In the summer of 2002 the formulation of Love and faith Christian Fellowship
Bible College, in affiliation with Teamwork Bible College, began. Its development
was kindled by the vision of our Pastor, Michael Thomas. It is direct reflection
of Love and Faith’s vision statement; “To equip the children of God to know His
voice, identify and perfect their spiritual gifts, and to utilize those gifts
to develop others to further the kingdom of God locally, nationally
and internationally” and mission statement; “To effectively develop spiritual
leaders by exemplifying the love and faith of God through teaching His word
and Christian fellowship.”
Elder Phillip and Carrie Price were given the task,
as Dean and Administrator, respectively, of structuring
the college staff and administration. Offices were
filled, facilitators chosen, and we embarked on our journey.
The first semester (fall 2002) every one took Spiritual
Fundamentals. We were excited about the college and the study
material. The first group of students adopted the name “Eagles.”
We had about seventy-five students and facilitators. Each
semester thereafter we added classes so as to accommodate those who were pursing their one-year
certificate. On December 19, 2004 we had our first graduation ceremony for the “one-year”
certificate program, where eighteen students received their certificates. The majority of
the graduates were apart of our initial class, the “Eagles.”
We have seen spiritual and numerical growth in our
students. The Bible College is continuing to seek ways
to better serve our congregation and community. The
bible tells us we’ll perish or be destroyed for the lack
of knowledge. We believe the Bible College is a very
important weapon in the fight against ignorance and an
aid to effective Christian living. God inspired Dr. Chacha
to establish Teamwork Bible College International. The Holy
Spirit led Pastor Thomas and Dr. Chacha’s path’s to meet on
purpose for purpose. Our goal is to continue to equip the
children of God, develop spiritual leaders, and teach God’s
word.
