Not familiar with the poirpose institute but they and dolphins have always fascinated me. Before we had to abort our trip to Hawaii in 2005 I had set it up for my wife to have a dolphon "encounter" where she could pet and swim with one.

I petted one in the Carribbean. It was fun. :)

Now back to the regularly scheduled discussion. ;)

I posted the website.

I am looking seriously at it at this time.

esther i hope you enjoy purpose institute, i think it is a good program, our new ministers and others need good solid bible teaching, i also hope they put in a good dose of heart, and spirit, men and women of god need bible knowledge but also a heart and spirit to love and care for gods people, dt

I don't know if any on here have ever taken any of the courses. If so, I would be interested in their response.

Thanks.

Not sure about acredidation . . . but they're a "UPCI Approved Bible Institute."


After further review of the website . . . the FAQ page has this:

Quote:

Is the school accredited?

Purpose Institute which is headquartered in Canton, Ohio, operates under the Ohio Revised Code – Board of Regents, TITLE XXXIII EDUCATION - LIBRARIES CHAPTER 1713 EDUCATIONAL CORPORATIONS § 1713.02. Certificate of authorization. This code gives Purpose Institute the authorization to operate in any state of the United States as a religious college. However, Purpose Institute has not yet applied to become a nationally accredited college.

After further review of the website . . . the FAQ page has this:

They are "approved" by the UPCI but not "endorsed" as the Bible Colleges are. As a rule that means the credits would not transfer to some or all of the UPCI colleges. For most folks that is probably immaterial anyway.
