Dwight McDaniels Theological Seminary & Blackwell Institute of Biblical Leadership and Evangelism

To the Students of D.M.T.S. and B.I.B.L.E.: It is a pleasure to welcome you to one of St. Louis finest bible programs. What you are finding in this catalog has been put together with much prayer, labor, and thought. What we are offering through these programs is that which we feel every student will need in meeting the challenges that are before us in this 21st Century. As you know King David was a warrior, a psalmist, a worshipper, a ruler and a king. However, in my opinion one of the greatest accomplishments found in scripture regarding him is this that gives a cameo of Davids call: Acts 13:36For David, after he had served God's purpose in his own generation The challenge that is before us is to mimic the lifestyle of David, and that is to discover ways to serve the needs of our generation, and through it prepare the next generation to effectively serve. As this student body moves forward, you are encouraged to take full advantage of the cadre of teachers and professors. They represent some of the brightest minds in their respective fields and are making themselves available to you. As I always saystudy as if there is no Holy Spirit to assist you; and deliver as if you have never studied! In doing so, you will maximize your life and calling guaranteeing that God will be glorified. Humbly submitted, Dr. Luther J. Blackwell, Jr. President

Mission Statement The mission of the Dwight McDaniels Theological Seminary (D.M.T.S.) and Blackwell Institute of Biblical Leadership and Evangelism (B.I.B.L.E.) as a professional graduate-level school is to glorify God by equipping godly men and women as servant leaders for the proclamation of His Word and the building up of the body of Christ worldwide.

Vision Statement To provide excellence in biblical higher education for effectiveness in global Christian leadership.

What We Believe We Believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16) We Believe in one God but three manifestations: "The Father, The Word, and The Holy Ghost." For there are three that bear record in heaven, "the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. (1 John 5:7) We Believe in the deity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, His Immaculate (Virgin) Birth, His sinless life, His healings, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule over the nations. (1Timothy 3:16) We Believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation. (Titus 3:5) We Believe in the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. (Galatians 3:13) We Believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is given to believers who ask for it. (Acts 2:4) We Believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost by whose infilling, the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. (Acts 1:18) We Believe in the resurrection of both the saved and lost, one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation. (I Thessalonians 4:14)

Assessment Guidelines In order to receive an A, B, or C in the course work, students must complete and submit all assignments. Attendance and Participation 1. Attendance Policy: Consistent attendance is vital to classroom success. Lectures, discussions, simulations, and reporting are critical aspects of students success. When a student is absent, this type of work cannot be replicated or made up. It is the students responsibility to obtain all materials missed as a result of absence.

2. Tardy Policy: Tardiness is a disruption to the classroom setting and to students who are already present. Please do your very

10

Unauthorized acquisition or possession of examinations or other academic material belonging to a member of the school faculty or staff. Plagiarism is the act of taking anothers work and claiming that it is ones own. Adequate acknowledgment of anothers work is all that is required to avoid plagiarism. If there is any doubt about how to express acknowledgment, the student should consult with his/her instructor or refer to a writing style manual. Should academic dishonesty occur, the affected faculty member and the academic administration of D.M.T.S. and B.I.B.L.E. shall have the discretion to take appropriate action.
