Love and Faith Bible College

 

 

 

The formulation of Love and Faith Christian Fellowship Bible College, in affiliation with Teamwork Bible College, began in the summer of 2002. Its development was kindled by the vision of our Pastor, Michael Thomas. It is a 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 Love and Faith's 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 as we embarked on our journey. The first semester (fall 2002), everyone 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 pursuing their one-year certificate. On December 19, 2004, we had our first graduation ceremony for the “one-year” certificate program. Eighteen students received their certificates. The majority of the graduates were a part of our initial class, the “Eagles.”

We have seen spiritual and personal growth in our students. The Bible College is continuing to seek ways to better serve our congregation and community. 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 established Teamwork Bible College International. The Holy Spirit led Pastor Thomas and Dr. Chacha’s paths to meet on purpose for His purpose. Our goal is to continue to equip the children of God, develop spiritual leaders, and teach God’s Word.

Erika Hendrix became the next Dean of the Bible College from 2008 until 2011, prior to that she was an administrator.

In 2009-2010, the Bible College headed up a Project to Tanzania. This project included getting medical supplies, office supplies, clothing and other needs to the Medical Center in Tanzania. Thanks to the hard work of many volunteers like the Love and Faith ushers, the project was completed in January of 2010. A cargo container was filled and bound by ocean voyage to Tanzania.

In 2011, Wanda Heggie was named to succeed Erika Hendrix as the new dean.
