He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is the equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13 (NLT)
STC Bible College was founded for the purpose of teaching the sacred Scriptures to those who have a desire to learn and to share their knowledge with others. STC Bible College is responsible for properly teaching the written Word of God. God’s Word declares that people cannot believe in someone of whom they have not heard; people cannot hear unless someone proclaims the message; and those who proclaim the message must be sent. STC Bible College has the responsibility of training people and sending them out properly equipped to minister to those who are in need of the gospel. STC Bible College exists for the purpose of teaching and training people to become better ministers for Jesus Christ.
STC Bible College is dedicated to providing quality biblical education to its students. Our objective is to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry.” We believe that the commission to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” is a mandate that must be fulfilled by men and women who have been properly equipped with the necessary tools that will enable them to carry out this assignment. The intent of STC Bible College is not to place all of you into full time ministry; it is to place full time ministry into all of you. Not only will each of you be educated in biblical precepts and principles, but also experience the practical aspects of ministry.
STC Bible College exists for the purpose of instilling spiritual insights into receptive people by teaching the Word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of reproduction.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious suffering and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, not as a result of good works.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the Christian is able to live a godly life and to perform good works.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
