In His Hands International Bible College

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. All general inquiries should be directed to: [email protected]. All questions regarding degree requirements and submissions, transcripts, and requests for scholarships should be directed to: [email protected]. Inquiries will be responded to as quickly as possible, but with as many students as we have worldwide, please expect a reply within 5-10 business days.

Yes. In fact, here is a quote from the State of Florida's Commission for Independent Education, giving that authorization. "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."

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.

Yes. All of the courses we offer are available free of charge. If you want to receive a certificate, you will need to enroll in the certificate version of that course, although not all courses are available with certificates. If the course you want to take is available as a certificate course, a Certificate of Completion will be immediately available upon the successful conclusion of each course. Please make sure to sign in to your account according to your legal ID and exactly how you want the certificate to print your name.

You will need to enroll in the degree course of your choosing and pay the tuition for the course. If you have already read the material and remember it, you may skip ahead to the quiz at the end of each course and take the final exam at the end of each degree program. (However, you will need to alert us as to why you are skipping because your transcripts will reflect if you did not spend sufficient time on each course.) When you complete your degree program, you will need to make sure your tuition is paid in full (we can bill you any balance due) and make sure that you have followed all the instructions and provided all of the necessary documentation necessary to: [email protected]. Please give 5-10 business days for us to review all of your credentials and make sure that all necessary procedures were followed. If all is acceptable, you will receive an email with your degree. If not, we will contact you regarding any errors or omissions that need to be handled.

This is a calling from God and a ministry, so we subsidize it ourselves 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. However, the size of the school has snowballed and the need for staff has increased, so we really need your support and donations to be able to continue providing scholarships for those in need and low-cost degree programs for everyone. If you are able to give back or pay it forward for someone else, that would help us tremendously!

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 and certificated courses. There is no prerequisite for our Associate Degree programs, so you do not even have to be a high school graduate to enroll, and you do not need to be a US citizen. However, the Bachelor's Degree program does have the prerequisite of being a minimum age of 18 and having an earned Associate's Degree, but that can be from any institution, accredited or not, Christian or secular, from anywhere in the world. The Master's Degree has the prerequisite of a Bachelor's 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. The hope is that by the time anyone completes any of our programs with a true heart to study God's Word, that God Himself would do far more in their heart than any human or institution could ever do, and that they would not only become a devoted follower of Jesus, but a child of God, forgiven, on fire for Him, with a passion for the lost and the manifestation of His Kingdom on earth. This is nothing that can be mandated by a person or institution, this is a holy act of a holy God on the heart of unholy man, by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that person's submission to that power and presence in his or her life.
