GENERAL INFORMATION
A renewed venture with God
Delaware Bible College has developed out of a 14 year vision Pastor Jeff Wisot
has had to offer training to people in a Bible College education. Its purpose is to help
individuals who feel called of God to prepare them for greater personal ministry in
Christian leadership. It will exist to serve other churches in the community and the world
who seek higher biblical education and training for pastoral and missionary service. It is
part of the greater creative aspects of Life Community Church.
The first classes will meet on September 7, 2010. The courses offered this
semester will be:
Hermeneutics – The principles of biblical interpretation.
Servant Leadership – Foundational teaching on proper leadership.
Old Testament Survey – A survey course of the Old Testament.
Apologetics (Worldviews and Origins) – Study of foundational motivational thinking.
PURPOSE
Delaware Bible College believes that the Bible should be at the heart and core of
all training and is the standard for evaluating all claims to knowledge. The Bible, as the
inspired Word of God, is instrumental in thoroughly equipping God’s servants for
ministry. This philosophy is reflected in the wide range of Bible and theology courses
DBC plans to offer. DBC believes that the Bible is the only framework within which a
consistent, effective, and productive worldview, lifestyle, and life of service to God and
humanity can be maintained.
VISION CASTING
The vision of DBC is to strengthen the body of Christ with effective leaders
within Life Community Church and the community of churches surrounding it. This
would require a commitment of those who see this as a need for our church and
community. That commitment would be translated in the response of volunteers who
would share in a vision to be a part of helping realize spiritual growth and knowledge in
the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word. After the captivity of Israel and when the Word of
God was read to them by Ezra the people had deep respect and hunger to please God.
What is happening today?
The church has always had times of great apostasy and backsliding. It is nothing
new for this to happen.
EQUIPPING MEN AND WOMEN FOR CHRISTIAN MINISTRY THROUGH BIBLICAL EDUCATION!

People tend to become easily distracted from commitment to God because of the
temptation of sin. Sin dulls the heart and mind to God. When you read the book of
Judges for example, there seems to be a cycle of apostasy. The heart becomes cold
because there is not the fervency to know God. God is a perfect gentleman. He will not
force anyone to love Him, obey Him or serve Him. Therefore it is up to men to seek
Him. If they do, He will be found.
Delaware Bible College is a level of commitment that requires a determination to
seek God with all your heart, soul, and mind. There is nothing more rewarding than to
study the Word of God in depth so that you may be able to answer the mockers and
scoffers of this world.

OBJECTIVES
1.) Uncompromising commitment to the mandates, principles and prohibitions of the
Holy Scriptures.
2.) Unambiguous adherence to historic evangelical orthodoxy.
3.) Encouragement of academic freedom and critical thought.
4.) Student-focused Christian leadership committed to both the Great Commission and
the Great Commandment.
5.) Purposeful Christian love and charity in the community and the world.
6.) Commitment to a spiritually consistent vibrant life that is reflected in the church and
the community.
7.) Spiritual, ethical, moral and professional practices in every area of Delaware Bible
College.
PHILOSOPHY
Delaware Bible College affirms the Bible to be the inerrant and infallible Word of
God. All its teaching is based on a biblical worldview of truth. Teaching from a
theological foundation based on its doctrinal statement will equip students to carry out
the Great Commission and the Great Commandment to the world.
The college wishes to develop a Christian ethic in its teaching so as to impart to
the student an exemplary godly Christian standard of excellence in every area of life.
The faculty members are committed to modeling Christian character towards the students
as essentially a part of the educational process. The personal life of the teachers must
reflect a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ so that the student is not just receiving
knowledge but life imparted from the teacher.
All truth has God as its source and therefore all truth is relational to God’s Holy
Scriptures. Truth would be not contrary to God’s revelation of truth. All research and
study in all aspects of the disciplines are possible because God has placed a logical
structure of created order within humanity. The absolute nature of truth is consistent with
the knowledge of God. Because man has been created in the image of God, man has the
capacity to relate to God by faith and with the ability to think logically in academic
pursuits.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
1. The Authority of the Bible
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament have been given by the inspiration of God,
the Holy Spirit, and therefore serve as the authoritative guide for Christian understanding,
life and ministry. Psalm 19:7, Proverbs 30:5, Matthew 4:4 and II Timothy 3:16
2. God is Trinity
There is but one true God, the supreme, sovereign Being of the Universe and is revealed
in Scripture as One divine Being existing in three persons; God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:26, 27, Isaiah 48:16, Matthew 3: 16, 17, Matthew
28:19, I Corinthians 12: 4-6, II Corinthians 13:14, I John 5:7.
3. The Deity and Perfect Humanity of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the preexistent son of God and is fully God and fully man; (The hypostatic
union) the only Savior for the sins of the world. He was the Word made flesh;
supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the Virgin Mary; and was perfect in
nature, teaching, and obedience. Matthew 6:16, Matthew 22:42-45, Luke 1:35, Luke
1:47, John 1:1, 14, John 10:30, John 14:6, 7, Hebrews 7:26.
4. The Deity of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is ascribed with the attributes of God, is equated with God and does the
work that only God does. John 14:26, John 15:26, Acts 5:3-5, Romans 5:5.
5. Human State of Depravity
Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Man willfully disobeyed God
incurring spiritual and physical death. Each human is a sinner by nature and is in need of
divine salvation. Genesis 1:26, 27, Genesis 2:17, Psalm 58:3, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Isaiah
64:6, Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, Ephesians 2:1
6. Atonement by the Substitutionary Death and Resurrection of Jesus
Christ
Christ’s substitutionary death on the cross by the shedding of His blood in His vicarious
sacrifice for sin shows mercy to sinners and supplies Christians with the life of God. His
resurrection from the dead was witnessed by over 500 people before His ascended into
heaven where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father. Matthew 26:28, John
1:29, Acts 20:28, Romans 3:25, 26, Romans 5:9, I Corinthians 15: 1-8, Hebrews 9:22, I
Peter 1:19, Revelation 13:8
EQUIPPING MEN AND WOMEN FOR CHRISTIAN MINISTRY THROUGH BIBLICAL EDUCATION!

7. Salvation by Grace through Faith
Atonement by the literal blood and death of Jesus Christ provided an opportunity for all
men to be saved by believing the Gospel. Salvation has been provided freely to all who
believe as a result of who God is, and what Christ has done – not who we are or what we
have done. Genesis 15:6, John 3:14-18, Acts 4:12, Acts 8:37, Acts 16:30, 31, Romans
10:13, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8, 9.
8. Christ is Building His Church
The church which is the Body and future Bride of Christ is dedicated to the worship and
service of God, as well as the ordinance of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Acts 11:26,
Romans 12:4-5, I Corinthians 12:27.
9. The Existence of Satan, Elect and Fallen Angels
Lucifer created perfect in wisdom and beauty as a cherubim rebelled and exalted himself
above God, and therefore was judged by God, and drew 1/3 of the angels with him and
who are now demons. Psalm 148:2, 5, Ezekiel 14:12-17, Isaiah 14:12-14, Matthew 6:18
Mark 8:38, Luke 10:18, I Corinthians 4:9, II Corinthians 2:11, Ephesians 1:22, 23,
Ephesians 3:10, Ephesians 5:23b, I Peter 1:12
10. The Resurrection/Eternal Rewards of the Just and Eternal
Punishment of the Unjust
Christ will return to rapture the church. The timing is uncertain. There will be a period of
time called the Great Tribulation, Matt 24:21, which is different from the general
tribulation all men endure. Following the Great Tribulation, Christ will come again to the
earth and establish his kingdom for 1000 years. The Great White Throne Judgment of the
unsaved, coupled with Satan being cast into the lake of fire, will allow Christ to establish
a New Heaven and a New Earth. John 5:24, Romans 11:32, Romans 14:10, I Corinthians
15:51, I Thessalonians 4:16, 17, I Thessalonians 5:9, Ephesians 2:1-6, Revelation 20:4-
5, Revelation 20: 2-7, Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 21: 1-3.

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Delaware Bible College recognizes the loss of moral absolutes in the present society.
As a biblical Christian institution, DBC adheres to the belief that the Bible defines that
not only do we see the Bible as the revelation of God’s truth but also the determining
factor in one’s lifestyle. Though the world changes, the Word of God does not. DBC
seeks to teach the principles of Holy Scripture and also the resulting discipline
exemplified in a lifestyle that glorifies God with personal holiness.
It is the purpose of DBC to help students in personal spiritual growth in preparation
for Christian service. We wish to carry on the conservative, evangelical, fundamental
and traditional position concerning spiritual values and conduct among all those who are
participants of DBC.
DBC asks each student for a personal commitment in their educational journey to the
Lordship of Jesus Christ and separation from sin. Not to do so reflects on the integrity of
DBC. Personal holiness includes Scriptural prohibition of certain behaviors and attitudes
and the manifestation of positive characteristics as described in (Galatians 5:16-26).
Since certain negative forms of activities are questionable, students are asked to avoid
them for their own testimony and the school’s.
DBC would encourage the student to make a commitment and pledge that he or she
would follow the following lifestyle commitments:
1.) Strive for excellence as a student and in all that I do.
2.) Submit to the authority of the scriptures in matters of faith and conduct under the
control of the Holy Spirit.
3.) Cooperate respectfully with those in authority at the College.
4.) Participate actively in promoting the cause of Christ, including endeavoring to win
others to faith in Him.
5.) Refrain from behavior that will reflect discredit upon the Lord and offend another
person.
6.) Avoid the acts of the flesh: As described in (Galatians 5:19-21). The term translated
“witchcraft” (Gal. 5:20) is pharmakeia, from which we get the words “pharmacy” and
pharmaceutical.” Therefore, the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of drugs and
alcohol (on or off the DBC property) is strictly forbidden. This prohibition applies to all
students and employees of DBC. Further, such possession, use, or distribution will result
in disciplinary action take by DBC and may result in local, state, and federal legal
sanctions.
7.) Maintain a personal appearance and dress which will honor Christ.
FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THESE STANDARDS CAN LEAD TO DISMISSAL
FROM DBC AT THE ADMINISTRATION’S DISCRETION.

70-77 D
Below 70 F
GRADES, GRADE POINTS, & GRADE POINT AVERAGE
1. In order for a student to receive credit for a course, the student's name must appear on
the official class roster. Instructors verify their class rosters during the first week of a
semester. A student who remains on an official class roster must be given a grade even if
he or she never attended. A student cannot receive a grade even if the work was
completed successfully if he or she is not properly registered.
2. All work is graded by letters which are interpreted as follows:
GRADE DESCRIPTION GRADE POINT
A Excellent 4
B Good 3
C Average 2
D Poor 1
F Failure 0
R Repeat -
S Satisfactory -
*U Unsatisfactory -
N Audit -
I Incomplete -
MI Medical Incomplete -
WD Withdrawal Drop -
WP Withdrew Passing -
WF Withdrew Failing 0
W Withdrew -
WC Withdrawal due to Cancel course
R--This indicates the course was repeated.
* U--This indicates additional work must be done to receive a passing grade. A "U" will
become an "F" in 60 days if the work is not satisfactorily completed in that time period.
N--This grade is assigned only to those who audit a class. No arrangements may be made
at a later date to change the grade to one allowing course credit.
I--This grade may be assigned only if the student has been unable to complete the course
because of unavoidable circumstances. The reason for an "Incomplete" must be approved
by the professor of the course and shall be noted on all grade reports. A course in which
the student received a grade of "I" must be completed within 30 days after the end of a
semester unless special permission is granted by the instructor and the Dean. Failure to
complete the work within those time limits will result in a grade of "F." Merely failing to
EQUIPPING MEN AND WOMEN FOR CHRISTIAN MINISTRY THROUGH BIBLICAL EDUCATION!
12
complete the work on time is not a legitimate justification for the use of "I." If the grade
of "I" has not been officially changed within 30 days, the grade will automatically be
changed to "F."
MI--This grade is an "Incomplete" assigned due to medical concerns. The same
considerations given above for an "I" apply to the "MI" except that the 30 day time limit
might be extended based upon recovery time required for the illness,
accident, etc.
WD--During the first week of a class, a student may drop a course without academic
penalty. These courses will show a grade of "WD" on the institution's internal database
but will not be printed on outgoing transcripts. These courses
will not be calculated on the cumulative grade point average.
WP--This indicates that the student is withdrawing as passing. This grade has no bearing
on the student's GPA.
WF--This indicates that the student is withdrawing as failing. The grade of "WF" will be
calculated as part of the student's GPA.
W--This indicates that the student has officially withdrawn from the institution. A "W" is
not calculated as part of the student's GPA.
GRADE POINT AND GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The Numerical Equivalent from the Letter Grade is multiplied times the credit value for
each class, resulting in the Credit Points achieved for the class. The Available Credit
Points for each class is calculated by multiplying the credit value for each class time the
maximum Numerical Value of 4.0. The grade point average is determined by dividing
accumulated Credit Points by the number total Available Credit Points attempted. All
courses in which a student is enrolled on a credit basis are included in the grade point
average of the student.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular and punctual attendance is required for all students at Delaware Bible College.
Students are responsible for requesting and completing any class work missed. Students
are advised to confirm the attendance policy of each instructor.
CLASS ROSTER
Students name must be on the official Class Register for a course. If a student’s name is
not listed the student must contact the DBC offices immediately so that it can be
corrected.

LD 517 Servant Leadership Pastor Jeff Wisot and Pastor Dan Lewis. {Monday
6:30pm – 9:30pm}.
Students will study how to lead with God’s viewpoint. One of the primary emphases of
DBC is to train and equip God’s people for successful Christian service. The impact of
leadership can be measured in every facet of life from the home to your business as well
as ministry. Jesus emphasis was always servant leadership. This course will delve into
specific topics in the development of a leader including the patterns, processes and
EQUIPPING MEN AND WOMEN FOR CHRISTIAN MINISTRY THROUGH BIBLICAL EDUCATION!
15
principles that can be seen in all successful leaders. This course will help you lead from
God’s viewpoint.
OT 101 Old Testament Survey Pastor Dan Lewis, Pastor George Nichols, Pastor
Wayne Hale and others. {Tuesday 6:30pm – 9:30pm}.
Students will study the timeless issues of what God thinks and has established about how
man should live. This course helps define the differences in dispensations and covenants
that God established and what applies to us today. This will help delineate the confusion
often presented about the relationship between God dealing with Israel and the church.
PH 431 Apologetics (Worldviews and Origins) Pastor David Jones, Pastor Dan
Lewis and others. {Thursday 6:30pm – 9:30pm}. Running concurrently.

ultimate reality of God and equip him or her to be able to answer others about the reason
for our existence.
TH 441 Hermeneutics Pastor Dan Lewis and guest professors.
Students will study the proper principles of biblical interpretation. Why are there so
many different interpretations of biblical passages? Is there a right way and a wrong way
of interpreting what God intends for people to understand about Himself and His desire
for mankind? This is a primer of great importance in an ever changing potpourri of sects
and religious movements caused by theological, philosophical and intellectual changes.
{All courses are scheduled for evening time slots presently. Future day classes are
