Our History
History
Florida Christian University grew from Florida
Theological Seminary, founded in 1985, by the
first president Rev. Dr. Harold L. Shindoll,
ThD. The seminary was the visionary foundation of Florida Christian University. Undergraduate and Graduate students in "Biblical Studies,"
"Pastoral Leadership," and "Theology" may
have their diplomas with the title of either
"Florida Christian University" or "Florida Theological Seminary." These "Biblical Studies,"
"Pastoral Leadership," and "Theology" courses
will apply for a degree for graduation from
either "Florida Christian University" or "Florida
Theological Seminary."
In the beginning academic programs were limited to classes at the Orlando campus. But distance learning education programs by video,
independent study, and online provided for the
university’s Global Outreach to meet the growing student interest.
Upon the death of its founder Dr. Shindoll in
1998, his wife, Mrs. Dr. Floralee A. Shindoll,
PhD was elected president and later President
Emeritus.
In 1999 Dr. Anthony Portigliatti PhD, was
elected President and Chancellor with substantial institutional growth in the academic programs and global outreach which included University programs.
The University promotes global outreach distance learning education programs by video,
independent study, and online. The University
supports the development of both campus and
distance learning education programs with qualified faculty and use of state of the art technological infrastructure. Courses are offered in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
The University develops adjunct instruction in
different areas with the participation of international adjunct instructors invited to these events.
Florida Christian University is the center of
ministerial development and support for Florida

them to fit into a globalized world of work. The
University is committed to continuing education
that enables the student to constantly update
their resume. The students are served with a
competency-based education through on campus classes and distance learning education, by
video, independent study, and online classes.
Our purpose is to provide quality educational
programs that will improve the lives of our
students. We provide programs for undergraduates and graduates who have a lifelong interest
in effective educational programs with Christian
foundations. Our programs and curricula meet
the human social requirements with flexible
hours that accommodate the time schedule of
our students.
Language Plans
Florida Christian University added Spanish and
Portuguese languages classes.
Other languages will follow, Lord willing. Check

Mission and Purpose

institution of higher education. The University

degrees at university level; with academic programs that are offered under ethical Christian

for the students to manage and to strategically
lead with learned skills and abilities in their
chosen professional field, to establish Florida
Christian University as an institution of higher
learning for students to be trained in any part of
the world, to provide the tools necessary for
Standards of Excellence
Statement of Faith
Motto
We believe the Bible is the literal, infallible, and
inspired Word of God, and is the final authority
on all matters of faith and life. [Matthew 24:35,
2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4].
We believe there is one God Who is revealed to
us in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit. [John 1:1-4 & 14, Romans 8:9, 2
Corinthians 13:14].
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, and His
death, burial, and bodily resurrection, and in His
complete deity and humanity; that He is fully
God and came in the likeness of man-God
incarnate. [Romans 1:3-4, John 1:1-14, I Timothy 3:16].
We believe Christ’s atoning sacrifice on Calvary
has made possible the salvation of all mankind,
by grace, through faith, and that a Christian
stands, and lives, by the faith of the Son of God.
[Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Galatians 2:16,
Hebrews 9:12].
We believe in the present day, New Testament
ministry of the Holy Spirit. [Mark 16:20, I Corinthians 12:7-11].
We believe in His appearing in and through the
Body of Christ, and His imminent physical
return. [Revelation 20:11-15, I Corinthians 15:13
-17, John 14:20 & 23, and 2 Peter 1:4].
We believe that God was in Christ reconciling
the entire world unto Himself, and that the
ministry of reconciliation has been given to the
Body of Christ. [John 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians
5:18-21].
We believe in the bodily resurrection and righteous judgment of all mankind. [Acts 26:8, Revelation 20:11-15].
We believe concerning matters not specifically
addressed in the Scripture, that the believer
should seek the leading of the Holy Spirit, and
the witness of the Word of God for direction.
[Romans 14:4-5, Philippians 2:12].
We believe in water baptism as an act of obedience to the Word of God. [Matthew 28:19, Acts
2:38, Mark 16:16].
Our motto is “Work of Faith with Power,”
which is based on II Thessalonians 1:11, (KJV)
“Wherefore also, we pray always for you, that
our God would count you worthy of this calling,
and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness,
and the work of faith with power.”
God fulfills the pleasure of goodness and all the
work of faith. It means that God blesses us for
our work of faith. It does not matter what is our
work, profession, or ministry, we can do a work
of faith. God understands the work and fulfills
us with His power.

Policies and Facilities
Employment Assistance
Disciplinary Actions
The School has not made and will not make any
guarantees of employment or salary upon student’s graduation. The University will provide
student with placement assistance upon request,
which will consist of identifying employment
opportunities and advising them on appropriate
means of attempting to realize these opportunities.
Conditions for dismissals or disciplinary actions
will be spelled out in individual cases in writing.
Those conditions will be determined by one or
more Faculty members, with the approval of the
Dean.
The student will always be required to accept the
dismissal or disciplinary action, or to contest it,
in writing. If there is no contest action, we will
consider that the student has accepted the conditions and the corresponding action.
If the student believes that the conditions for
the dismissal or the disciplinary action are inappropriate, he/she can appeal following the
Appeals Policy of Florida Christian University.
Withdrawal Policy
A student may drop classes, or may change
classes after the end of the first session of the
course, but not later than the beginning of the

automatically withdrawn from a class simply for

done in writing, during the appropriate time
frame.
The drop/add period for the course is required

Appeals Policy
To ensure that our procedures will not be conducted in a capricious or arbitrary manner, we
have established that all the appeals from complaint solutions, dismissals, or disciplinary actions will be handled by a committee of staff,
students and faculty.
The appeals committee will be composed of one
member representing the staff, one member
representing the students, one member representing the faculty, and one member appointed
by the student who presented the appeal (never
being the student, of course). If the given solution is still not satisfactory, then the student can
submit a new appeal and that new appeal will be
handled by the Chancellor, after he has listened
to the Board of Trustees.

nineteen rooms amount to a total of 7,049.30 sq.
ft. Other rooms in our large building are available to us as we grow.

Christian University has committed to utilize
technological progress towards e-learning, still in
combination with traditional learning. Such
commitment and strategy will open new opportunities for anyone to learn anytime, anywhere,
at one’s own pace.

researchers with the use of multimedia presentation will also reinforce understanding and application. In addition, new doors of possibility of
building learning communities will foster human
interaction and knowledge sharing.

Undergraduate and Graduate students in "Biblical Studies," "Pastoral

either "Florida Christian University" or "Florida Theological Seminary."
These "Biblical Studies," "Pastoral Leadership," and "Theology" courses
will apply for a degree for graduation from either "Florida Christian University" or "Florida Theological Seminary."
The identification of a Christian ministry demands an essential need of a
theological-Biblical formation and at the same time the development and
application of methods to study the Bible, and methodologies for teaching
it. The University has oriented this program in order to supply this need,
complementing it with a combined study of Theology, Religion, Ministry,
Missions, and other areas that will enable the student to acquire a job in an
administrative field, as well as work in the ministerial field.
