As an
independent, educational ministry, Brewer Christian College is
thoroughly Biblical in its philosophy of education. We affirm
the Divine inspiration,
truthfulness, and authority of both the Old and New Testament
scriptures, in their entirety, and the only written Word of God,
without error
in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of life,
faith, and practice. We also
affirm the power of God’s word to accomplish His purpose of salvation.
The message of the Bible is addressed to all mankind, for God’s
revelation in Christ and in Scripture is unchangeable.
Through it, the Holy Spirit still speaks today.
He illuminates the minds of God’s people in every culture to
preserve its truth freshly through their own eyes.
Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, which is to say
He is Himself very God. He
took upon Himself our nature, being conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the
sins of the world. He
arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified.
He ascended into heaven in that body glorified, where He
is now, our interceding High Priest.
If
the school were to be summarized in just one word, what would
it be?
Brewer Christian College is all about "relationships".
Brewer Christian College is grounded in the covenant relationship
that we have in Christ and
built through personal relationships cultivated by The Word of God. Every student,
staff and faculty member is an important part of our community; we want to
invite you to join the family.
What
does "The Kaleo Institute" stand for?
Kaleo is the English transliteration of the Greek word for "calling".
As Christians we are all called to be ministers of the Gospel of
Jesus. Jesus tells His disciples, in what has become known as "The
Great Commandment", to "herefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you." At The Kaleo Institute at Brewer Christian
College our mission is "to provide quality, Biblically based
academic programs and one on one mentoring to prepare and equip Christian
ministers, professionals, and laypersons, for their religious and
professional lives." In other words, The Kaleo Institute at
BCC is designed to help prepare you for your calling.
Why
the name "Brewer Christian College"?
Brewer Christian College was built and named with the central theme of family,
represented by both flesh and blood and in the Kingdom of God. Founded by Drs. Kenneth and Mary
Jane Brewer alongside their son Chris, the school
has been built as a monument to what God can do when a family that has chosen
to serve the Lord is faithful to His calling. Faculty and staff are
not only united in the mission of providing quality, Biblically based academic
programs, but are bonded together as brothers and sisters in the family of
God. So who is the school named after ...family, a family that we would be
honored to have you become a part of.
What
about academics?
Brewer Christian College academics are about life transformation, not simply
information transferal. Every class is challenging, when you are enrolled as
a student you will work hard. The difference is that each of our courses is
designed to be immediately applicable to your current ministry and prepare
you for ministry opportunities to come. Even the general studies requirements
are grounded in the concept that we are preparing you to write speak and even
do math for ministry!
Does
Brewer Christian College have a campus?
Although
The Kaleo Institute at Brewer Christian College (BCC) is
an online school and our “campus” is located
at www.breweronline.org.
The majority of our teachers teach online from private homes
and churches around the country.
But the school's physical headquarters are located in Jacksonville,
Florida. BCC also has a teaching and learning center with a
modest library collection that overlooks beautiful Lake Howell
in Casselberry, Florida, a suburb of Orlando. The Casselberry
facility consists of two large houses that were purchased and
heavily transformed into classrooms, a meeting hall, offices
and cooking facilities for weekend “intensives”
that are planned throughout the year. The main administrative
office,
located
about ten minutes from the Jacksonville International Airport,
was designed and built in 2004 as an extension of the president's
home. A large standalone state of the art audio/video recording
and editing studio*, where the majority of our online content
is created, was built into the vice president's home at the
same time. The current facilities provide The Kaleo Institute
at Brewer Christian College with the ability to have an incredible
facility and location for students to gather for teaching,
yearly graduation ceremonies, workshops and worship just outside
of
Orlando (about
a half hour from the theme parks) and provide cost effective
work and document storage facilities for the core administrative
staff in Jacksonville.
Address of the teaching and learning center:
1116 Semoran Boulevard, Casselberry, Florida 32793-4207
