What kind of spiritual lifestyle expectations does RHEMA Bible Training Center have for its student body?
The establishment of worthy standards of living is necessary for every believer. Thus, Christian character is a vital concern of RHEMA Bible Training Center. We believe it is the responsibility of all students to live an exemplary life and to assist others in establishing these standards. A campus community that is meaningfully Christian cannot neglect this dimension of life.
Thus, the training center emphasizes the following values:
Recognition of the authority of the Word of God, specifically, the biblical teaching about moral standards.
Desire to develop personally in terms of Christian virtues and the fruit of the Spirit... love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance . . . (Gal. 5:22–23).
Interest in developing habits of Bible study, prayer, and regular church attendance.
Concern to serve the Lord and fellow man.
RHEMA Bible Training Center is committed to helping students develop and grow in all aspects of their lives to include balancing school, work and family. Learn more about a day-in-the-life of a RHEMA student.
