New Life Christian Fellowship Institute
Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
Welcome to New Life Christian Fellowship Institute
.
At
New Life Christian fellowship Institute we are able to issue Honorary
Degree Titles of a Religious nature. We are currently developing our
academic degree programs for both college level certificates and
degrees. As a Religious School all titles are honorary, yet carry the
same rights as an academic title in the usage of honorifics.
Currently our Institute issues both degrees for life’s experiences and study courses.
When you are an ordained minister through New Life Christian
Fellowship Institute you may receive the degrees befitting your
talents, or abilities in the fields of your choosing.
The purpose of New Life Christian Fellowship Institute is to help
develop the skills needed by members of the clergy in sharing their
faith in a concise manner. But, these same courses will help in coming
closer to advancement within their faith also.
No School or University that offers courses and studies of religious
philosophy can really claim to be more correct than any other School of
religion since they are established by man, and not by God.
What does this mean to you? A Doctorate Degree bestowed by Harvard University to a person within a specific field allows that person to be addressed as Doctor. A Doctorate Degree issued by New Life Christian fellowship Institute also allows its recipient to be addressed as Doctor. They hold the same rights of acknowledgment.
The difference between an earned degree, and an honorary degree is
fairly clear. In order to receive an earned degree a person has entered
into a degree program and a course of study. On the other hand an
honorary degree is granted for life’s experience within a specific
field. It is our belief that just because a person has not learned to
mime a professor’s teachings does not mean that someone may not receive
recognition for their life abilities. The Doctorate degree after all was
a title of the church long before the academic world chose to claim it
as the pinnacle of learning.
Understanding that an earned degree does in many instances help the student achieve a better understanding within their field of study. But, an honorary degree simply accepts that through life’s experiences this student of life is deserving of the same acknowledgment.
Our Programs are designed for those seeking professional recognition,
certification and licensing as ministerial practitioners and teachers.
The purpose of the school is to help its students unlock their minds, to
find the keys to success through the teaching of metaphysics and to
recognize the value of the human experience.
Accreditation
Accreditation of any college, school or university is strictly voluntary. At New Life Christian Fellowship Institute we are not presently accredited. Bible Study, and Theology, like religion, is recognized and protected under the first amendment of the United States Constitution, which guarantees any citizen the right to practice and to teach it to others. This is the essence of our type of degree. Thus accreditation is of minor importance.
Graduation Requirements
We offer a degrees for a combination of course work and credit for
prior learning.
Examples of life experiences which we accept as legitimate learning
activities are on-the-job learning, non-credit post secondary programs,
significant volunteerism in social work, executive leadership, and other
experiences that may equate to academic study programs, as well as
general knowledge gained through life experiences.
We request that all of our Doctoral candidates send along a brief one
page resume along with their application so that we can review their
past accomplishments.
We also require that all students complete a short course of study
relative to some of the degrees for which they are applying.
Most of our students are able to complete all studies within sixty days,
although they are allowed up to one year to finish any course work.
Transcripts are available for a additional $29.00
Degree Programs Offered
MILITARY SERVICE CREDIT
Military service personal from any allied national armed forces branch will receive a minimum of three hours credit hours, for honorable service.
LIFE/WORK/MINISTRY CREDIT
Credit for life, work and ministry will be evaluated. You may have years of part time or full time experience in Christian service that would have credit value. You will be asked to submit a short bibliography/resume for evaluation. These credits may be applied to each degree through the masters level. Life experience credit is not available at the doctorate level. Note: A maximum of 25% of your required credits can be obtained through Life Experience.
DOCTOR OF DIVINITY
(DD) (HONORY DEGREE)
The Honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree is as valid and valuable as any doctorate degree issued by any religious organization. The course study booklet provides a basic overview of the traditional functions of the church.
Included in the study booklet are instruction on weddings, baptisms, communions, funerals and even a few hints on ways to help you finance your new ministry. An ordained minister in the New Life Christian fellowship Institute is eligible to get this honorary degree for a minimum offering of $105.00 will get a Honorary Degree with original signature of Church Official with a raised gold seal, this price includes shipping and handling.
The following should be addressed in each paper: For each degree sought
- The title of the book.
- The author of the book.
- Write a ten to fifteen page paper. Summarize briefly what each chapter is about. This may require about one page per chapter and a couple of paragraphs.
- Study enables us to gain new information and insights. Write out five to ten new truths you have learned.
- How might this book benefit you in your life or ministry?
- Do your best in reading and presentation. Do this work for you and for God. This is for you and the ministry God has called you to in His kingdom. Check for spelling, typos and use good grammar.
This Certificate Program gives the newly ordained minister, newly
appointed Pastor, or just someone trying to refresh on the biblical
teachings of helping those in need.
Generally the Pastoral Counselor takes a person to the Bible to allow the Bible to answer questions about problems they may be having. Therefore, the Pastoral Counselor is not considered a professional counselor.
A professional counselor would have received their professional counseling degree in an academic institution that the state recognizes. Even though Pastoral Counseling is part of many churches and ministries you need to understand that you should not accept an offering for that part of your work.
Accepting an offering for this service would make it appear that you are trying to be a professional counselor and this may end you up in a whole heap of trouble with the authorities.
This program does not teach you to dispense advice but teaches you areas where the Bible shows people how to deal with their problems and it is not to be confused with Psychology or Psychiatry. We can not emphasize enough that you should not tell a person what to do about their problems but rather lead them to the Bible and show them where the Bible addresses their issues.
The Pastoral counselor certificate is meant to keep you within the religious confines of this responsibility.
