Our Doctrinal Position and Philosophy

Philosophy of Education

Eagle Christian College is established to equip ones to be mature and productive members of Christ’s body. As each one becomes aware of who he/she is in Christ, who Christ is within him/her, and how to live daily in dependence upon Him, he becomes a channel for the glory of God — shining forth in a world of darkness. Thus, he serves to meet the needs of people at God’s bidding.

We also believe in relational Christianity. This includes loving God and loving people. To better love God and people, we continually build small groups called Life Groups or teams. Being on a working team is very important.

We are also committed to the concept of lifelong learning. Because our relationship with the living God is not stagnant but ever growing and changing, we are delighted to continue to learn of Him, to be taught by His Spirit and by the teachers He has anointed and appointed in His Church to lead us toward maturity. In addition to our personal knowledge of God increasing daily, we believe the Spirit is restoring and revealing to the Church revelation knowledge of Himself and His will in His time. If we are to remain in flow with all the Father is doing, we must be continually learning and growing. An equipping school in the local church is an ideal place to be to stay in tune with what the Spirit is saying to the church. Eagle Christian College (briefly referred to as Eagle or ECC) is an independent equipping ministry of Marion Christian Center, a local church in Marion, Ohio, USA. Our mission is to equip God’s people to be community changers by being strong local church members who touch their community. Eagle curriculum is offered through various related affiliations such as Christian International School of Theology and many other related equipping schools through the Eagle-Lion Institute. Your local church could affiliate. The Equipping Manual of the Eagle-Lion Institute is available for $10 plus shipping and gives much information on starting your own related equipping school.

Eagle is a non-academic equipping school. We are not related to the Ohio Board of Regents as a degree granting institution. Please contact your ordaining institution for transfer and acceptance information. Eagle is a member in good standing of ACEA (the Apostolic Council for Educational Accountability) to provide accountability and quality control.

Eagle uses many methods or models of equipping. Our desire to help the student confront their topic of study (the Hebrew word for teaching this way is Lamad). Therefore we vary our methods of teaching and study to better confront truth in Jesus.

Eagle requires faithfulness. We are non-academic yet we ask much of our students in effort and flexibility. Please talk with the faculty or administrators if you are encountering difficulties in any way in succeeding. We will help you!

The Eagle faculty are not just people of theory. They are practicing what they are preaching. They are living examples of the realities they teach. They are special people and we are proud of them. We believe you will enjoy and be blessed by each of them. Their desire is to bless you and yours!

There are various student policies. In order to be admitted to any of the majors, please complete the application. This is not based on a high school diploma but on the ability to do the work. 95% of people can succeed. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in our educational programs, activities or hiring practices. An active student is one who completes at least one course per year.
