Behind the Scenes

Here at Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute Inc., we’re committed to investing our expertise and resources in order to further achieve our cause. Since 2000, we’ve been supporting our community members in a variety of ways and measuring our success not by monetary size but by more qualitative measurements such as the scale and effectiveness of our efforts. Just imagine what we can achieve together!

A Distinct Identity
Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute Inc. knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Back in 2000, our nonprofit organization realized that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute Inc.

WHAT DOES FRESH ANOINTING CHRISTIAN BIBLE INSTITUTE DO?

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute Inc. offers both undergraduate and post-graduate programs, conferring all levels of degrees in most every religious field. We provide the highest quality Biblical studies to meet your educational needs. We serve lay Christian workers, and part-time/full-time licensed and Ordained Ministers. Our main scope is national, but we do accept foreign students.

RECEIVE CREDIT FOR YOUR LIFE/WORK EXPERIENCE

Over 2,000 colleges and universities in the U.S.A. customarily award academic credits and/or degrees based solely upon:

 

  • Transfer of credits from other schools
  • Documented life/work learning experiences
  • Passing proficiency examinations
  • Writing a thesis and/or Dissertation

 

------without any course work whatsoever!

These schools of higher education appropriately grant “advanced standing” upon satisfactory evaluation of a student’s previous study and life/work learning.

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute is happy to do the same in order that you may join many others across the nation in attaining your degree goals in record time and save a lot of money. This widespread practice is based upon the simple premise that a person should get credit for what they already know.

 

Learning doesn't take place just in a cubicle or only from courses. One can acquire great spiritual insights without ever setting foot on a college campus. In fact, most of what you know comes to you outside a formal classroom sitting. The whole world is your university, and everything you see, hear, or do can be an educational experience.

 

Jesus showed that all life is a seminary, and the Holy Spirit is our instructor. The best learned lessons are intertwined in our daily walk with the Lord. Granting credit for life work is founded upon the old proverb, “Experience is the best teacher". You can learn more about preaching by preaching than from sitting around with an outdated text on homiletics. The idea of on-the-job training used to be called apprenticeship.

 

Therefore, our approach to higher education is that if you have acquired Biblical knowledge and ministerial skills, you're entitled to receive credit for it. It’s not necessary to retrace foundational doctrinal teaching, which you already know. If you qualify for advanced status, you can skip one, two, or even three levels of our courses.

EVALUATION FOR CREDITS

From the required information, we will be able to determine your allowable credits towards a degree. Of course, everyone's past educational and ministerial history is different, and must be individually assessed to see what level of advanced standing you qualify for, but we will be fair and as generous as possible.

 

If your case warrants it, it will be just like you took our courses, and we can immediately confer an Associate or Bachelor degree upon you. Please indicate what study program you're interested in, and what your degree goals are, and in what field.

 

If you are pursuing a Master's and/or a Doctorate degree, Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute may recommend that you take our all our Courses.

If you already have a Bachelor's degree and have accumulated enough credits, Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute may be able to award you even a Master's degree. But it's extremely rare for anyone to receive a Doctorate's degree based on life/work experience alone.

We will promptly notify you of your level of advanced standing.

WHAT IS FRESH ANOINTING CHRISTIAN BIBLE INSTITUTE INC.?

FRESH ANOINTING CHRISTIAN BIBLE INSTITUTE INC. is an establishment of Christianity, existing to serve the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to encourage spiritual growth, the development of Christian character, and intellectual skills, that God's servants may become better soul winners and soldiers of the cross to impact society for God. We are committed to assisting active Christians, who desire to broaden their usefulness to the Lord, and to become more effective in their calling.

As a Christian Educational Institution, our mission is to

  • Enlighten and teach lay Christian workers,

And to

  • Provide continuing ministerial training for mature Pastors and Evangelists.

We are not a part of any denomination, but we are church oriented, because Dr. Alice Basnight founded the school, an inter-denominational, inter-racial local Ministry.

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute offers no liberal arts, majors nor minors or secular degrees. We specialize in Christianity and ministerial training. You would say we are a special school for special people.

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute is a non-traditional Bible College and Seminary, in that we are a non-residential school, offering only external programs.

We are not a cult, New Age, or metaphysical, nor do we endorse any kind of extremism or fanaticism. Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute is Bible-based in its perspective, principles, and philosophy. We stand firmly on the uncompromised Word of God.

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute is legal non-profit organization and, although we do not function for monetary gain, we do incur many expenses in our operation, which is why we must charge fees. We rely solely upon student fees and occasional love offerings from friends.

We have a very low advertising budget, which is why you may have never heard of us before. We are not the oldest or biggest school of our kind, but we are rapidly growing in courses, students, and reputation.

THE URGENCY OF PREPARING PREACHERS

Christianity is not a “religion”, but a relationship with Christ.
This is why our curriculum is Christ-centered. Our courses emphasize worship, prayer, faith, and the practice of love among the brethren.
We declare the full Gospel, and recognize all the fruit, and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Christ died for us, that we might live for him. Our philosophy is that we are saved to serve; and every saint is a servant. The highest fulfillment in the life of every child of God is found in self-sacrificing service for the Savior.

Jesus said He has chosen and ordained you. John 15:16. Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute Inc. recognizes that calling, we encourage you to prepare to meet the challenge of presenting the Message of the Cross to a world lost in the darkness of sin. We advocate entering at the dirty hands level of helping hurting people. What good is ministerial training that makes no practical contact with the masses of the real world?
Anyone laboring in the great harvest field today can see that we are living amidst a moral avalanche and judgment is already falling. Most of the world is headed for Hell! But when it’s the darkest, it will also be the brightest. Is.60: 1-3. It's time for exploits of faith and revival! We want to ignite and fan revival fires in local churches, and everywhere. There is a great need for compassionate, committed, courageous Christian leadership today---men and women, whose burning drive is to know Jesus and to make Him known.
We want our students to catch the vision of laboring in the final harvest field with pastoral care, evangelistic flare, and with academic excellence. As you develop your ability to proclaim the Gospel, you will make an impact on all those around you.
Jesus prayed for all God's true, children to be ONE. John.17: 21. And what we do, we must do quickly for “the King's business requires haste. I Sam. 21: 8. Soon “The night cometh when no man can work John. 9:4.
Our Great Commission is world evangelization. Our Great Hope is an everlasting Kingdom, so we will work, watch, and wait for the glorious appearing of the Son of God.
No man knows the day or hour of the second coming of Christ. Only God knows. But He commanded us to “occupy till I come.” Lk.19: 13.

THE PROBLEM

There are many church workers and ministers, who would like to obtain a Christian Education, but for several reasons are unable to attend a traditional Bible college or Theological Seminary.
Many pastors long to complete their ministerial training, but are hindered by important factors such as:

  • FAMILY Responsibilities---they cannot leave or uproot their families or interrupt their children’s schooling.
  • EMPLOYMENT Responsibilities---they can't quit their jobs because they need the income; and perhaps their spouse is also reluctant to give up their job positions in an uncertain economy.
  • MINISTERIAL Responsibilities---they may be presently following an active career for Christ or Pasturing a church already and cannot forsake the flock.

They live too far away and the high cost of relocating to some remote climate is simply out of the question. The college or university is probably too expensive anyway, and they could not afford the costly program.

THE SOLUTION

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute has recognized this great need and has dedicated itself to meeting it. We can help you bring your desires to pass and make your dream a reality.

The whole educational philosophy of Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute is to train students right where you are. Family, job, church, or money cannot hold you back any longer. You can continue to be useful and fruitful in your local church and obtain the religious degree of your choice at the same time.
Traditional education depends upon campus residence and requires classroom attendance. The campus is the center of learning, and the classroom is the primary source of information. In the academic world, the following terms are often used rather interchangeably:

  • Off-campus
  • Extension
  • External
  • Correspondence
  • Alternative
  • Non-residential
  • Home study
  •  Non-traditional

There are almost 100 major universities that now offer thousands of home study courses through the mail to people living all over the world. During the latter half of the 20th century there started a knowledge and information explosion brought about by the telephone, television, fax machines and especially the computer and Internet. Home businesses are mushrooming. These domestic enterprises are linked up by instantaneous electronic communications. As these technical and business trends have come about, higher education techniques have had to keep pace. Thus, academic learning has been shifting away from traditional residential schools toward alternate home study programs.

Correspondence schools like Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute are more in touch with these rapid social changes in the modern busy world. As a viable part of this new wave of the future, we recognize your home as a place of learning and/or your church office as a center of education.

TIME FACTOR

In the traditional institution, you are locked into the plodding pace of the group, but in-home study you can move along at an accelerated pace. The old-fashioned school starts and stops at their convenience, but with Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute you start and stop at your convenience and comfort.
You can study early, late, or whenever it best suits your schedule. So, it’s possible to complete your course work and earn your degree in a relatively short period of time. On the other hand, if you catch a bad case of the flu, have a death in the family, go on vacation, have a baby, or something comes up that would normally cause you to miss important lessons or a test it would be hard to make it up in a traditional school but with Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute home study courses, you can simply set things aside, and get back to them when you're ready

QUALITY

The quality of education must not be measured by the number of hours or years you sit at a desk chair.  Education by correspondence is in no way inferior to education by classroom. It’s just more convenient and a lot cheaper. In fact, it may be superior, depending upon the self-discipline and personal diligence of the student.

Studies have shown that students also retain more from written material requiring continual participation through questions, than from the one-sided lecture.

COST EFFICIENCY
As stated elsewhere, spending several years in a residential school to get a Doctorate degree could cost up to $50,000. But that much money put into a CD might earn you more money than having the degree would bring you, so it's just not worth it.

DIPLOMA MILLS
We know there are some unscrupulous entrepreneurs in every field of endeavor. There are also some degree mills--- bogus “schools" and fake “universities” that sell phony diplomas and degrees to anyone willing to pay their price. But their worthless certificates have no real value because they represent no qualifications, learning experience, study, work, academic merit, or achievement of any kind. Buying a meaningless degree could bring you embarrassment and shame when you least expect it. So, how can we know if a school is a diploma mill?

  • Paper mills are NOT usually registered by the State in which they are located, and so have no legal status to operate.
  • They are usually NOT accredited, or else they have set up their own accrediting association (sometimes at the very same address) and- have accredited themselves, which is self-approval.
  • Most of them don't have much of a catalog or any decent courses.
  • They ask no questions about a student's academic qualifications and couldn’t care less about their customer's Christian character.
  • They either require no study, or else extremely little work. There is usually no examination whatsoever.
  • All paper mills operate by mail, but not all schools that use the U.S. Postal Services are diploma mills. One dead giveaway is using a mail-forwarding service to conceal their actual location and shady practices.

By what other factors should an institution be evaluated? By their:

  • Creed, doctrines, and teachings
  • Honesty and integrity
  • Moral and Spiritual standards
  • Academic and professional practices
  • Financial ethics
