Coastland University to commence class January of 2003!

Coastland University in Southern California will begin officially on January 27, 2003. They provide affordable Christian education and offer Associate through Master degrees.

Coastland Christian Bible College & University is a great place to get an education.

Our learning environment cultivates an aptitude for ministry, discovering your gifts, and independent inquiry. Our University is filled with grace and discipleship - and provides many opportunities to share your call with others. We believe that the development of these attributes motivates students to fulfill their personal, ministerial, and academic goals.

Most importantly, our focus is teaching the Word of God and lifting up the name of Jesus Christ. We are compelled to equip students to fulfill the great commission.

Ministry is not a future goal, it is a minute by minute call - obey the call!

It is our mission to educate and disciple individuals who are called into ministry or who want to study the Word of God in a way to understand the deep truths contained there in. We desire to this in a way that all students can afford to attend Coastland.

Further, our campus is a grace filled and loving environment where spiritual growth is more important that academic rhetoric. We are called to help you find out what God is calling you to do and assist you on your path to fulfill that call.

A word from our President

"My philosophy of Christian Education? Well, it is not based upon individualism without regard of others, intellectualism as an end in itself, technology as the apex of human achievement, humanistic ideals or evolutionary thought as reasons for existence (which degrades individuals to simple animals rather than beings created in the image of God). It is not modernism or even postmodernism - it is not relativism or humanism - and its agenda does not fit into the 'New World Order' apriori which many educators are basing their teaching on today.

Christian Education is based upon sound Biblical truths and develops the whole person. It utilizes the three methods we all use to acquire knowledge and grow in wisdom and character - those being; our reason, our senses, and our beliefs or faith. Christian Education brings this trinity of discovery into sync and causes the student to be nurtured into maturity of faith built upon rational knowledge in an interactive and experiential environment. Ultimately, Christian Education is based on reverence for God which is the beginning of wisdom, loyalty to the standards of the Christian faith, and love for God and others. This naturally leads to a deeper understanding of spiritual laws and theological concepts as well as physical laws. Language, thought, mathematics, science, human dynamics, and even world history all point to a divine creator and absolute truth. My Philosophy of Christian Education can be summarized as a dynamic process that reconciles the students to God by helping them understand His creation, by the power of the Holy Spirit and the example of our Master and Teacher, Jesus Christ.

I hope and pray that you stop whatever you are doing, pray, and listen for God to direct you. If you end up enrolling in Calvary Chapel Bible College for one class or a full load, I can assure you that you will be nurtured, in the love of Christ, taught sound doctrine from the Bible, and encouraged to step out in faith and do what God is calling you to do. I'm at your service in Christ,
