Special Instructions for International Students

Once an international student has been admitted to California Christian College, he or she needs to obtain an F-1 student visa to enter the United States. California Christian College is not an agent that issues Visas, but the school will issue an I-20 to the student once the student is admitted and has made a deposit on his or her account of no less than the estimated total tuition and fees for the first year. CCC verifies student enrollment with duly authorized officials of the Federal, State, and Local governments of the United States of America. Once California Christian College issues the student an I-20, CCC is not responsible for that student financially, legally, or otherwise. All applications made toward a student’s Visa/Immigrant status are the student’s personal responsibility.

Core Values

California Christian College exists to glorify God, to extend His Kingdom, to serve people, and to impact the world. To those ends, the College community strives to exceed the expectations of its students, staff, and constituency in all endeavors. These core values guide the College’s direction and decisions:

Lordship of Jesus Christ: California Christian College is based on the belief in the Triune God and that Jesus Christ alone is the Revelation of God in human form, the sole Redeemer of lost humanity, the head of the church, and the Controller of all creation.

Centrality of Scripture: The canon of historic Protestant Christianity is recognized as divinely inspired Scripture and provides the foundation for the College’s faith and practice. As the locus of ultimate truth in written form, the Bible is the center of all curricula at the College, providing an integration point for all disciplines.

Love for God and Others: As a community, California Christian College is irrevocably committed to love God and to love others. Loving God captures the very heart of the Christian faith. Loving others means recognizing every person as created in God’s image and, therefore, of inestimable worth. It means valuing individuals of all cultures and ethnicities, affirming their worth before God, recognizing their unique gifts, and engaging in mutual affirmation, edification, and growth.

Commitment to Excellence: California Christian College promotes integrity and excellence in all endeavors, from academic pursuits to professional demeanor to spiritual passion. This commitment includes discerning and fully developing the specific gifts God instills in each individual. It also assumes that the Christian faith calls every believer to the pursuit of excellence in all areas of life.

Priority of Service: California Christian College values service and sacrifice above self-promotion and self-advancement. This priority mirrors the model of Jesus Himself and captures the overriding mandate of the Bible.

Evangelical Heritage: California Christian College is a Free Will Baptist institution but seeks to avoid sectarianism by emphasizing the major tenets of historic Protestant Christianity. The College is committed to its evangelical heritage, strives to serve everyone with a similar theological perspective, and stresses charity toward all.
