I regularly meet people who are surprised to learn that leadership is an important part of success. It’s true. Whatever we do in life, our personal development depends on our growth as leaders. All human institutions need to have leaders. We know this is true whether that institution is a church, nation, business, school, television station, or a family. The world prizes leadership. Influence, riches, and power have been claimed by leaders who, by virtue of their vision for a better future, are able to attract the loyalty, respect, and service of others. Leaders in all walks of life are in constant demand. I recently heard someone described as a “born leader.” But I must disagree. There are too many examples in history of great leaders who developed into the role by force of their own vision and commitment. And we all have that ability. It’s quite possible you have not considered yourself a leader of any kind. Whether or not you have, you will be surprised to learn at Destiny College just hw many ways you are a leader, especially to those close to you. One of the reasons why there is a demand for leaders is that too many people, regrettably, would rather be led than assume leadership responsibility. When you are ready to accept the challenges of leadership, you will find many wonderful opportunities waiting to help you break away from the pack and to build on your achievements for future success. Keep in mind that your growth as a leader starts right now. You do not have to be the president of a billion dollar corporation, the president of a country, or the pastor of a megachurch to be a leader. Start with your family, friends, church, school, or workplace. You can start today by developing your leadership skills at Destiny College. We shape futures by educating people to develop the confidence, competence, and character you need to succeed as a leader. Empowering you to become a Leader of Destiny! Keith Johnson, PhD Developing World-Class Leaders 3 | Page Destiny College International Handbook (2015) OUR VISION To develop and educate World-Class Leaders with the CONFIDENCE, COMPETENCE, and CHARACTER needed to succeed in ministry, business, government, education, media, and the arts. OUR DIFFERENCE Destiny College International is a unique school because we focus on the development of a person’s leadership potential. BENEFITS OF A DESTINY COLLEGE DEGREE • Recognition by the largest Christian Accrediting Association in the world. • Earn a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate degree. • Class material is relevant and cutting edge. • Develop your leadership skills. • Receive Ministry Life credits. • Best price value in the industry. • Previously earned credits transfer from secular colleges, Bible schools, and other training programs. • Establish yourself as an expert. • Publish a book using your Doctorate dissertation. • Earning a Doctorate degree will open business, television, and radio opportunities. • Provides the credentials you need to apply at thriving churches. • Increase your future financial potential. • Ministry placement opportunities. • Some of our students have used our Master’s of Christian Leadership degrees to apply for management and executive level jobs at major corporations. Developing World-Class Leaders 4 | Page Destiny College International Handbook (2015) OUR ACCREDITATION Destiny College International is a member of the ACCREDITING COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL, the world’s largest non-governmental school accrediting association. ACI is the accrediting authority for thousands of students in hundreds of schools in 9 countries on 5 continents, and operates in 35 states within the USA (including Washington, DC). Specializing in seminaries and Bible colleges, ACI is an independent accrediting agency that exists to help the religious world obtain accreditation that is not government affiliated. All ACI member schools accept credits from other member schools, if the credits apply to their programs. OUR NEW ONLINE MODEL Destiny College International is working hard to birth a new model of leadership development and training by providing online courses and satellite campuses. Business leaders can offer leadership development courses from the home office. Churches are returning to a biblical model of developing and training their own leaders. Rather than “extract” leaders from their positions and send them away into a total academic context and community, students are left “intact” at the local level for their training. Thus, DESTINY COLLEGE ONLINE and Destiny College Satellite School allows you to develop and grow as a leader where you are already planted. ACADEMIC CAREER PATHS Our curriculum philosophy and direction was birthed out of the heart of Founder, Keith Johnson, PhD, to help leaders discover, pursue, and fulfil their DESTINY. Our curriculum serves as a systematic approach to empowering students to overcome the feeling of powerlessness that rob so many of their destiny—God’s desire for them. The curriculum is divided into seven degree programs, and students are rewarded a certificate or degree based on completing the total credit hours needed for each level of achievement. Undergraduate degrees do not have to be taken in a specified order.

  • We, the Undersigned, Are a Diverse Coalition of Religious Organizations
    May 8, 2020 Dear Members of Congress: We, the undersigned, are a diverse coalition of religious organizations, houses of worship, religious leaders, and a law firm dedicated to defending and restoring religious liberty in America. We are each concerned about a new threat to our nation’s faith communities: a swarm of lawsuits blaming houses of worship and religious ministries for any person who attended a religious gathering or received food or shelter from a charity or ministry and subsequently contracted COVID-19. Although these lawsuits should eventually prove meritless, the cost of defending against them would have devastating consequences. Many of the same religious organizations who rushed to provide aid and comfort to those affected by COVID-19 now find themselves struggling financially. And a wave of lawsuits would force many to cease their operations, whether due to the cost of litigation, or the mere specter of it. We have, and continue, to support prudent efforts to balance public health with the desire to “reopen America.” But in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a proliferation of complex and often contradictory orders and guidelines at the state, county, and local levels, each purporting to govern when and how to reopen. Unfortunately, no religious organization—or any organization—can follow every guideline or order that has been issued around the country. We are concerned that some people—and their lawyers—will cherry pick certain guidelines from around the nation in order to assign liability to religious organizations. They might claim that a religious organization or a house of worship was negligent because it did not follow a single recommendation buried deep within a set of guidelines.

  • Biography – Paul Wilbur ______
    Biography – Paul Wilbur ____________________________________________________________________________________ The world’s opera stages were the ambition of a determined young man named Paul Wilbur. A passion for the arts, music, and teaching took him from under graduate school in Cleveland, Ohio across the Atlantic to study in Milan, Italy. There he was instructed in vocal technique, Italian, and opera by some of Europe’s most skilled mentors. “By the time I had returned from Italy the direction of my life had been pretty well set in stone,” Paul says. “The life of Richard Tucker had become a pattern to success that I wished to emulate. Here was a Jewish man, who was one of the world’s most revered operatic icons, and who also honored his religious tradition by singing under the domed roofs of the world’s synagogues.” “I was pursuing a Master’s Degree in vocal music at Indiana University, and the things that normally attract a young man were also attractive to me: music, my friends, and girls. As I pursued relationships, inevitably two things happened: I asked girls out for a date…they invited me to church.” The writing was on the wall. “It was like I wore a t-shirt that said, ‘Please, somebody take me to church.’” Well, it was during one of those “church dates” that Paul encountered a young man from West Texas whose ministry and eventually, friendship would change his life forever. “I was completely taken by Jerry’s love and passion for God. From the very first time I saw him ‘perform’ I understood that he was not singing about God, rather he was singing to Him.
