FAQ
-
Where are you located and is there a brick and mortar school that someone can attend?
Our headquarters is in the state of Florida, in the United States of America. We are an online Bible College with no physical location, but that makes us accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world.
-
Do you have the authority to grant degrees?
Yes. In fact, here is a quote from the State of Florida's Commission for Independent Education, giving that authorization. "At the regularly scheduled virtual meeting of the Commission for Independent Education held on January 26, 2023, your institution’s annual verification by sworn affidavit was presented to the Commission for review. The Commission accepted the affidavit as having complied with Section 1005.06(1)(f), Florida Statutes pursuant to religious institutions. This letter serves as notification that your institution has met the requirements of state law and is not subject to governmental oversight." Here is that statute: "Section 1005.06 (1) (f), F.S. reads: A religious college may operate without governmental oversight if the college annually verifies by sworn affidavit to the commission that: The name of the institution includes a religious modifier or the name of a religious patriarch, saint, person, or symbol of the church. The institution offers only educational programs that prepare students for religious vocations as ministers, professionals, or laypersons in the categories of ministry, counseling, theology, education, administration, music, fine arts, media communications, or social work. The titles of degrees issued by the institution cannot be confused with secular degree titles. For this purpose, each degree title must include a religious modifier that immediately precedes, or is included within, any of the following degrees: Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Education. The religious modifier must be placed on the title line of the degree, on the transcript, and whenever the title of the degree appears in official school documents or publications."

Is In His Hands International Bible College Accredited?
The definition of accreditation is, "the action or process of officially recognizing someone as having a particular status or being qualified to perform a particular activity". The short answer is yes, we are accredited by the American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions. The long answer is that accreditation is a tricky thing because there is no accreditation that is accepted at all institutions or within all regions, nations, or internationally, and many times, when a Christian institution of higher learning surrenders their institution to the oversight of bureaucracies and governments, at best, they may water down the truth of the Gospel, and at worst, they may succumb to the woke, anti-Biblical agenda that is sweeping across all nations and institutions, whether they are labeled Christian or not. For us, staying true to the Word of God; adhering to time-tested, pure, sound, theological training; and providing free or Iow-cost Biblical education to anyone, anywhere in the world, is at the heart of our mission and something we won't compromise on. In general terms, the main reason that people seek accreditation is to be able to get financial aid, which we have solved by not making our education expensive, or because people want an institution that is recognized by their particular government so that credits received would be transferable to other colleges and institutions of higher learning. The problem with a Christian college submitting itself to a secular agency under the power of any federal government, is that it then puts itself under the authority of that governing body to dictate what it can or cannot teach its students. You can even see now across our great nation (the USA), many wonderful Christian colleges who are forced to add programs to their curriculum that do not line up with the Word of God, but the culture, which is constantly shifting. That is a problem, indeed, and we will not conform to anything that does not line up with Scripture. We will be intentional in this and only become accredited with agencies who will give us Biblical oversight without compromise to God's Word and our ministry's mission. Our key goal is to train up believers in God's Word and empower them to be able to effectively minister and carry out the Great Commission of Christ, sharing the Gospel and being able to then train up others for the Kingdom, worldwide, without barriers of time, location, education, or financial status...and forcing no one into the slavery of debt.
-
Are any of these courses available for free?
Yes. All of the courses we offer are available free of charge. A Certificate of Completion will be immediately available upon the successful conclusion of each course.
-
If I already took the free courses, can I get a degree?
You will need to enroll in the degree course of your choosing. If you have already read the material and remember it, you may skip ahead to the quiz at the end of each course and the final exam at the end of each degree program. Upon successful completion of the final exam, your degree will be immediately available for you to print.
-
Why is your tuition so inexpensive?
This is a calling from God and a ministry, so we subsidize it to try to make it affordable to everyone and try to automate the system as much as possible to minimize the staff needed to keep it affordable.
-
Can anyone enroll?
Yes. We are undeniably and unashamedly a Christian Bible College and teach the Word of God to anyone who would like to learn God's Word, grow in their faith, and prepare for ministry. Anyone, anywhere, anytime can take any of our free courses. There is no prerequisite for our Associate Degree programs, so you do not even have to be a high school graduate to enroll. However, the Bachelor Degree program does have the prerequisite of being a minimum age of 18 and having an earned Associate Degree, but that can be from any institution, accredited or not, Christian or secular, from anywhere in the world. The Master Degree has the prerequisite of a Bachelor Degree and does require a personal testimony and Biblically-based statement of faith. The Doctorate Degree has the prerequisite of a Master Degree and requires a personal testimony and a Biblically-based statement of faith.
