the mission of equipping the leaders of our beloved district, whether they are pastors, ministers, deacons, and/or faithful members of our congregations. The great commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 16:15 "And he said unto them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" demands of the church an adequate and profound preparation of the sacred scriptures. It is with this commission in mind that the West Texas District Bible College has taken on the task of preparing dynamic classes and materials that respond to the challenges that the church is facing in our days. In our courses, each student can grow in their theological knowledge and will discover new tools that will help them search in a broader way, the holy scriptures, so that they can fulfill in a more effective way the call that God has given them.
CORE COMMITMENT
1. We are committed to our Lord Jesus Christ and his teachings, which are found in the Gospel that he himself preached.
2. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and that it is divinely inspired.
3. We believe in the Oneness of God, and that outside of Him there are no other gods.
4. We believe that God should be loved with all heart, soul, mind, and strength, while pursuing excellence in spiritual, academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities, always doing everything for the glory of God.
5. We profess that the Bible is the law given by God to men and that no other law or rule is above what God has established.
6. We profess and practice baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
7. We teach our students to read, study, believe, and preach God's word.
8. We believe in holiness, and that without it, no one will see the Lord.
9. We empower students to read, understand, and trust the Bible, and to be firmly grounded in the truth that we find on it.
10. We teach students to think critically, speak and write clearly and effectively, use technology effectively, develop interpersonal skills, and pursue personal and professional ethics through biblical literacy and integration.
11. We provide opportunities for students to serve and promote a culture of lifelong commitment to servant-leadership.
