It is Florida East Coast
Bible College's desire to see God’s people trained in God’s Word to do
the work of the ministry and preach the Gospel of Christ. We are
committed to training Christians to be effective servants in their
communities and local churches.
If you love God’s Word and
have a desire to receive formal training for Christian ministry, then we
invite you to consider becoming a part of our growing ministry. We are
excited to share with you this opportunity to grow in the knowledge of
our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His precious Word.
In His service,

Florida East Coast Bible College is located at:
Community Bible Church

What We Believe-
-
We believe that the Bible is the
eternal, infallible, and verbally inspired Word of God; it is
supernaturally preserved by God and is authoritative and true in all
areas of which it speaks. We hold to a literal,
historical-grammatical method of interpretation.
-
We believe in one God, Creator of all
things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in the persons of
the Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit; these three are one
in essence, but distinct in person and function.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ, the
eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, to reveal
God and redeem man from sin. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless
life, and miracles. We believe in His substitutionary atonement for
sin and His resurrection from the dead. We believe in His ascension
to heaven, His continuing ministry as Head of the Church and High
Priest and Lord of every believer, His immanent Second Coming, and His
exaltation by the Father.
-
We believe that God created the entire
universe in six days, and that He created mankind in His own image.
Because of Adam’s sin, all men are born sinners, separated from God,
and deserving of death. Man is incapable of saving himself by any
means.
-
We believe that salvation comes by
God’s grace, through faith alone in the finished work of Christ.
-
We believe that the Church is the body
of Christ, consisting of all true believers, and that God has
established the local church to equip the saints for the work of the
ministry.
-
We believe in the resurrection of both
the saved and the lost: the saved unto eternal life in heaven and the
lost to eternal damnation in the lake of fire.
