Christ For The Nations Institute exists for the purpose of providing biblical training for Christian discipleship and leadership. CFNI is a charismatic Bible school with fundamental roots in Biblical studies and evangelical ministry. Spiritual education in these Christian traditions involves not only intensive Bible study under a proficient faculty but also practical ministry experience for each student, along with the development of sound discipline in the student’s personal life. For the accomplishment of this last goal, the institute requires that each student, as a condition of his/her admission, agrees to the following for the entire time of his/her enrollment.
- To be familiar with and abide by the requirements published in the CFNI Student Handbook, and such amendments as may be established from time-to-time, by announcement or otherwise.
- To live in a spirit of good campus citizenship, showing consideration and respect for the personal freedoms and rights of others.
- To observe with special care the following standards of personal behavior, whether or not the student agrees with the Institute as to the relationship of these things to a consecrated Christian life:
- To refrain from the use or possession of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, narcotics and hallucinogenic drugs, and from gambling and social dancing.
- To exercise mature, Christian judgment in regard to reading matter, movies and other forms of entertainment taking into consideration the standards of the Scriptures: “Therefore, ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.’ Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (2 Cor. 6:17, 7:1).
- To endeavor to help others abide by the Institute’s objectives and standards:
- To neither incite nor aid another in violating the standards.
- To encourage adherence to the standards by word and example.
- To tell another about his/her observed fault in the biblical fashion. The person at fault, then, has a responsibility to correct his/her behavior (Matt. 18:15-17). If the person persists in disregarding the standards, it becomes the moral obligation of the students and faculty to report the violations to the appropriate authorities.
Note: These standards apply not only to enrolled full-time students but also to all other persons residing on campus or connected with the institute, including members of the student’s families, as well as all staff.
