Philosophy
- We Believe that the Word of God is the foundation for all of our teaching and instruction.
- We Believe that every believer must be a “doer” of the word, not simply a hearer.
- We Believe that every believer is called to a unique Christian vocation that God alone has ordained.
- We Believe that one of the keys to success in ministry is preparation through practical training and directed study that is focused on the individual’s unique vocation in the body of Christ.
- We Believe that an academic degree or seminary education is not required of every believer to fulfill his/her purpose in the body of Christ.
CVTS Code
Christian Vocational Training School (CVTS) affirms certain essential basic principles and values. CVTS is also a community (made up of smaller families) and in that regard, upholds certain basic principles and standards of behavior that underlie its educational purpose. The Code will serve as a guide for the students, faculty, and administration.
LOVE will guide our interactions. EXCELLENCE will guide our work.
Based upon this Code, it is expected of everyone who participates in the teaching/learning/disciplining at CVTS that:
1. The guidance of the Holy Spirit will be honored.
2. Students will be challenged to engage both their hearts and minds.
3. Students’ personal information and that of faculty will be kept confidential.
4. The classroom environment will be safe for everyone.
5. The thoughts and opinions of others will be treated with respect.
6. Faculty members will be prepared for each class meeting.
7. Students will complete assigned reading and tasks.
8. Students will arrive on time and be prepared to participate.
The CVTS Code is designed to protect and promote principles and standards that are in keeping with our educational mission:
To provide biblical education and training that will facilitate the aspirations of Ephesians 4:1, which exhorts us to “…walk worthy of the vocation wherewith [we] are called” (KJV). We nurture the life of the heart and the pursuit of truth within our school environment through effective teaching, learning, practice, and development.
We encourage the continual development of the character of Jesus Christ in each believer’s life.
