We believe and teach that:
- All Scripture (both the Old and New Testaments), as originally written, is the inerrant, complete, and Inspired Word of God.
- There is one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- God created man in His image. Man, of his own accord, chose to transgress the will and command of God, thereby separating himself from God.
- The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He became man without ceasing to be God, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man.
- The Lord Jesus Christ died a substitutionary and complete sacrifice for the whole world and only those who believe in Him are saved.
- Salvation is obtained through faith in Christ alone. Not through any amount of good works or deeds.
- Baptism, by complete immersion, is a sign to the world of one’s belief, and is not done as a requirement for salvation.
- All of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are here today. They are used for witnessing and service to the Lord.
- We are to pray daily, study the Word often, and fellowship with the Church regularly. We are to love others, be humble, and obey God.
- The time is close at hand when Christ will come for the Church, the entire body of believers, both living and dead. This will happen before the time of the Tribulation.
- At judgment, the believers, the children of God, will receive their reward. Those who have not been saved will be cast out, into everlasting punishment.
OUR MISSION
The purpose of Grace Bible College & Theological Seminary (GBC&TS) is to biblically mentor, equip, and release those who are willing to accept the CHALLENGE of advancement and excellence in the Kingdom of God. GBC&TS is an institute without walls, proclaiming the world as our classroom. Dedicated to providing students with quality and affordable education programs to be effective in Christian service and challenged to reach the world for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is our goal to provide sound Biblical instruction for advancement and excellence in ministry. We are committed to TOUCHING NATIONS and EVANGELIZING THE WORLD by equipping and training men and women called into the Gospel ministry and Christian service to serve in EXCELLENCE in their area of ministry, such as Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, Missionary, Church Administration, Church Educator, Church Counselor, and Church Worker.
GBC&TS was created by and is a part of; Teresa R. Sutherlin Ministries, Inc. a nonprofit 501 (3c) religious organization operating under foreign corporate status in the state of Virginia and is authorized to grant religious/theological diplomas and degrees.
Our mission is to help train and educate those who are called into the service of our Lord in a variety of Christian fields and ministries.
Through GBC&TS, we can help to educate you, and even put to work what you already know. The knowledge gained over years of service and experience is used to help you fulfill the degree program you enter. All documented learning and experiences are assessed and compared to the requirements of the degree program selected. In some cases, this alone may satisfy the credit requirements of the selected degree program. However, depending on the degree level, you will still need to do a Senior Paper, a master’s Thesis, or a Doctoral Dissertation.
All of this may be completed in a much shorter time and at a fraction of the cost than it would at many of the larger colleges and universities. Our tuition is already low, making it affordable to nearly everyone. With some of our discounts, the tuition may go even lower. If we don’t have what you need or are looking for, please let us know. Perhaps, one of our other services or programs may be what you’re looking for. If not, perhaps we may be of service in helping you find the right institution.
