the law of the Spirit of life
““...in For
Christ Jesus hath made me free

”
— Rom. 8:1-2
WELCOME FROM JIMMY SWAGGART
The world that you’re going out into is never pleasant, it never has been, but
you have one anchor: the Lord Jesus Christ. You have one power: the power
of the Holy Spirit. You have one message: the Gospel of the kingdom. And
you are equipped, not because you’ve come here—we pray that we have contributed a tiny bit toward that which God has touched your heart with—but
you are equipped because of what Jesus did at Calvary and what the mighty
power of the Holy Spirit is continuing to do within your heart and within your
life. Hold your head high and square your shoulders; what you have is bigger
than a million devils because Jesus lives within your heart. Go out and win
the lost at any cost. Go out and bring in the sheaves, rescue the perishing and
care for the dying. Go out and let the world know that Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today, and forever. Go out and preach the Word. Preach it without
compromising it; preach it without favor; and preach it because the preach is
within you. Live it because the Live-er is within you — Jesus Christ. Proclaim it because He is Lord of lords and King of kings forever and forever.
The words you just read are the same words I spoke to one of the first graduating classes of this college back in 1987. Since that time, now more than a quarter of a century ago, we’ve seen thousands of men and women from around
the globe pass through this unique experience called World Evangelism Bible
College and Seminary. Today, many of them serve the Lord in both ministry
and in the mainstream workforce.
In obedience to the Lord and His leading, we’ve done everything we can to
ensure that the students here learn the Bible from men and women of God
who know the Word and believe it, and who understand the moving and
operation of the Holy Spirit. Seventeen years ago, when the Lord revealed
the Message of the Cross to me, we immediately made this message of Jesus
Christ and Him crucified the cornerstone of our college curriculum. This
word of truth will change your life; that I guarantee.
The Psalmist said, “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path” (Ps. 119:105). That lamp and that light is Jesus Christ and Him crucified
(I Cor. 2:2). That means, also, that there is no other lamp, and no other light!
Should you choose to attend WEBC&S, we pledge to do our very best to help
that lamp and that light to burn brighter and brighter in your heart and life.
In the Master’s service, yours,
Jimmy Swaggart
founder and chancellor

WELCOME FROM LOREN LARSON
The knowledge of the Word of God should be of paramount concern to every
Christian. If a believer desires to enhance his understanding of God and the
ways of God, the Bible is the only appropriate source that need be studied. We
believe that all the answers to life’s complexities are found within the confines
of Scripture. The keys of experiencing the abundant life that Jesus has promised
are found within the Bible. It is a mystery to me why any believer would not
desire to understand or study this great Book.
Here at WEBC&S, we focus primarily on the study of the Scriptures. The
classes themselves are either an overview or an in-depth study of some portion
of the Word. The classes that are not exegetical studies of the Word use the
Bible as their primary source. In the classes themselves, the Spirit of God
works in the lives of the students to drive home truth. At times, the moving
of the Spirit will completely take over the class and the students will begin
to praise, cry, pray, and worship the One they are studying about. It is in this
atmosphere that true spiritual growth can best occur.
Whether you are interested in being here for a semester or for the entire fouryear program, I know that a great opportunity for spiritual maturity will be
extended to you. You may feel called to full-time ministry, or perhaps you
just want to spend a year in a strong Bible program before going on to another
institution. In either case, WEBC&S will serve you well, teaching you and
encouraging you in your personal relationship with the Lord.
I believe that men and women of God who know the Word of God are vital
toward fulfilling God’s present and future plans for His church. If the Lord
is leading you to be a part of WEBC&S, please don’t push that call away. We
will do everything possible to help you fulfill the call or function that God
has designed just for you. So come renew your mind with the Word of God
and discover for yourself what is that good, and perfect, and acceptable will
of God for you.
In Christ,
Loren Larson

A DYNAMIC PENTECOSTAL ATMOSPHERE
WEBC&S was birthed through the ministry of Jimmy Swaggart. The distinct emphasis of
Brother Swaggart is the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and it is this ongoing principal upon which
the college was founded and continues to operate. From the chapel services with their lively
worship of God, to the classrooms, to the residence halls — the entire campus is dedicated to
walking in the Spirit of God.
Here at WEBC&S, chapel is often referred to as the classroom of the Holy Spirit. Under the
ministry of Brother Swaggart, Spirit-filled professors, visiting speakers, and upperclassmen, the
Word of God is illuminated by the Holy Spirit to the hearts of the students. It is not uncommon
to hear a student say, “I can’t wait to see what the Lord is going to do in chapel this week!”
The entire campus community is encouraged to spend time daily in prayer and personal
devotions. WEBC&S offers many opportunities for the students and staff to get together
every week and seek the face of the Lord both at WEBC&S and Family Worship Center, as
well as in the residence halls.
WEBC&S students have the opportunity to participate and be blessed in the Easter and
Thanksgiving Campmeetings as well as the highly anticipated International Youth Conferences. One thing is for sure, ministry opportunities abound for the WEBC&S student.

OUR PURPOSE
the preaching of
““For
the Cross is to them
that perish foolishness; but unto us
which are saved it is
the power of God.
”
— I Cor. 1:18
The founding of a Bible college to prepare men and women for an in-depth,
Spirit-filled ministry has been Brother Swaggart’s dream for a number of years.
He has felt such an institution will play an important role in evangelizing the
world as the coming of Christ draws near. As Brother Swaggart says:
“We don’t have much time left. We must do everything within our
power to reach a lost and dying world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
All our energies and all of our resources must be utilized in this battle
we’re waging for souls. That includes equipping young men and women
to carry on until Jesus calls us home.”
As a result of this vision, WEBC&S opened in the fall of 1984.
The goal of WEBC&S is to build students into the kind of men and women
God wants them to be. From its doors the college is sending missionaries,
evangelists, pastors, and teachers to all the world.
The entire lifestyle of WEBC&S is based on a scriptural foundation. This
lifestyle is stressed in each class, and a daily walk with Christ is emphasized in
every facet of each individual’s life who is associated with the college.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
World Evangelism Bible College and Seminary is a Pentecostal training
center for equipping Spirit-anointed students to fulfill their God-ordained
roles in world evangelism, and church ministry.
5
DISTINCTIVES OF WEBC&S
The College and Seminary have the privilege of being associated with the worldwide outreach of Jimmy
Swaggart Ministries via its various media outreaches. This brings each student into direct contact with
men and women of God who are called to preach the Message of the Cross to a lost and dying world. All
students are aware and expectant that they are a part of a mighty last day move of God’s Spirit.
Philosophy of Education
WEBC&S is committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God and projects this revealed truth as the
integrating factor in all of its educational processes. WEBC&S is Protestant, evangelical, and Pentecostal, and it believes that the church has been given a renewed emphasis on the person and work of the
Holy Spirit. Through the anointing or enabling of the Holy Spirit, true knowledge can be acquired and
significant work can be accomplished in the kingdom of God. Its world view is that in the Bible, God has
given a revelation of Himself as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and given a revelation of His
Son, Jesus Christ, as our Saviour and Lord. This world view requires the highest achievable academic
standard, a genuinely Christian code of conduct, and a commitment to worldwide evangelism.
The primary thrust of the academic program is to provide students with both a thorough grounding in
the Bible and opportunities for immediate practical ministry experience.
Objectives
The general objectives of the College arise out of its mission statement and are intellectual, personal,
and spiritual in nature. These objectives are the expected results which the College desires for each of
its students. The college anticipates that students who successfully complete their chosen undergraduate programs should:
1. Be committed to the conviction that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the inspiration of which is
plenary and verbal so that the entire Bible is infallible and inerrant.
2. Possess a thorough biblical training which includes an understanding of the chief content of the
books of the Bible and which comprises a thorough grasp of the fundamental doctrines of the Bible.
3. Utilize unique personal gifts for ministry which have been developed by practical, consistent,
hands-on training.
4. Develop a commitment to worldwide evangelism.
5. Demonstrate growth in personal character in spirituality, responsibility, stewardship, and cooperativeness in personal relationships.
6. Adopt patterns of good health as a lifestyle.
7. Gain competence in a chosen field of Christian service, or give evidence of adequate preparation for
related graduate-studies programs.
6
THE DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
We Believe:
The Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative
written Word of God.
There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in
His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to
the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to
this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years.
The only means of being cleansed from sin is through
repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for
personal salvation.
The redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.
The baptism with the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is
given to believers who ask for it.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
In the Blessed Hope — the Rapture of the church at
Christ’s coming.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to
everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

STUDENT LIFE
Students enter WEBC&S to be trained by Spirit-filled men and women for the
glory of God.
As a student, you will make the commitment to be a part of this vision. The
following seven covenant principles, are based on the Scriptures.
The biblical foundation for each of these covenant principles is set forth on the
following pages. Each student is strongly urged to prayerfully consider each of
these foundations for an effective ministry and testimony to the world. It is our
fervent prayer that each student will grow spiritually as well as academically.
We stand ready to pray and work with each student in these areas. Please feel
free to reach out if a need exists.

9
TIMES OF PRAYER
Prayer plays a vital roll in the daily life of WEBC&S. Prayer times are made available to all of our students, and they are encouraged to attend these prayer meetings as much as possible. Multiple weekly prayer meetings are held at the College
as well as the prayer meetings held at FWC. Also, very special to the students, are
the times of “Hall Prayer,” which is a time designated to resident students to get
together on their respective floors and share in devotions and prayer.
CHAPEL ATTENDANCE
Classroom of the Holy Spirit
All full-time students, regardless of whether or not they reside on campus, are
required to attend Wednesday and Friday, for vibrant Pentecostal chapel services under the leadership of the president of the College. Professors and guest
speakers will preach and teach the Word, each bringing their own unique experience and testimony of God’s grace, coupled with the anointing of the Holy
Spirit to make for powerful times of learning and growth for the students. It is
not uncommon for the Holy Spirit to move so strongly that the service is literally
turned over to times of worship and altar time before the Lord.
Mondays are scheduled for student ministry practicum in which the students
gather and report on their weekly church attendance as well as give account for
their weekly practicum (hands-on ministry). Students will choose from a variety of options such as nursing home, children’s ministry, crossfire, etc.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE
STUDENT MINISTRY
Family Worship Center, the 7,000-seat sanctuary on the grounds of
Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, is the home church for all WEBC&S
students. All full-time students are required to faithfully attend
both Sunday services and the Wednesday evening service. Students
are encouraged to attend all other special services and conferences.
Students who were Baton Rouge area residents attending a church of
like faith before entering WEBC&S may leave their membership with
and continue attending that church upon written approval from the
dean of students.
The Student Ministry Program is considered to be one of the most important distinctives. We believe that our
students should be involved in ministry
throughout their tenure at WEBC&S.
In light of the Great Commission and
the urgency of the times, we must prepare our students to begin their ministry
now. Student ministry is optional for
students in their first four years, but it is
mandatory for all students enrolled in
Seminary. Those students involved in
ministry must attend weekly evaluation
and planning sessions.
While attending WEBC&S, students are encouraged to get involved in
many of the activities and outreaches of FWC. Students will have the
opportunity and privilege of learning and growing under the anointed
ministry of Brother Swaggart and other outstanding pastors, evangelists, and missionaries.
10
STUDENT HOUSING
We have, we think, some of the
finest facilities in the world. We
have excellent dormitory housing
which is available to students age
25 and under who are enrolled
with a minimum of four courses
per semester.
Each dorm room is 300 square feet
with a semiprivate bath furnished
with a bed, dresser, desk, chair,
etc. and with a panoramic view of
the Ministry grounds. There are
kitchen facilities located on each
floor and laundry facilities in the
building with 24-hour security.
Due to College growth and limited space in our housing facilities, all students accepted after the
Fall 2013 semester will automatically be assigned a roommate. No
private rooms are available.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
WEBC&S endeavors to provide you with the finest Christian education
possible within its means and resources.
Student fees cover only a portion of the actual cost of operating the College
and Seminary. The balance is subsidized by Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
Each student is expected to be diligent in properly handling all financial
responsibilities and should demonstrate financial integrity by paying
school bills and all other bills on time.
We trust that a confirmation of God’s timing for your study at WEBC&S
will be your ability to meet the financial requirements.
See the insert entitled FINANCIAL INFORMATION for additional details.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION & PROGRAMS
There are four areas of vital importance at WEBC&S:
spiritual development, academic achievement, practical
ministry, and good health. These all receive emphasis in
the curriculum plan. WEBC&S chapel is a focal point
in daily campus activities, giving rise to a description of
the chapel period as “the classroom of the Holy Spirit.”
The Maynard Ketcham Health Fitness Building was
opened in the fall of 1987 and offers students a wellrounded program of athletic activities. Student ministry
practicums round out the academic program with a
wide variety of hands-on, practical ministry experiences.
All of these elements of training are considered to be
integral parts of proper preparation of young people for
their God-given call to service.
THE WEBC&S LIBRARY
Just as chapel is the center of the spiritual life of the
campus, so the library is the hub of the academic.
Book Check-Out
Most books in the library are checked out for two weeks
and may be renewed unless a hold has been placed on
the book. Some books are placed on a limited check-out
or reserve and are marked accordingly. Books are not
checked out to students who have unpaid book fines. A
student may have a maximum of 10 books checked out
at any one time.
Fines
A fine is levied for each book or other library material
which is overdue. A lost-book fee is assessed for books
and material 30 days overdue.
