Our Doctrinal Statement

We believe that the Bible is the authoritative inspired Word of God, and that it was recorded by holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

We believe there is but one true and living God, who reveals Himself to men in the persons of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, wise, good, holy, just, loving, self-existent, eternal, and the creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God born of a virgin; His sacrificial death to redeem mankind; His resurrection and ascension; and His second coming in power and glory to rule and reign. He is the head of His church, their Savior, and their Lord.

We believe that there is no other way for salvation than by faith in the shed blood of Jesus. That man was made in the image of God, and is a free moral being who must accept this salvation by faith.

We believe in the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit who is an active participant in our lives and ministry, and empowers us for fruitful service, teaches us truth, guides us, and enables us to live holy lives.

We believe in the resurrection of the living and the dead, either to eternal life and reconciliation with God or eternal damnation and separation from God.

We believe the church is called to proclaim the gospel to an unbelieving world and prepare believers for the Lord, through the power of His Name and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that believers should walk in love and endeavor to keep unity and peace in the body of Christ. True love and relationship are foundational to this ministry, first with our Creator and then with His people everywhere.

We believe that God has raised up this ministry to aid the existing church bodies to increase spiritually both in quality and quantity, and to bring unity in the community or the body of Christ.

Beginnings and History These teachings were born in Africa, out of a walk of faith, and a confirmed vision given by God in 1989. This school is His ministry and His vision to teach and ground as many people as possible in the knowledge of God’s Word. Joan Melrose, the founder was called to mission work in September of 1986. She worked in other parts of the world for two years before following her calling to Kenya Africa in 1988.

In Kenya she worked one year with an orphanage before being lead by the Holy Spirit to Bungoma, which is located in the Western part of Kenya. It was here that God confirmed

4

through many different ways and sources that He desired this school be started. In the fall of 1990 the first school was started in Malakisi, and thirteen students graduated in the spring of 1991. Currently there are many graduates from this college who are continuing on with their education in the Word of God and teaching others. The college originally started with a basic curriculum of many topics. Others topics were later added until it became a one-year diploma course. CLT was given permission to combine their basic course with the courses of Kenya Ministry Training Institute and became a college with enough credits to give bachelor degrees. The college was chartered in 1996 to give degrees under Shalom Bible College and Seminary. We were also given their correspondence courses and other courses from other institutions so that the graduates could continue on for their master’s and doctor’s degrees.

In the spring of 1996 God also took Joan back to the USA for a period of time and birthed the vision for expanding this ministry to other parts of the world as well as Kenya. The college was started in the USA and is now being taught in the state of Montana. This school is also continuing to expand to many parts of Kenya. In 2003 we also started a schools in Uganda. There is vision to take CLT to other countries as well (as God opens the doors).

Purpose

Christian Life Teachings is an Interdenominational Bible College founded to teach foundational truths and ground peoples everywhere in these Biblical truths. Our desire is to take these foundational teachings to all people who desire to know and be richly grounded in the Word of God. We desire to obey the Word and go to the people, as Christ commanded in Matthew 28:19-20. We are an established campus school, but also offer correspondence courses.

Another desire of this ministry is to bring unity in the Body of Christ. We believe the Bible teaches that we are all one body, and as all work together in love, we extend the body of Christ around the world. We believe that regardless of our denomination, race, nationality, tribe, language, intelligence, culture, position, wealth, etc., that we are all a part of the body of Christ. That we are all equal in the eyes of our God, and that we all have a purpose and a calling. Ours is to equip and encourage people to fulfill that purpose or that calling in their lives. We desire that men and women would not be tossed by every wind of doctrine, but will know these Biblical truths, walk in them, and disciple others in these truths. Our goal is to prepare a people for the LORD.
