Online Student Standard of Conduct
As an Online student at Charis Bible College:
- I accept that the Holy Spirit is continuing the work He started at Pentecost empowering me to live a godly life and continue in all the works of Jesus.
- I accept that all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correction, and training in righteousness.
- I believe that grace gives me the power to overcome sin, not indulge in it.
- I accept the responsibility of representing the Kingdom of God and Charis Bible College with integrity and honesty by being a positive Christian role model in judgment, dignity, respect, and Christian living. I acknowledge that this includes, but is not limited to, abstaining from such activities as the abuse of alcohol, use of illicit drugs, the consumption of pornography, abstaining from all sexual activity outside of biblical marriage, lying, and deceptive behavior.
- I believe that life begins at conception and must be protected. I believe that marriage is a permanent and exclusive consecrated union between one man and one woman established by God, and intrinsically ordained towards procreation. I further believe that the sexual act outside of this marital bond is prohibited as sinful.
- I believe that God created humankind in His image, male and female, biologically and sexually different but with equal personal dignity. I, therefore, view any rejection of one’s biological sex and any attempt to physically change, alter or deny one’s biological sex from conception as forbidden by God’s Word and His creation order.
- I accept that all people are created equally in God’s image. Any behavior contrary to this view including, but not limited to, racism, causing physical harm or bullying, or sexual harassment or assault will not be tolerated.
- I understand that faithfulness and integrity are important for success as a student at Charis Bible College. Therefore, I will listen to all the lessons in their entirety, complete assignments, and adhere to the instructions for taking the exam in my courses. I understand that the course will not be considered complete if I do not adhere to these requirements.
- I understand that for my own privacy and security, Charis Bible College encourages me to not share information that others could use to harm me, including information that would allow others to physically locate or contact me outside any Charis Bible College Online Campus system.
