MISSION
The Mission of Increasing Faith Bible College is to have an atmosphere of education where our Learners may obtain Biblical instruction. Our mission is to help Leaders to understand the Word of GOD because the Bible tells us that we should all “Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not be ashamed” according to II Timothy 2:15. The Word of GOD also tells us in II Timothy 2:24, “And Servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach.
VISION
Our vision is to advance the Kingdom of GOD through our in-depth and prayerful impartation of GOD’s Word. Through obedience to HIS guidance and the support of like-minded Servants of the Most High GOD, this vision is now coming to pass. We are a School of knowledge seeking Pastors, Leaders and Parishioners, whose desire is to launch out into the deep things of GOD, by having a thirst and hunger for righteousness and understanding.

ADMINISTRATION
CLASS ATTENDANCE
For the good of IFSCE Student body, a consistent attendance policy is required so that each one of our students in all majors will understand the expectations of faculty in all their courses. Regular and punctual attendance in all classes are expected. Reality is that at times, you may miss a few classes, in this instance, please email your instructor AND Dean of Academics, Dean Boston @ IFBC.DeanBoston@gmail.com, if there is an emergency permitting you from attending. Your commitment and participation in the course contribute to the learning experience of all participants. In the event that you are absent, it is your responsibility to listen to the replay of the class that will be sent you via email by the Dean of Academics and you will have one (1) week from your absence to write a summary of class missed and make up any homework assignment missed.
Credit students are expected to attend each class. In the event of necessary absences, make-up assignments must be arranged with the professor. Absences of more than two classes per term will result in automatic failure of the course. Two unexcused tardies counts as one absence.
APPROVED ABSENCES INCLUDE:
- Ministry work that has been scheduled for more than one (1) month in advance of class.
- If student is called away on active duty for Military.
- Elective absences include but are not limited to illness and bereavement for self or immediate family (includes spouse, children under 13, senior parents or hospitalization).
LATE POLICY INCLUDE: (3 tardies will result in one absence)
- Students who are more than 30 minutes late for class are considered absent.
- Students who are late for class 15 minutes or less are considered tardy but present for the class.
Credit students are expected to attend each class. In the event of necessary absences, make-up assignments must be arranged with the professor. Absences of more than two classes per term will result in automatic failure of the course. Two unexcused tardies counts as one absence.
EACH STUDENT WILL BE PERMITTED THREE (3) EXCUSED ABSENCES FOR EACH SEMESTER COURSE. PENALTIES FOR THESE ABSENCES PER SEMESTER WILL RESULT IN POINTS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOUR GRADE.
FOR THOSE THAT HAVE CLASS TWICE A WEEK:
Classes once per week – 50 points taken from your overall grade per semester.
Classes twice per week – 100 points taken from overall grade per semester.
MIXED EXAMS
Students absent without excuse on the dates of mid-term exams or finals will receive zero points on the test. Absences will be excused at the discretion of the professor. Make up exams must be completed within one week of the actual test and must be obtained in advance. The Academic Dean must approve any exception.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
The entire staff and students of Increasing Faith School of Christian Education promises to promote integrity to the fullest.
Violations of academic integrity include but are not limited to the following categories: cheating; plagiarism, fabrication; falsification or sabotage of research data; destruction or misuse of the school academic resources; alteration or falsification of academic records; and academic misconduct.

GRADE REPORTS
Grade reports are issued to each student at the end of each term as long as financial obligations have been met. It is expected that the work done will represent faithfulness and conscientious application on the part of every student. Although grades are not regarded as an end in themselves, they usually represent not only the student’s knowledge on the subject but also the student’s diligence in studying it.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
A student falls below a 2.0 GPA in two (2) successive quarters, will be on academic probation for the following semester. Failure to remove oneself from probation after the quarters will result in dismissal from the credit program. Should a dismissed student desire to apply for readmission, the student may apply to the Academic Dean for an evaluation of the cause for dismissal. If the student is deemed capable of 2.0 or above work, the student may be readmitted on academic probation.
