POWERHOUSE COLLEGE ABOUT US Powerhouse College provides growing Christians with an opportunity for in-depth Biblebased study. We provide study programmes to assist students in their studies. The courses and study programmes offered are highly flexible and are geared towards meeting the needs of all Christians. The study material is Word-based, God-inspired and relevant to the 21st century Church. Our aim is to help our students deepen their relationship with the Lord and to make them firm and stable in the work of His Kingdom. We endeavour to provide an in-depth understanding of the Word of God and not to promote or emphasise the teachings of men. These courses are a tremendous resource of rich, practical knowledge and wisdom, based on God s Word, and is an effective aid to spiritual development and is suitable for all believers. Our goals are to help our students in the following ways: Develop a strong and deep relationship with the Lord and to make them firm and stable in their walk with the Lord as revealed by the Word through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Prepare them for ministry, leadership and servant-hood in the body of Christ and in the work of His Kingdom. Impart a correct and clear understanding of the Word of God. OUR PURPOSE It is the mission of Powerhouse College to raise up Spirit-anointed leaders who disciple nations. Our purpose is as follows: "To edify the body of Christ, to equip God's people for the work of the ministry, to unite in faith, to grow in quality, quantity, stability and integrity so the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love." (Ephesians 4:11 16). WHO SHOULD ENROL? The courses are practical and geared towards meeting the needs of Pastors, leaders as well as ordinary Christians who are not in a position to attend Bible School on a full-time basis. We also encourage those who are young in the Lord to enrol so spiritual development can take place in an effective manner. Powerhouse College Academic Catalog 2
CHURCH-BASED BIBLE COLLEGE Powerhouse College works closely with local pastors, Christian leaders and local churches. Our aim is not to take members out of a particular church, but rather to appoint the pastor as the principal of his own Bible College so he can mentor his own people from the study material provided. This method has been implemented successfully in many Bible Colleges throughout the world. Why church-based Bible Colleges are so effective: They are less expensive to operate than traditional bible colleges. By using existing facilities, church staff and other overhead costs are kept to a minimum. Because of the changing social and economic landscape, many people no longer have time to attend two to four years of full-time bible school. With this form of schooling, people can be mentored without leaving their local church, their job or home for extended periods of time. ACCREDITATION Powerhouse College use Team Impact Christian University programmes and courses accredited by Theological Accreditation International (TAI). TAI is a non -governmental accreditation, extended exclusively to private Christian institutions upon inspection and approval of their programmes, operations and integrity. TAI is one of the largest accreditation agencies world-wide and accredits Christian Universities, Theological Seminaries and Bible Schools in over 30 nations. The purpose of accreditation is to: Certify that an institution has met the established standards of excellence. Assist prospective students in identifying reputable institutions, which offer degree programmes that will meet their needs and goals. Allow institutions to evaluate the acceptability of transfer credits into their own curricula programmes. Powerhouse College Academic Catalog 3
FURTHER INFORMATION LIFE EXPERIENCE All degrees at the Powerhouse College are earned degrees. This is achieved by mandatory coursework that must be completed. Our courses are available to everyone who meets our entrance requirements. Our courses require comprehensive study and self-discipline as our Bible College is an online institution with no physical campus. Bible College transcripts do not always reflect real life experience. Powerhouse College recognises life experience which may have been gained through years of work which is ministry related. Life experience credits can give some of the recognition needed for this service in the work of the Lord. This acceptance of life credits helps a potential student to accelerate their learning experience by enabling them to earn a fully accredited degree. Applicants must have had more than five years in a recognised position in ministry. No degrees can be awarded based purely upon life-experience. Life experience credit cannot be given for an entire degree but is limited to a maximum of 30 credit hours. Life experience which could include such things as books authored, missions trips, classes taught, outreach ministries, ministries within a church, etc., must be documented along with the years they occurred and submitted for evaluation. MINIMUM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS There are no minimum qualification prerequisites for the Certificate in Ministry. Once they have completed the Certificate in Ministry successfully they will be accepted into the Diploma programme. The Diploma allows entrance into the Degree, and so on.
