LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Your Growth as a Leader Starts Right Now!

I regularly meet people who are surprised to learn that leadership is an important part of success. It’s true. Whatever we do in life, our personal development depends on our growth as leaders. All human institutions need to have leaders. We know this is true whether that institution is a church, nation, business, school, television station, or a family.

The world prizes leadership. Influence, riches, and power have been claimed by leaders who, by virtue of their vision for a better future, are able to attract the loyalty, respect, and service of others. Leaders in all walks of life are in constant demand. I recently heard someone described as a “born leader.” But I must disagree. There are too many examples in history of great leaders who developed into the role by force of their own vision and commitment. And we all have that ability. It’s quite possible you have not considered yourself a leader of any kind. Whether or not you have, you will be surprised to learn at Destiny College just how many ways you are a leader, especially to those close to you.

One of the reasons why there is a demand for leaders is that too many people, regrettably, would rather be led than assume leadership responsibility. When you are ready to accept the challenges of leadership, you will find many wonderful opportunities waiting to help you break away from the pack and to build on your achievements for future success.

Keep in mind that your growth as a leader starts right now. You do not have to be the president of a billion dollar corporation, the president of a country, or the pastor of a megachurch to be a leader.

Start with your family, friends, church, school, or workplace. You can start today by developing your leadership skills at Destiny College. We shape futures by educating people to develop the confidence, competence, and character you need to succeed as a leader.

Empowering you to become a Leader of Destiny!

Keith Johnson, PhD

is the accrediting authority for thousands of students in hundreds of schools in 9 countries on

5 | P a g e

member schools accept credits from other member schools, if the credits apply to their

programs.

OUR NEW ONLINE MODEL

Destiny College International is working hard to birth a new model of leadership development

and training by providing online courses and satellite campuses. Business leaders can offer

leadership development courses from the home office.

Churches are returning to a biblical model of developing and training their own leaders.

Rather than “extract” leaders from their positions and send them away into a total academic

context and community, students are left “intact” at the local level for their training. Thus,

DESTINY COLLEGE ONLINE and Destiny College Satellite School allows you to develop and

grow as a leader where you are already planted.

ACADEMIC CAREER PATHS

Our curriculum philosophy and direction was birthed out of the heart of Founder, Keith

Johnson, Ph.D., to help leaders discover, pursue, and fulfil their DESTINY. Our curriculum

serves as a systematic approach to empowering students to overcome the feeling of

powerlessness that rob so many of their destiny—God’s desire for them.

The curriculum is divided into five degree programs, and students are rewarded a certificate

or degree based on completing the total credit hours needed for each level of achievement.

Undergraduate degrees do not have to be taken in a specified order.

Ministry Certificate 30 Credit Hours

Associates in Biblical Studies 60 Credit Hours

Advanced Diploma in Biblical Studies 90 Credit Hours

Bachelors of Biblical Studies 120 Credit Hours

Masters of Christian Leadership 165 Credit Hours

Doctorate of Ministry 210 Credit Hours

Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) 255 Credit Hours

Only through faithful class attendance can the essential elements of a Bible college be fulfilled,

i.e., information, impartation, and transformation. These are only achieved through

participation and interaction.

STUDENT PRIVACY ACT

As part of the college administration, confidential information must be properly handled. The

Student Privacy Act governs the access to and the release of student records.



17 | P a g e

Student records are those records, files, documents, and other materials that contain

information directly related to the student and are maintained by a school or a person acting

on behalf of the institution.

Interpretation of the Student Privacy Act is a difficult task. At times, DESTINY COLLEGE

INTERNATIONAL may seem overly cautious in our interpretation; however, when we weigh

being overly cautious against possible consequences, we feel the risk of being cautious is

acceptable.

THE STUDENT PRIVACY ACT STATES:

The student has the right to inspect, review and challenge the content of his/her education records.

The student alone has the right to access and release of his/her records. Access or release of records can be made to someone other than the student only by a release signed by the student.

The student has the right to refuse the release of personal information by the school.

The school is authorized by law to release “Directory Information.” “Directory Information” for each student includes the following information:

Student Name Local Telephone Number

Local Address Permanent Home Address

Credit Hours Enrolment Dates and Times of Attendance

Major Program of Study Degrees or Awards Earned

By law, the student may petition the school to withhold directory information. Once

petitioned, the school may not release such information.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Written exams and assignments must be completed for each module.

Students will be expected to supply their own materials for note taking.

Students are responsible for purchasing textbooks from the Bookstore or form their own sources for required reading.

Students are responsible for purchasing any supplemental materials that might be needed exclusively for each course.

Students will be required to spend “lab time” fulfilling a ministry assignment on a weekly basis.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

Destiny College International seeks to serve the Kingdom of God by offering educational

opportunities to Christians of various denominational backgrounds. However, the college

adheres to the following:



21 | P a g e

ARTICLES OF FAITH:

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God.

All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

(2 Timothy 3:16 KJV)

*

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only,

but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

(1 John 5:4-6 KJV)

*

We believe 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, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule.

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:16 KJV)

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to

him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

(1 Peter 2:21-24 KJV)

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that

prophesieth edifieth the church. (1 Corinthians 14:3-4 KJV)

We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith

in the precious blood of Christ.

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the

adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant,

but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:4-7 KJV)



22 | P a g e

We believe that deliverance from sin, sickness, and poverty is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the

blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us

[our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9 KJV)

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

(Isaiah 53:4 KJV)

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

(1 Peter 2:24 KJV)

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick:

(Matthew 8:16 KJV)
