NEW LIFE BIBLE INSTITUTE
…so we too may live a new life.
Romans 6:4c
Offering an accredited Certificate of Ministry, Bachelor of Ministry and Master of Ministry with the teaching of The Exchanged Life at the heart of our instruction.
THE DISTINCTIVE
The New Life Bible Institute rests on the conviction that Christian leaders must be grounded in the whole gospel of Christ – not only His death on our behalf and resurrection but our union with Him such that we died and rose with Him (Rom 6:1-11) – for themselves to live the exchanged life as well as to enable others to do the same.
THE CONTEXT
In contrast to institution-based and church-housed training, the training of New Life Bible Institute is based entirely within the context of the ministry of Exchanged Life in its work of establishing churches and Christians within the Denver Metro in the whole gospel of Christ.
THE ASSESSMENT
Rather than utilizing testing and grades, assessment of students in New Life Bible Institute is based upon proven competencies in the form of written projects and mentor meetings. These are then documented in an online portfolio as evidence of one's progress. Work that is posted is assessed for acceptance by one’s mentor and an associate faculty member. The completed e-portfolio is in turn a tool for ministry leaders to evaluate one's potential fit for specific ministry responsibilities.
