Simply stated, the mission of Channel Islands Bible College and Seminary is, "To equip the saints for the work of the ministry." CIBCS nurtures the development of the believer in the principles of spiritual growth, in a Christian environment, in order for the believer to become equipped for his or her life's work.

This equipping is accomplished through:

• The teaching of the Word of God (especially as written in the original languages)
• The teaching of related subjects from a Biblical perspective
• The teaching of character building principles
• The teaching of principles and techniques of ministry and leadership
• The teaching of skills through hands-on practical experience

This equipping is provided on a Grace-Basis with no registration or tuition fees being charged in order to make the training available to all who desire it regardless of their financial ability. Support for the school comes from those who have both the desire and the ability to give.
