Celebrating 4. 0 years of Truth, Training and Transformation! The College of Biblical Studies–Houston (CBS), formerly Houston Bible Institute (HBI), began as a burden in the heart of the late Rev. Ernest L. Mays, the founder of HBI. He sensed that large segments of the local Christian community were functioning without trained leaders. This was especially true within the inner- city minority groups. Out of this concern, Houston Bible & Vocational Institute was incorporated in 1. Mr. William Thomas, Jr. Rev. Joe Wall assisted in the development of a multi- racial, interdenominational board, which began working to make the school a reality. Within a short time, a decision was made to focus on biblical and theological training because they felt that there were already adequate resources for vocational training in the area. In the fall of 1. Houston Bible Institute were offered. Rev. Rodney L. Cooper was the school’s first Executive Director. From its inception, the school used the facilities of KHCB- FM, a Houston- based Christian radio network, for its classrooms, and leased administrative space nearby. In 1. 98. 3, Rev. Rod Cooper resigned to pursue a Ph. D., and the Board promoted Rev. Jack Arrington, then Vice President, to President. President Arrington continued the difficult task of building the foundation and establishing credibility in the minority community. In 1. 99. 1, God called Rev. Arrington to the pastorate and Dr. William Boyd to fill his vacancy. Dr. Boyd began the process of building the superstructure on the vision of Mays and the foundation of Cooper and Arrington. He implemented a scholarship program that resulted in significant growth of the College. Under Dr. Boyd’s leadership, in 1. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board certified the school as a college and the name was changed from Houston Bible Institute to College of Biblical Studies–Houston. In 1. CBS achieved national accreditation through the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (now the Association for Biblical Higher Education). In July 2. God called Dr. Jay A. Quine to the presidency and Dr. Boyd became the Chancellor. Dr. Quine provided leadership for the creation of the 2. Strategic Plan that focuses on the addition of a traditional bachelor’s program, a Center for Continuing Studies, and pursuit of regional accreditation. In June 2. 01. 2, the College of Biblical Studies- Houston was granted Candidacy status for accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award Certificates and Associate and Baccalaureate degrees. In July 2. 01. 2, God called Dr. William Blocker to the presidency to provide leadership to the College in the pursuit of becoming the premier Bible college in Texas, and furthering its impact on families, churches and communities. CBS initially offered classes at the KHCB radio facilities located off the Southwest Freeway at Kirby. In 1. Hillcroft and the Southwest Freeway was purchased. The campus has continued to expand to meet the demands of a growing student body and today the 1. During its 3. 0 years of history, CBS has grown in its academic curriculum from offering a few credit and non- credit courses to today’s offerings of a Bible Certificate in English or Spanish language, an Associate of Biblical Studies degree in English and Spanish, and Bachelor of Science degree programs with majors in Biblical Studies, Biblical Counseling, Organizational Leadership and Christian Leadership. VISIONBy 2. 02. 0, the College of Biblical Studies- Houston will become the premier Bible college in Texas focused on transforming a diverse student body to serve Christ and impact families, churches and communities, to the glory of God. MISSION AND PURPOSEMission Introduction. The College was developed to provide college- level training in Bible and theology for those individuals who had little or no opportunity to receive such training by conventional means (resident, full- time). As a commuter college, this training is accomplished in a unique way through our key distinctives: Biblical – curriculum is based on a biblical world view, founded on scriptural truth, with its focus on ministry preparation and life transformation. Diverse – student’s study and experience the education process with fellow students from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Accessible – courses offered on campus are available during the day, evening and Saturdays, and through alternative schedules to provide students an opportunity to fit their studies into their life schedules. Online courses provide needed flexibility or the adult learner. Affordable – the cost of attendance is intentionally lower than other accredited private institutions and financial aid is available to assist students in meeting the financial requirements of their studies. Mission Statement. The College of Biblical Studies–Houston provides biblically based education for the Body of Christ, with primary focus on African- American and other ethnic minority groups, and equips its students with a biblical worldview for Christian service to the church and the world. Implementation of Mission. To fulfill its Mission, the College of Biblical Studies–Houston: Provides educational opportunities to prepare men and women for Christian vocation, leadership and ministry. Provides resources, services and an environment that encourages learning. Recruits students from the general Christian population with primary focus on African- American and other ethnic minority groups. Serves as a leadership development and resource center for churches and the Christian community- at- large. Serves as a Christian influence in the greater Houston area and beyond through educational, cultural and spiritual activities. Institutional Goals. Through the College’s curricular and co- curricular experiences, CBS students demonstrate: Biblical and theological knowledge, recognizing Scripture as the ultimate authority for life and godliness. Skills that reflect critical- thinking and problem solving ability. Attitudes and values indicative of an integrated biblical worldview. Sensitivity to various cultural viewpoints. Skills of effective communication. Skills for Christian ministry. STATEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENTCBS is committed to the truth that the Bible is central to the Christian life and that Christians are called to love and glorify God by living a holy life of testimony and service in the power of the Holy Spirit. The educational goal of CBS is “love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith” (I Tim. CBS combines programs in both theological and general education so that students can recognize and interact with biblical and non- biblical worldviews. Students are educated in disciplines that help them know and articulate Scripture, preparing them for personal ministry for the equipping of the saints for ministry in order to build up the local and universal body of Christ (Eph. From this basic philosophy flow two essential objectives; personal growth and communal ministry. In accord with the life, education and ministry goals of each student, CBS encourages students to continue growing in the grace, awe, and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in association with a local church. To accomplish this, CBS provides a variety of planned learning opportunities that culminate in a baccalaureate degree designed to assist students in demonstrating a godly lifestyle founded on Scriptural principles for Christian service to the church and the world. A student’s personal growth at CBS is contingent on developing Christian character along with academic competencies. Christian character is cultivated by biblical knowledge, proper interpretation of the Scriptures, prayer, repentance from sin, worship of God, application of biblical truth, and use of spiritual gifts through dependence on the Holy Spirit. Academic competencies encompass emotional, intellectual, and social disciplines that help students develop skills for problem solving, communicating, as well as building and sustaining interpersonal relationships. Communal ministry is the natural outflow of personal growth. The CBS educational program is designed to enable students to effectively serve the body of Christ and to instill a personal commitment for world evangelism and discipleship through the local church.
