MISSION

Our mission is to provide spiritual oversight to individuals, students, para-churches, ministries, and churches both throughout the United States and internationally.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error in its original manuscripts, and it holds supreme authority in matters of faith and conduct.
We aim to teach, preach, instruct, motivate, and inspire all who enter our biblical institute of higher learning to commit to these principles throughout their education.
In addition to the above, we strive to provide a solid foundation of the Word of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Our mission includes increasing knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures for daily application and assisting individuals in developing a godly mindset to support everyone we encounter.
We encourage everyone to search the Scriptures for themselves to achieve a prosperous lifestyle. We also seek to impart knowledge of the Five-Fold Ministry, as described in Ephesians 4:11-16, and demonstrate how, when properly established, such fosters unity and creates a body of believers dedicated to cultivating an atmosphere of praise and worship to God our Father. At ARIZE Institute of the Five-Fold Ministry and Bible College, we are committed to providing theological education in the Five-Fold Ministry and biblical studies, grounded in the principles of the Holy Bible.
Our goal is to prepare those whom Christ has called as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for service in churches, Christian ministries, and the community.
Our educational programs are designed to enhance students' knowledge while maintaining a diverse student body, faculty, and staff. We express our commitment to students' overall development by promoting lifelong learning, scholarly inquiry, and service to others. Our programs and services foster growth and development in students, helping them appreciate cultural diversity and embody civic, social, and religious responsibility.
ARIZE follows an open-door admission policy, responding to each individual at their appropriate level of ability and development. ARIZE Institute of the Five-Fold Ministry is an interdenominational, interracial, and gender-inclusive community that exemplifies diversity as part of the Body of Christ.
Our online Zoom platform educational and service programs provide theological education and training to a constituency of mature, bi-vocational, and commuting students, aiming to enhance their skills, expand awareness, and improve their quality of life.
Finally, our mission is to provide a curriculum that prepares clergy and laity for various ministries, with a focus on Biblical studies, theology, general biblical education, and the unique roles within the Five-Fold Ministry as exemplified in the Holy Bible.

CORE VALUES

We value the authority of Scripture. We believe that the truth is absolute and that it is recorded in the Holy Scriptures. The sixty-six books of the Holy Bible are our authority. We teach and apply the Scripture in the Holy Bible and use it in our lives as individuals and as a complete institution. The authority of Scripture is our initial value.

It is what we trust to guide our students, affiliates, and faculty.

We value Jesus Christ as the Supreme Being because Jesus is the Lord of the Universe and our Savior. We are committed to knowing, worshiping, and following Him, who is our resurrected King, and we are equally committed to the supremacy of His purpose to disciple the world using His tools and individuals (those who are appointed by Him) as seen in Ephesians 4:11-16. Additionally, our curriculum, policies, and programs of study reflect the predominance of Jesus Christ.

We value educational integrity, and because we value that, we are committed to the authority of Scripture, all of which is to glorify Christ.

We value multi-ethnicity. No race is treated differently because all of mankind, according to Scripture, is made in God’s image. Because this is so, we serve a multi-ethnic community as a Bible college in Mebane, North Carolina, and prayerfully this community will grow, reach further, and move towards a culture of God-fearing believers that seek to experience through biblical education and biblical training the glory of sharing the "Good News" with others.

The Faculty, administration, and curriculum reflect our mutual commitments to Biblical integrity and multi-ethnicity.

The men and women who serve the ARIZE Institute of the Five-Fold Ministry and Bible College are proven in the crucible of ministry. Our degrees combine theory and practical experience in service, equipping graduates to effectively disciple others.

We value dependence on God through prayer and supplication. Our consistent prayers express our dependence on God and our belief that He responds to prayer and answers our needs in His timing. In our efforts to serve God, we choose also to depend upon Him to bring about change in us and for us as we pray.
