College
What is our Mission?
It is our aim to provide quality education to enrich Christian
living, enhance practical service, and equip for ministerial placement.
Calvary Christian College (CCC) affirms that every Christian is
a minister. The academic program is designed to enable believers
to discover, develop, and deploy their spiritual gifts. CCC provides
scholarly teaching, Spirit-filled mentoring, and hands-on internship
to promote in students a solid grip on sound doctrine, a visionary
sense of multi-faceted ministry, and a balanced lifestyle of Christian
maturity.
The degree programs of CCC are solely for religious vocations.
Why Should I Enroll?
A degree from CCC will give a student the personal satisfaction
of completing a formal higher-education program, the dignity of

May All Christians Enroll?
CCC specializes in educating, not indoctrinating. CCC is a non-denominational,
independent college. The basic and essential doctrines of Christianity

What is the authorization status of CCC?
Calvary Christian College satisfies all of the criteria for the
status of a religious degree-granting institution as set forth in
Section 11-202 of the Education Article. CCC is exempt by the State
of Maryland from accreditation and is not licensed by the State
or Federal Government. CCC is not on the U.S. Department of Education
list. CCC is a legitimate College with legal allowance from the
Government to operate as a Bible College.
Explanation Regarding Accreditation, Transferability, and Recognition
CCC offers degree programs solely for religious vocations and is
not required to have traditional accreditation. The separation of
church and state is very important for Bible colleges to exercise
freedom in ministry and teaching.
Most religious ministries and employers in the private sector do
recognize religious degrees. However, under the Constitution of
the United States, no one can be forced to hire anyone they choose
not to employ. Some vocations require specialized skills and training
and demand education at specified schools. It would be wise to consult
in advance with the employers of desired vocations to determine
what is required for being hired. Generally, a Bachelor’s
degree of any nature will increase a person’s marketability
for sacred or secular work, because that degree represents the perseverance
of a formal education.
Degrees earned at CCC may transfer to other colleges, but it is
important to realize that all colleges and universities, whether
accredited or not, including CCC, reserve their sovereign right
to determine what credits or degrees they will transfer into their
institution. In this respect, accreditation never means automatic
transfer of credits to any institution. Any inquiring student can
contact other schools to determine if CCC credits would be received
as transfer.
CCC is a member of the Council of Private Colleges of America.
This is an agency that inspects our campus and files and assures
the public of quality. The CPCA has a web-site that states their
standards: www.CPCAmerica.org. CCC is in compliance with all of
the high standards of this organization.
It is incumbent upon prospective students to prayerfully consider
where God would have them attend college.
