the right to change without notice any statement in this publication concerning,

President From its inception in
1991 The Orlando Institute for Leadership of Ministry was conceived as a
prototype of a new type of theological education. The goal is to develop the
leadership potential of men and women so they become great teachers, pastors,
evangelists, and missionaries for Jesus Christ. We equip leaders to disciple
the nations. Our educational
philosophy focuses on the development of two areas: personal character and
readiness for ministry. Biblical, theological and ministry instruction serve
those ends. An educational philosophy of "mastery learning"
strongly reinforces this goal. Our faculty are all men
and women of high character and proven ministry ability, as well as holding
high academic credentials. This catalog will inform you of the program. Time
with the faculty, staff and students will show you our heart and vision. Welcome to a new kind
of education. Dr. Steve
Clinton
President One Mission The Institute's mission is to build Christ-centered multiplying disciples, who will lead spiritual movements of multiplication everywhere. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 19:10; Eph. 5:18; II Tim. 2:2). The seminary utilizes a mentoring model for theological
education similar to the methodology Jesus used in training his disciples.
The biblical principle for Christian education, "teach them to observe
all that I have commanded you ...", is at the heart of this program. The goal is to develop
gifted men and women who can give substantial ministry leadership in building
Christ's Kingdom spiritually and corporately. The programs are designed to
develop students' gifts and abilities, so they, in turn, can equip other
believers for ministry (2 Tim. 2:2). This goal helps meet the global
need for trained Christian leaders by establishing extension sites worldwide.
It is designed to help fulfill the Great Commission through the provision of
accessible evangelical theological education and ministry training for the
developing Christian leader. The Orlando
Institute for Leadership of Ministry is a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.
Classes are taught from a variety of evangelical, theological perspectives.
The faculty has deep commitment to the church of Jesus Christ, to one
another, and to the students. Three Priorities The school seeks
students who desire to equip the Body of Christ to fulfill the Great
Commandment and the Great Commission. To prepare the students for future
leadership and maximum influence, we have established the following three
priorities. HEART FOR GOD At the heart of a
leader is the conviction that he must be about the business of serving God. A
heart fully dedicated to Jesus Christ and a will surrendered to serving Him
are the foundation for ministry. A leader must walk in the power of the Holy
Spirit and live a holy life. Success in ministry and in life comes through
faithful obedience to God. ACADEMIC ESSENTIALS The student will be
taught to determine truth critically, as measured by the Word of God and
personal and historical experience. Knowledge and skills are most effective
when flowing from a biblically grounded mind. The classes, faculty and
library are the main elements for fulfilling this purpose. FIELD MINISTRY
EDUCATION Men and women are
equipped for ministry through active, supervised involvement in a church or
mission setting. There is supervised personal training each week in
evangelism, discipleship, leadership, communication, and community
involvement. These aspects are developed in the context of a team which helps
build relational skills and a unified spirit. Students may also participate
in cross-cultural ministry and world missions. Ministry involvement not only
allows the student to apply his or her learning, but results in classroom
discussion from a real life perspective. A biblical approach leads us to such
a mastery model of education. The sole basis of our
belief is the Bible God's infallible written Word the sixty-six books of the
Old and New Testaments. We believe it was uniquely, verbally and fully
inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that it was written without error (inerrant)
in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all
matters on which it speaks. The Orlando Institute
for Leadership of Ministry adheres to the major doctrinal teachings on which
there has been agreement historically among all true Christians. We desire to
allow for freedom of persuasion on other doctrinal matters, provided any
interpretation is based upon Scripture alone and that no such interpretation
becomes an issue which hinders the unity of the body of Christ. We explicitly affirm
our belief in the following teachings of Scripture: 1. There is one true
God, eternally existing in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit each of
whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of
personality (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:18; John 1:1-3,18; Acts 5:3,4). 2. Jesus Christ is God,
the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the
Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect deity and true
humanity united in one person forever (John 1:1,14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke
1:30-37; Colossians 2:9; Philippians 2:6-11). 3. He lived a sinless
life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as
their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation
for all who trust Him alone (1 John 3:5; 1 Peter 3:18; John 10:17,18; 2
Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 4:10; Romans 3:24-26). 4. He rose from the
dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He had lived and died (1
Corinthians 15:4,14-20; Luke 24:36-43; John 20:24-29). 5. He ascended bodily
into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the
only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own
(Acts 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:20; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 7:24,25; 1 John 2:1,2). 6. Man was originally
created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was
alienated from his Creator. The historic fall brought all mankind under
divine condemnation (Genesis 1:26,27;2:15-17;3:1-24; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians
15:21,22). 7. Man's nature is
corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need
of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit (Romans 3:9-20; Ephesians
2:1-7; Mark 7:20-23; John 3:1-21; Titus 3:5-7). 8. The salvation of man
is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in
part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His
righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their
salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight (Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans
3:21-26;9:30-33; Galatians 3:11-14,22-24). 9. It is the privilege
of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from
the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is
not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the
Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written
Word (1 Thessalonians 1:5; John 1:12,13; 1 John 5:9-13; Romans 8:14-17). 10. The Holy Spirit has
come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work
of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life
to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and
seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are
appropriated in the believer's life by faith (John 16:7-15; Titus 3:5; John
3:5-8; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13,14; 4:30; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Galatians
3:2,3; Romans 8:2-4). 11. Every believer is
called to so live in the power and control of the indwelling Spirit that he
will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of
God (Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 5:18). 12. Jesus Christ is the
Head of the Church, His body, which is composed of all men, living and dead,
who have been joined to Him through saving faith (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians
1:22,23; 5:23-32; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). 13. God admonishes His
people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in
ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual
encouragement (Hebrews 10:23-25; Acts 2:41,42; 20:7; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1
Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-4:2). 14. At physical death
the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the
Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and
blessing (2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23,24; Luke 23:39-43; 1
Corinthians 15:12-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 John 3:2; Philippians
3:20,21). 15. At physical death
the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the
Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and
condemnation (Luke 16:19-31; John 5:23-29; Revelation 20:10-15; Matthew
13:40-43). 16. Jesus Christ will
come again to the earth personally, visibly and bodily to consummate history
and the eternal plan of God (Acts 1:9-11; 3:19-21; Matthew 24:44; Revelation
19-22). 17. The Lord Jesus
Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world
and to disciple men and women of every nation. The fulfillment of the Great
Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated
to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for
us," (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:46-49; Acts 1:7,8; Romans
12:1,2; Galatians 2:19,20; Philippians 3:7-21). *This Statement of
Faith is identical to that of Campus Crusade for Christ International, with
the addition of scriptures. All faculty and administrators listed in this
catalog are required biannually to sign this statement of faith without
mental reservation. Dr. William Bright Founder Campus Crusade for Christ Accreditation and
Approval Statement The Orlando
Institute for Leadership of Ministry was authorized, beginning in 1996,
to grant certificates and degrees by the State Board of Independent Colleges
and Universities of the Florida State Department of Education. The Institute
also has cooperative program offerings with other schools in the United
States, Asia and in Latin America. TOI
offers three certificate, a partial undergraduate program (through FLET University), and two Master's level
programs. History This school is the
seminary and training center at the headquarters of Campus Crusade for Christ.
The school began in 1991, when it was registered with the State of Florida.
In 1996 it was given authorization to grant certificates and degrees.
Distance education classes began in 1996. Location and Campus
Facilities The Institute is
located at 100 Lake Hart Dr., on a 260 acre site just eight miles southeast
of downtown Orlando, at the international headquarters of Campus Crusade for Christ.
Administration, library and classrooms are all on site. Admissions Pre-Entrance Background As a Christian
institution, the Institute is seeking students with commitment to Jesus
Christ and to involvement in leading His church. Students should be in
sympathy with the doctrinal statement and the statement of purpose. In
addition, a broad undergraduate curriculum with exposure to the major fields in
humanities and social sciences is excellent preparation for our graduate
education in theology. A strong emphasis on communication skills is
desirable. Students will also
benefit from a sound knowledge of Scripture and from ministry experience.
Active participation in evangelism, discipleship and a local church are a
necessary preparation for seminary. Entering students should have basic
skills in English grammar, writing and library research. All programs require
reading advanced texts and responding appropriately in writing. If there are
deficiencies in any of these areas, the student must participate in
non-credit remedial programs and will not be allowed to enter the final phase
of studies until they are corrected. Admission
Requirements The Institute considers
applicant qualifications in the following areas: 1) academic ability; 2)
personal, social and spiritual maturity; 3) ministry leadership ability; and
4) ministry experience. The normal academic
admission requirement to the Master's programs is a Bachelor of Arts degree
or equivalent with a 3.0 grade point average. Applicants who fall below the
3.0 grade point average, or are admitted with other special restrictions, may
be admitted on probation. Students admitted on probation will have a progress
review at the end of their first term. All students must be fluent in reading
and speaking English. Application
Procedures In addition to
completing the application, the applicant must provide the following items: 1. A $45 non-refundable
application fee 2. Official transcripts
from all previous schools beyond high school 3. Personal references
(including one pastoral reference.) 4. Fill out an
application form on the web site and submit it All applicants are notified
periodically regarding the status of their application. The entire admissions
process normally takes four weeks from receipt of all materials. Equal
Opportunity The school admits
students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin or gender to all the
rights, privileges, programs and activities generally made available to
students at the Institute. It does not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, gender or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its
educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, or other
student programs. Student
Activities LIBRARY Our library supports
the academic programs by serving research needs of students and faculty. It
is located at the Lake Hart campus. In addition to books and reference
material the library contains audio, video and multimedia resources. The
library offers open stack accessibility with facilities for group and
individual study. The library serves students, faculty, alumni,
administrative staff, Campus Crusade personnel and area pastors. It is open
Monday through Friday during the academic year, except for those public
holidays and events observed by the Institute. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT We realize that
students grow under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Since our students are
already developing as Christian leaders, we expect them to walk in the
Spirit, living lives modeling the character of Jesus Christ and maintaining
personal integrity in all areas of life. The use of illegal drugs, alcohol,
and tobacco are not permitted on campus. The Institute also holds to biblical
standards for human sexuality as prescribing a monogamous heterosexual
relationship within marriage and chastity for those who are single. Conduct
unbecoming to a Christian, as described here, or adversely affecting the
welfare or reputation of the Institute or other students, will result in
disciplinary action, which could include expulsion. Tuition,
Fees and Expenses The administration
desires to provide a quality theological education for all its students.
Tuition charges paid by the student only cover a portion of the actual costs
of their education. The balance of the expenses are met by gifts and grants
from individual friends, corporations, churches and other Christian
organizations. The following is a list of the fees and tuition. Table of Fees (The school reserves
the right to change the amount of fees and tuition at any time, with notice
given to current students) TUITION &
GRADUATION Graduate tuition per
credit hour $185.00 Certificate tuition per
credit hour $85.00 Graduation Fee (all
degree programs) $150.00 Auditing Fee (per
credit) $85.00 GENERAL Application fee
(certificate and degree) $45.00 Field Ministry Testing
and Evaluation fee (per credit) $50.00 Late Payment fee $40.00 Transcripts (each)
$5.00 Payments Student accounts are
due and payable during the first week of each term. Students should have
ample funds at the time of registration for tuition, books and all necessary
expenses and obligations during the term. A deferred payment plan is
available by special arrangement. Overdue account balances must be paid in
full each quarter before a student will be allowed to register and attend classes.
Final grades, official transcripts, degrees and certificates will not be
issued until delinquent accounts are cleared. Refunds FULL REFUND PERIOD Students have three
working days following the day enrollment was signed or effective to cancel
enrollment and receive refund of all monies paid to the Institute or its
representative, including the refund of registration and instructional
materials fees, provided no classes have been attended, lessons completed or
materials used. A student may cancel enrollment by notifying the Registrar in
writing. Notice is effective when delivered or when postmarked. CANCELLATION AFTER FULL
REFUND PERIOD Should a student or
applicant cancel enrollment more than three working days following the day on
which enrollment was signed or effective, the Institute will retain as earned
the amount disclosed as a change of program fee plus any disclosed and used
instructional material costs consistent with stated policy, provided
cancellation was made before the date of scheduled start of classes. AMOUNT OF REFUND The school maintains a
policy for refund of the unused tuition, fees and other charges should
eligible persons fail to enter the course, or withdraw at any time prior to
completion. The amount refunded will be the pro
rata portion of the charges for tuition, fees and other charges protected to
its total length, except $150 not subject to prorating.
Circumstances warranting a refund must be stated in writing with an
application for refund, along with appropriate proof of such facts. Any fees paid to the
Institute will be refunded in full if the school discontinues the class for
which the student was enrolled. Any fees assessed in error will be waived
and/or refunded. All refunds will be made within 30 days after enrollment is
canceled. Any charges collected
which the institution holds for the purpose of paying to any other public or
private person, firm, organization, or agency shall be refunded in full if
the student fails to enter the class or withdraws any time prior to the
completion of the class. Such charges are not subject to any refund if the
institution has paid them prior to receipt of cancellation of a contract or
enrollment. Withdrawal Any student who must
leave the Institute for an extended period of time during the middle of a
term is responsible for properly withdrawing by contacting the Director of
Academic Affairs and the Registrar. If a student intends to withdraw
permanently, the withdrawal form must be completed and returned to the
Registrar's Office. Academic and Ministry Policies Attendance Absences will be
considered excused under the following circumstances: illness, death or birth
in the family, or other legitimate reason that can be substantiated in
writing to the faculty. Work for excused absences must be made up within
seven days of the final session of the class. Absences relate both to class
sessions and to required field ministry training. If a student misses
enough sessions that a class cannot be satisfactorily completed, the student
may withdraw from the class at any time prior to the final class session. If
a student plans to miss more than ten percent of the sessions, he or she must
obtain the permission of the Director of Academic Affairs at their site. Catalog The catalog under which
a student is admitted will be the guide to graduation requirements and will
be in effect for up to five years. The student may choose to be under the
requirements of a subsequent catalog. Credit The Institute operates
on a system of semester credits. This system include 15 weeks of classes,
plus finals. Classes may also be taught in intensive, modular, directed
study, or conference style settings. The equivalent academic time and quality
of work will be maintained for all graduate level classes. Evaluating
Prior Education and Training Evaluation of academic
or ministry experience which occurred while not enrolled in an academic
institution is difficult to assess. However, the administration recognizes
that occasionally a student has accomplished sufficient depth of study and
ministry to fulfill the graduate level goals of the Institute. Based on the
mastery model approach, a student is not required to complete work in areas
in which he or she is already proficient, in the estimation of the Director
of Academic Affairs at the residence school. After a student has
been admitted to the school and before the second term of enrollment, the
student may request that his/her experience be assessed. This assessment will
follow specific guidelines suggested by the faculty and approved by the
administration, including when, how, and by who the supervision of training
took place and what academic materials were used. The student's program may
be reduced by a maximum of 24 credits. No credit is given for life experience
in itself. Distance
Education Program and Sites The distance education
program began in 1996 through cooperation with Korean Campus Crusade for
Christ. Adjunct faculty were approved and site coordinators appointed in
Chicago and Washington, D.C., working with Korean populations here in the
U.S. In addition, programs
have begun with Chinese churches in Los Angeles (1997) and with the Bridges
educational program (1998). In 1997 a program was approved for Trinidad and
Tobago. In 1999 cooperative programs were begun with other seminaries and
universities in Florida and Latin America. In 2001 an extension opened in
Jacksonville, FL. In 2004 a cooperative relationship was established with
HarvestNet Institute in Cleveland. In 2005 FLET University began granting undergraduate credit for up
to 24 credits of TOI classes. The Bible and Ministry
certificate programs and the Master of Christian Ministry program are
available through these distance education programs. Other sites may be
approved after qualified faculty and an administrator are approved. All
extension degree programs require one session at the residence school or
classes from two faculty from the residence school. Field
Ministry Credit Field ministry is at
the heart of the school. Classes are offered each term and the teaching and
assessment follow typical class offerings. Academic work is given to create
the background of the particular form of ministry and a mentor will lead the
student in performance of the field or "live" ministry. It is the
goal of the Institute that the ministry experience of the student be
cumulative, so that the people led to Christ are discipled by the student and
then involved in a growth group and subsequently involved in ministry
themselves, so that a target audience of a city is effectively reached for
Christ. Successful completion of field ministry is indicated by grades for
the classes. Students must achieve a grade of B in the Discipleship class
before they will be allowed to graduate. These ministry classes
may be disproportional from academic classes in hours of involvement, since
the results of ministry cannot be guaranteed. But the accomplishment of
ministry is essential to the adequate preparation of a leader. Grades The grading pattern is
traditional and represents the actual achievement of the student in academic
work and ministry. A grade of "A" earns 4 grade points, a
"B" 3 grade points, a "C" 2 grade points, and a
"D" earns 1 grade point. A "+" or "-" adds to
or reduces the grade by .3 grade points. It is assumed that all students will
maintain high standards of academic integrity in testing and paper writing and
that the faculty will assign grades based on achievement rather than
potential. A grade average of 3.0 is required for graduation. Graduation Graduation indicates
that mastery of the curriculum has been achieved, and is awarded upon
completion of (1) the requisite classes for a program and (2) achievement of
satisfactory performance of ministry. Achievement in both categories is
summarized by the grade point average in the appropriate classes. All
Master's degrees also require a comprehensive exam. The student must be
current financially to graduate. Guided
Research and Independent Study The faculty wish to
encourage the student to make the program as personal as possible. If a
student is interested in a specific research area, a guided research form or an
independent study form may be obtained and filled out by the student. If a
faculty member approves the class the student wishes to take then the student
may enroll for the class during the following term. Such classes will not
take the place of any required classes unless approved by the academic
director. Probation
and Dismissal Upon entry to the
school or at the end of any term, a student may be placed on probation due to
excessive withdrawals, more than one incomplete, or a grade average below 3.0
for that term. Since any student admitted to the school is one whom the
faculty and administration believe has the potential to achieve a high level
of ministry success, we wish to assist a student who is struggling. While on
probation the student will meet with a faculty member to assess the nature of
the problem and to decide together on a plan to deal with the deficiency. As
soon as the problem is corrected and a grade point average of 3.0 is achieved
in a subsequent term, the probation will be removed. Dismissal is possible
for two causes. First, if a student continues to fail to achieve a 3.0 for
two consecutive terms, he will be subject to dismissal by a vote of the
graduation committee. Second, if a student engages in behavior which is not
in keeping with the high moral standards of the Bible, he will be subject to
dismissal. The president shall appoint a committee to investigate the matter
and the decision of the president shall be final. Time
Limits on Degree Programs and Classes The time limit for completion
of all degree programs is seven years from the date of matriculation at the
Institute. The time limit on all class credit is ten years from the date of
completion of the class. Transfer
of Credit In graduate education
transfer of credit from school to school is at the discretion of the
receiving school. Transfer may be accepted from other graduate level
institutions of recognized standing, where such work specifically parallels
that of classes in The Orlando Institute for Leadership of Ministry or where
classes legitimately fit into one of the Institute's degree programs. In
order to transfer credit, an official transcript must be sent to the
Admissions Office directly from the institution where the student received
previous graduate credit. The student may also be required to provide a
catalog, syllabus, or class notes from the previous institution if deemed
necessary. Transfer of credit is accepted upon approval of the Director of
Academic Affairs. The student's GPA at TOI will not include transferred
credit. In all graduate programs, the final 50% of the program must be taken
through The Orlando Institute for Leadership of Ministry. Curriculum
Design The curriculum is designed to develop the person as a leader. With a strong emphasis on mentoring and field training, it integrates Spiritual Formation (personal walk with God, godly relationships, and character development), Ministry Readiness (evangelism, discipleship, small groups, communication, and leadership), and Academic Studies (Bible, theology, biblical languages, and church history) into an harmonious unit. All the programs are coordinated so the student may complete one degree and move on to a higher degree.
A variety of
educational methods are used, relevant to the subject matter, needs of the
students, and expertise of the faculty. The focus of this curriculum is on
mastery learning rather than time on task; every student is expected to
master the materials and experiences, and personal help will be given, within
reasonable limits, to enable the student to achieve mastery. COMPONENTS OF

- The Leadership Training Class (LTC) program is the primary evangelism
and discipleship training. It is comprised of 45 hours of class and 90 hours
of application. This is taught in local churches, on campus and in Orlando.
This program is required of all students. A certificate is given upon
successful completion of the program. The Advanced Ministry
Leadership program extends the evangelism and discipleship program from
LTC into the Great Comission Training Class (GCTC), including leading a small group and training your
disciples to reach other people using the same methods you have learned. A
specific target audience of the community or campus is selected and you will
learn to trust God to begin a movement through you. It is comprised of 45
hours of class and 90 hours of application. This program is taught in Orlando
and selected extension sites. A certificate is given upon successful
completion of the program. Biblical Studies
Certificate The Institute of
Biblical Studies (IBS) is an intensive program in biblical and theological
education which was begun by Campus Crusade for Christ in 1961. The classes
are offered in conjunction with Campus Crusade training conferences or
through Campus Crusade's local training efforts, in local churches, and in
Orlando. IBS classes may be
taken for certificate credit or, by doing additional work as specified in the
class, may be taken for graduate credit. There is also an additional cost for
the graduate credit. Requirements for the IBS Certificate include completion
of 24 credits earned in the following pattern: Bible

Total
24 credits The basic program
(Master of Christian Ministry) of the school takes one year to accomplish as
a full-time student, or two or more years part-time. The central focus is on
the development of the student's character and readiness for ministry. These items are taught in
an integrated way. As the student takes the classes he or she is personally
equipped in the ministry skills and exhorted in character growth. The classes
provide the content and a personal trainer walks the student through the
process. The goal is to equip the student to become a leader of a multiplying
movement for Jesus Christ. Master of Christian
Ministry Classes are taught
integrating Bible, theology and ministry philosophy with personal growth, and
can be taken either part-time or full-time. The program is normally 36
semester credits. This program will help you to develop the skills for a
lifetime of personal ministry and Bible teaching. The program is
comprised of the following six elements:
Biblical, theological, and ministry content
Weekly meetings with a faculty and class for discussion
Weekly involvement in personal ministry, with a field mentor
Personal study, assignments, projects and papers
Weekly meeting with a ministry team of peers
