LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Your Growth as a Leader Starts Right Now! 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!

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.

Developing World-Class Leaders 23 | Page Destiny College International Handbook (2015) CLASS MEETINGS AND PROCEDURES

All classes and teaching sessions are important to successful education. Scheduling of class times and format may vary to accommodate the student as well as the academic or church calendar. Only through faithful class attendance can the essential elements of a Bible college be fulfilled, i.e., information, impartation, and transformation. These are only achieved through participation and interaction.

STUDENT PRIVACY ACT

As part of the college administration, confidential information must be properly handled. The Student Privacy Act governs the access to and the release of student records.

Student records are those records, files, documents, and other materials that contain information directly related to the student and are maintained by a school or a person acting on behalf of the institution.

Interpretation of the Student Privacy Act is a difficult task. At times, DESTINY COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL may seem overly cautious in our interpretation; however, when we weigh being overly cautious against possible consequences, we feel the risk of being cautious is acceptable.

THE STUDENT PRIVACY ACT STATES:

STATEMENT OF FAITH

Destiny College International seeks to serve the Kingdom of God by offering educational opportunities to Christians of various denominational backgrounds. However, the college adheres to the following: ARTICLES OF FAITH:

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God.

All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV)

* We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. (1 John 5:4-6 KJV)

Developing World-Class Leaders 28 | Page Destiny College International Handbook (2015)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in his bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule.

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:16 KJV) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:21-24 KJV)

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. (1 Corinthians 14:3-4 KJV)

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:4-7 KJV) *

We believe that deliverance from sin, sickness, and poverty is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9 KJV)

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:4 KJV)

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24 KJV)

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick: (Matthew 8:16 KJV)
