On the second day of the board meeting last week the board moved forward from the preliminary discussions of the first day. Every year the board reviews the mission statement of the school in order to determine if this is still the direction that God is leading us. This year it was especially important, because for the first time PIBC is no longer just a Bible college, with the addition of a seminary offering a graduate degree - Master of Arts in Religion. TRACS, our accrediting agency had already told us that we needed to consider changing our mission and our school name to reflect this widened mission.
Our administrative council and the executive committee of the board had been working for several months on the needed changes. After much reflection, prayer and discussion the board adopted the following vision statement which explains what we desire PIBC to be and mission statement which explains the main thing that we, as PIBC, desire to do......
PIBC exists to provide accessible, excellent, transformational Christian higher education and ministry training to the people of Micronesia, the Pacific islands, and to the ends of the earth. As such, our mission is to prepare men and women with a biblical worldview for leadership and service in life, work, and ministry in the global community and the church.
In future posts I will talk about the objectives the board adopted that explain how we plan to fulfill these vision and mission statements.

as a student, i really like this idea of expanding the learning on this campus and not only based on Bible. This will open up a lot to many young Micronesians. It will make a lot of changes and modifications on not only the classes but as well as the programs and life in campus. I want to say go for it. This is like the act of expanding the Gospel not only to the Jews but also the Gentiles (Metaphor).
