EBC Ministries MAILING ADDRESS: 4982 Cambridge Street, Greenacres, Florida 33463 - (561) 965-0363 PHYSICAL LOCATION: 5702 Lake Worth Road, Suite #5, Greenacres ebcministries.org “Love, Laugh, Let Go, Let God” 1 “Where learning to serve God is the purpose of living.” A Six-Year Religious Training College &Seminary Founded 1975 Official Catalog Accredited by: National Association of Christian Education Transworld Accrediting Commission International 2 The Birth of a Seminary E.B.C.S. is located in beautiful Greenacres, Florida. For many years, we felt the need for a seminary where all people, young and old alike, could study and train for the field of service for which God has called them. Also, that individuals may have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of a Christian life, having the desire to keep an Interdenominational spirit in our midst. At the Evangelical Bible Seminary, we are Interdenominational,. Interdenominational means different denominations working together for the same purpose. After many years of prayer and hard work God, in an unusual way, led us to open a Bible Seminary here in Greenacres, Florida. On April 14, 1975, with five students and two teachers, we launched out to fulfill the will of God. In 2001, the name was changed to Evangelical Bible College & Seminary. We are proud of our graduates, who have gone throughout the United States, the Philippines, India, El Salvador, Jamaica, and many other countries. Some hold leadership positions in international Christian organizations, while others are pastors and church leaders. Since 1975, the Evangelical Bible College & seminary has been a launching pad for the Kingdom, training and equipping Christian soldiers to go out and spread the Word of God all over the world. Our prayer and desire is to help you fulfill the calling that God has placed on your life. May God bless you always. Drs. Chadwick & Mariam Donnally Founders 3 Evangelical Bible College & Seminary Administrative Staff Evangelical Bible College & Seminary Faculty Dr. Ben Alpert, Th.D. Dr. David Donnally Dr. Tami Donnally Dr. David Fechtmeyer, B.R.E., M.R.E., D.R.E. Dr. Rick Kendall, D.D. Dr. Bettye Knighton Dr. Noemi Moore 4 Seminary Creed We believe the Holy Bible is fully inspired by God’s Spirit in the original languages. We believe in One God, existing in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. We believe that the Holy Spirit came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, comfort and heal those who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that man is totally depraved in that of himself he is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose atoning blood was shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. We believe in the water baptism of believers, symbolizing the believer’s union in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe in the observance of the Lord’s Supper, commemorating the sacrifice of our Savior for all mankind. We believe the life of the believer is to be separated from the world by consistent conduct before God and man, and is to be in the world as life giving light. We believe in the personal and visible and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ. 5 E.B.C.S. operates a full year with three semesters consisting of weekly classes.

Educational foundations: *Christian education is fundamental in having a correct world view *Christian education prepares the individual for all aspects of life *Christian education should be of the highest possible quality *Christian education should be a life-long endeavor 7 Board of Directors E.B.C.S. is a ministry of the Evangelical Bible Chapel, and is governed by its Board of Directors. Currently, that Board consists of the following: Chancellor: Dr. Charles Carrin Seminary Administrator: Dr. Bettye Knighton President: Dr. David Donnally Vice-President: Dr. Tami Donnally Executive Board Member: Dr. Gary Richard Board Members: Dr. Jeremiah Ramberg Mr. Dillard Feltner Mrs. Victoria Fritsch Dr. Bettye Knighton Accreditation E.B.C.S. is accredited by the National Association of Christian Educators. While this accreditation is recognized by many other schools and colleges, it is not recognized by the Federal Government as it relates to Title IV or V. Therefore, students cannot receive federal funding. We are also accredited through Transworld Accreditation Commission International. E.B.C.S. is exempt from state licensure under the laws and rules regulating private religious education; Chapter 1005.6 Florida Statutes, and has a current letter of exemption from the Florida Department of Education. 8 Transferring Credits Transferring E.B.C.S. credits TO other institutions: Transfer of credits to another institution is always at the discretion of the receiving institution. Even among fully accredited schools that are recognized by the federal government, transfer of credits is never guaranteed. In most instances, transferring of credits from similar programs is the most effective way for credits to be accepted. Most Transworld accredited schools and NACE accredited schools will accept transfer credits. Transferring credits to E.B.C.S. FROM other institutions: Fees apply for transferring credits to E.B.C.S. from other recognized institutions. See page 16 for more information. All courses for which the student has received credits and maintained a passing grade at the granting institution will be transferred as long as the course of study aligns with a similar course and degree program at E.B.C.S. The evaluation of credits, accepted or rejected, is solely at the discretion of the E.B.C.S. Administrator. Most Transworld accredited schools and NACE accredited schools will be accepted as transfer credits. Transferring credits from E.B.C.S. Extension School Programs: All credits from an E.B.C.S. Affiliate School are transferrable through the Bachelor level for full value. Transfer fees may apply. 9 Welcome, I am so glad you have chosen E.B.C.S. to continue your education. I hope you will find all of our courses challenging and rewarding. Our professors are all highly qualified and anointed of God. I believe they bring a unique interdenominational view of the subjects, which will help to give you a well rounded education. Many of our graduates hold positions as pastors, Christian school teachers and administrators, as well as missionaries, chaplains, Biblical counselors and evangelists in many Christian organizations all around the world. Our prayer is that your degree will enable you to fulfill your desire to study to show yourself approved, and to build the Kingdom of God. May God richly bless all you set your hands to do for His glory. In the service of the King, Dr. David Donnally Dr. David Donnally, President, EBC Ministries 10 The Evangelical Bible College and Seminary is honored to welcome Dr. Charles Carrin as our new Chancellor CHARLES CARRIN'S ministry spans the final half of the twentieth century. He was ordained in 1949 and in his youth traveled with men who preached in the 1800's. For the first twenty-seven years of his ministry, Charles was a hyper-Calvinist Baptist pastor and Presbyterian seminarian who denied the miraculous works of the Holy Spirit. Mid-way in his ministry that abruptly changed. Personal crisis forced him to acknowledge Scriptures he had previously ignored. It was a time of intense pain and testing. The truths he saw were frightening; they had power to destroy his denominational ministry and at that point he had no hope that another, more wonderful ministry awaited him. As a result of his submitting to God in that crisis, Charles emerged with an amazing anointing of the Holy Spirit. Today, his ministry centers upon the visible demonstration of the Spirit and imparting of His gifts. This new ministry has taken him to London's Westminster Chapel, the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, and other significant places. He, R.T. Kendall, the former, 25 year pastor at Westminster Chapel, and Jack Taylor, former Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention, travel together holding "Word, Spirit, Power, Conferences." As an evangelist/writer, Charles' articles have appeared in major Christian magazines in the United States and abroad. He travels extensively, teaching believers how to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. Welcome to EBCS where learning to serve God is the purpose for living. Our institution has been and expects to continue to be a major resource for equipping men and women for the ministry. EBCS offers educational experience characterized by excellence.
