APPENDIX Christian schls are distinct frm public schls in a lt f areas. Hwever, there exists n mre significant distinctin than Biblical instructin. ILCS schls adhere t a basic belief that the Bible is the hinge upn which the dr f all knwledge must swing. Unfrtunately, a teacher cannt impart what he r she des nt pssess. It is the desire f this agency, as has been demnstrated and required thrugh the teacher certificatin prcess, that all teachers pssess prficient understanding f scripture and basic dctrine. T the end, ILCS has created several ways thugh which a teacher may gain this knwledge. These prgrams are significantly helpful fr teachers wh have been trained in secular universities where frmal instructin in Gd s Wrd is ften nt taught. T meet the Bible requirement teachers can pursue the fllwing: FORMAL COLLEGE COURSEWORK A teacher can enrll in any f the AG universities fr Bible curse credit. ILCS has frged partnerships with bth Sutheastern University (Lakeland, FL), and Suthwestern Assemblies f Gd University (Waxahachie, TX). Hwever, all f the fllwing are acceptable (mre infrmatin is available at http://clleges.ag.rg/students/verviews.cfm): American Indian Cllege Assemblies f Gd Thelgical Seminary* Berean Schl f the Bible Caribbean Thelgical Cllege Central Bible Cllege* Evangel University Glbal University* Latin American Bible Institute Califrnia Latin American Bible Institute Texas Native American Bible Cllege Nrth Central University Nrthwest University Sutheastern University* Suthwestern Assemblies f Gd University* Trinity Bible Cllege Valley Frge Christian Cllege* Vanguard University* Western Bible Cllege Zin Bible Cllege Other clleges and universities may be accepted, but please be sure that the schl is fully accredited and recgnized by the Cuncil fr Higher Educatin Accreditatin. 12

Thugh the exact frmat, schedule and registratin particulars are unique t each schl, all DSOM prgrams require a minimum f five hurs f classrm instructin and an exam per curse. Prir t class time students must read the textbk and answer related study questins. Curses require anywhere frm 15 t 25 hurs f individual preparatin and study. Hundreds f students have already fund DSOM t be the answer fr fitting Bible training int their existing life schedule. Cnsider the benefits: Cnvenience Affrdability Training by educated and experienced church leaders Perspectives and questins shared in a classrm filled with students wh have years f experience with churches and ministry in the same district Netwrking pprtunities with district leaders and fellw ministers Mtivatin t cmplete cursewrk in time fr scheduled dates Please visit the DSOM website, www.penflrida.rg/dsm, t find the clsest site t yu.
