In a changing world, the Christian has an unchanging standard, the Word of God. This standard must determine not only our doctrinal beliefs, but also our lifestyle. The Christian International School of Ministry Standard of Living is based upon the teachings and principles of Scripture. We believe the observing these standards will help develop personal holiness and discipline necessary for a lifestyle that glorifies God. For this reason students who enroll with Christian International School of Ministry are expected to portray the highest moral commitment by refraining for the following activities: profanity, gambling, dishonesty, substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, tobacco), all immoral activity ( including the reading or viewing of pornographic literature, homosexuality / lesbianism, or any other sexual activity outside of heterosexual monogamy within the confines of holy matrimony), or any other behavior which might cause Christ to grieve. As an institution utilizing distance education, we rely heavily upon the student’s code of honor in upholding these standards. All Christian international School of Ministry students are required to adhere to the Standards of Living as indicated on the following Agreement. This agreement is to be read, signed and submitted along with the application for enrollment. The registration process will be considered incomplete until we have received this signed document.
