Mission
Educating people who are interested in Empowering themselves to do Ministry on a greater level and to serve their church and community with confidence and knowledge to mirror their Conviction.
PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
It is the purpose of Greater Love School of Ministry and Leadership Institute Inc to contribute to the development of our students in the areas of Christian character, academic skills, subject mastery, Biblical understanding, and practical wisdom. We believe that Christian character and practical wisdom are best achieved through a cooperative effort with the local church. Academic skills and subject mastery are accomplished through clear explanation and responsive repetition, such as that found in our workbooks. There is no beneficial understanding apart from a Biblical understanding (Eph. 4:17-24). Our entire curriculum is written from a Biblical viewpoint. We firmly believe that conclusions about life and reality must be based on the Word of God above all other experience and research. We believe study methods should be individualized (You study to show thyself approved...), and if at all possible, directed by the Pastor/Teacher (II Tim 2:15; 2). We believe the product of higher education should be a Christian servant, skilled in the Word of God, trained in an area of service, and able to effectively use his education to the glory of God.
