President’s Welcome

N

ever before have I felt that Crown College was more needed than it is at this time. We are training men and women to take a strong, compassionate stand for the Lord. We need the truth on fire, lifted up in love! Crown College of the Bible truly is “for such a time as this.”

We want our students to know that the call of God on their lives is a call to obey Christ.

We want our students to understand that the Christian life is a holy life and that the Word of God teaches that we should be separated unto the Lord and separated from the world.

We want our students trained in the heart of a growing independent Baptist church that has a pioneering spirit. We want our students to understand and believe that our independent Baptist position is biblical.

We want our students to be trained in the matter of personal soul winning and bringing people to Jesus Christ.

We want our students to develop a strong conviction that the field is the world and that God’s plan is to go into all the world with the message of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We want our students to be taught that the New Testament pattern for missions is winning souls to Christ and establishing New Testament churches.

We want our students, when teaching and preaching to the English speaking world, to teach and preach from the King James Version of the Bible.

9 We want our students to know that our goal is to develop the mind of Christ and to continue to follow Him. We want our students to have respect and appreciation for men and women of the past who have served the Lord faithfully and have lived holy lives, handing down to us a great heritage.

We are training men and women to take a strong compassionate stand for the Lord.

We want our students to come to the place in their Christian maturity where they believe with deep conviction that the will of God settles everything else in life.

We want our students to be directed by the Holy Spirit and through the Word of God and godly counsel to make Christhonoring decisions.

We want our students to know that no two Christians have the same ability or the same opportunity, and that every Christian must meet Christ at the judgment seat with what he has done with his ability and opportunity.

We want our students to learn to walk with God each day and live a holy life. We want our students to enjoy serving the Lord.

May God raise a generation with a heart for Him. We want to be prepared to do our part in training them.

P.S. Our graduates are serving the Lord Jesus Christ in every state of the union and on every continent of the world. Please pray for them.

Spurgeon on the Bible college After C.H. Spurgeon founded his Pastors’ College in 1856, he compiled and published the following principle about what a Bible college should be.

1. Found a college into which men with an ordinary English education can be admitted without being degraded by comparison with graduates of secular universities.

2. Set before the men no ambition after scholarship for its own sake, but keep them to the one aim of being soul winners and edifiers of the saints.

3. Provide for poor men all necessaries (board, lodging, clothes, books, in fact, all they want).

4. Keep all this at the cheapest rate, that men may not form habits they cannot afterward live up to.

5. Affiliate the college to a large working church. Expect the men to be members, and during the first six months workers in the schools, etc.

6. Keep the period of study short, say two to three years. Never exceed this. Men who cannot do in that time, are no great good for rough work.

7. Give every man the first three or six months as probation, and constantly weed out the idle, vain, inefficient, or devoid of zeal.

8. Keep up the devotional spirit by giving half a day in the week for nothing but prayer. Begin each class with prayer.

9. Make them live in Christian families, and send round a Christian man constantly to inquire as to habits; domestic, moral, etc.

11 10. Make it known by your magazines and papers that men can be received and are wanted.

11. Do not embarrass the President with committees, etc.

12. Sort the men and do not make the studies in each case the same. Some never will learn classics; some will readily.

13. Have frequent sermonizings, discussions, etc., and encourage extempore speech.

14. Let a man who is really a good fellow stay till a place is ready for him; and let him come back, if, in his first church, he does not succeed. Keep him with you another term and let him try again.

15. With poor men keep up a system of traveling libraries to keep them in books and help them to go on educating themselves.

16. Let tutors be brethren to the men, not lords. The more familiar the intercourse, the deeper the love and the truer the respect.

17. Call in pastors, missionaries, and successful workers to talk to the men and tell them their experiences.

18. Keep the men to outdoor preaching and encourage them to be winning souls while students.

19. Make the physical sciences a great point; they furnish illustrations, relieve the severity of study, and enlarge the mind. Change of work is recreation.

20. Keep the church praying for them. Interest the church by meetings in which the men speak. Let beginners speak, and then in after months the people will remark their progress, and see the reality of their preparation.

21. Believe in Dr. Francis Wayland’s “Principles of the Baptists,� and practically carry them out.

22. The Lord, the Holy Spirit direct you, and bless you with His guidance; follow that guidance, and not my recommendations wherein they fail.

It is amazing how closely the work of Crown College follows these guidelines.

Though we are committed to academic excellence and we want every student to complete a degree, our pursuit is the Person of Jesus Christ.

“Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership” “Throughout the years I have had a motto, ‘Everything rises and falls on leadership.’ By leadership a work is started and by leadership that work continues. Dr. Sexton is a picture of dedication and obedience to the call of God. Through God’s leadership, He has built a school with high standards, strong convictions, and fervent evangelisitic spirit. “I am reminded of the words of Proverbs 29:18, ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.’ Crown College will result in souls coming to the Savior, churches established, and mission fields evangelized. “I congratulate Dr. Clarence Sexton for this great work! I pray that it might continue with great force and usefulness until the coming of the Lord.”

The History of Crown College of the Bible

In 1978, while serving with Dr. Lee Rob-

erson at the Highland Park Baptist Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Clarence Sexton first felt the definite direction of God to establish a place in the heart of a local New Testament church where young men and women could be trained to use their lives in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Dr. Sexton speaking at the groundbreaking for the first classroom building

God led Dr. Sexton to Paterson, New Jersey in 1980 to pastor the Madison Avenue Baptist Church. From an attendance of less than 100, God built a thriving church that averaged in excess of 800. In 8 years of ministry there, just outside New York City, the world literally came to their doorstep, with over 35 nationalities and 20 languages represented in the membership of the church. God used this period to confirm and deepen Dr. Sexton’s burden to train men and women to reach the world with the gospel.

After twenty years in the ministry, Dr. Sexton accepted the call to become pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Powell, The pastor and people stepped out by faith, constructing Tennessee in what is now called the Dolphus Price Adminstration August of 1988. building without a single student or faculty member.

18 On the same night the church voted to extend the call, they signaled their willingness to follow their new pastor by voting to establish the Bible college God had laid on his heart ten years previously.

For the next three years, the Lord prepared the church family for the birth of the college. With no students, no faculty, and no curriculum, a step of faith was taken as the first building was constructed.

On August 1, 1991, Crown College of the Bible opened its Opened in April 1997, the Curtis Hutson Center for Local Church Ministries, doors to 69 students from 14 provided classroom and auditorium space. different states. The student body now numbers over 900 students, representing almost every state and several foreign countries.

God has given us His favor with hundreds of pastors and parents who have sent their young people to train at Crown College of the Bible. Over 1,600 alumni are presently serving Christ throughout the U.S. and every continent of the world.

The unique thing about the college is its place in the heart of Temple Baptist Church. While attending Crown College of the Bible, students have the opportunity to be a vital part of a New Testament church where God is doing extraordinary things.

In the fall of 2006, Crown College United Kingdom was opened in England. In the fall of 2007, Crown Southwest was opened in conjunction with Norris Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.

Crown College of the Bible is a distinctive Baptist college continuing in “the heritage of the servants of the Lord.” May God use Crown College of the Bible in a great way “for such a time as this.”

“A Continuing Heritage” “Built upon the heritage of the independent Baptist movement, Crown College is a pacesetter in the education of young servants of God. Unwavering in its stand, unapologetic for its standards, and unrelenting in its fervency, there is a warmly contagious Christian spirit on the campus. I recommend it wholeheartedly and enthusiastically!”

Dr. Shelton Smith Editor, The Sword of the Lord Murfreesboro, TN

“In the Heart of a Local Church” “Thank you for starting Crown College. I am so thankful my four children have had such a wonderful place to be trained for the ministry.

There are three things that I especially appreciate about the school. First, Crown College is local church-based and the students observe an exciting local church in action.

Second, the student body is dedicated and serious about serving the Lord. Third, the spirit on campus is exciting and contagious. It is truly a place God is blessing in a special way.”

Dr. Jim Townsley Pastor, Central Baptist Church President, New England Baptist College Southington, CT

“Another Generation of Christ’s Servants” “The position and practice of Crown College are scripturally sound. Students are taught to love God’s Word and to find their place of service in His work in the world through the local church. They also learn to take the high road by giving God their best and discerning the finer points of biblical understanding.

“Crown College is being used of God to help train another generation of Christ’s servants. I praise the Lord for its influence upon my life and ministry. Truly, God is raising it up ‘for such a time as this.’”

Tim Cruse Pastor, Shining Light Baptist Church Monroe, NC

Statement of Faith The Scriptures We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Bible, “as it is in truth, the Word of

power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4; II Corinthians 13:14).

The Person and Work of Christ We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the

God...” (I Thessalonians 2:13). We believe in verbal, plenary inspiration in the original writings, and God’s preservation of His pure words to every generation (II Timothy 3:16, Psalms 12:6-8).

The Masoretic Text of the Old Testament and the Received Text of the New Testament (Textus Receptus) are those texts of the original languages we accept and use; the King James Version of the Bible is the only English version we accept and use. The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice.

The Godhead We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in

Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (John 1:1-2, 14; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; 7:14; Philippians 2:5-8; Galatians 4:4-5).

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His finished work on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Romans 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:3-5).

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ

24 ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9-10; Hebrews 9:24, 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2).

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Person who reproves the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, indwelling all believers and sealing them unto the day of redemption (John 16:8-11; II Corinthians 3:6; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13-14).

We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary. We believe that speaking in tongues was never the common or necessary sign of the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit and that ultimate deliverance of the body from sickness or death awaits the consummation of our salvation in the resurrection, though God frequently chooses to answer the prayer of believers for physical healing (II

Corinthians 12:12; I Corinthians 13:8; Hebrews 2:3-4; Mark 16:17-20; I Corinthians 1:22, 14:21-22).

Man We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man is totally depraved, and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12).

The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image and is mindful of him, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every individual possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love. (Psalm 8:4-9; Colossians 3:9-11).

The Way of Salvation We believe that the clear message of salvation is “repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21). We believe that salvation is “by grace” plus nothing minus nothing. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and

25 Saviour Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:810; John 1:12; I Peter 1:18-19) We believe that all the redeemed, once saved are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever.

We believe that eternal life is the present possession of every believer (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Corinthians 1:4-8; I Peter 1:4-5; Jude 1, 2).

The Church We believe that the New Testament church is a local assembly of baptized believers who have voluntarily joined themselves together to carry out the Great Commission. The Lord is doing His work in this world through local churches. The establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures (Acts 14:27; 20:17, 28-32; I Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11).We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control. Christ is the only head of the church (Acts 13:1-4, 15:19-31, 20:28; Romans 16:1, 4; I Corinthians 3:9,16; 5:4-7,13; I Peter 5:1-4).The Ordinances of the Church We recognize the ordinances of baptism by immersion in water and the

Lord’s Supper as a Scriptural means of testimony for local churches in this age (Matthew. 28:19-20; Acts 2:4142, 18:18; I Corinthians 11:23-26).

Biblical Separation We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord; and, that separation from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices and associations is commanded of God (II Timothy 3:1-5; Romans 12:1, 2, 14:13; I John 2:15-17; II John 9-11; II Corinthians 6:14-7:1).

The Return of Christ We believe the “Blessed Hope” of our Lord’s return is literal, personal, visible, imminent, premillennial, and pretribulational. Believers will be caught up with the Lord prior to the seven years of tribulation, and at the end of the tribulation, Christ will return with His saints to establish His thousand-year reign on the earth. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; I Thessalonians 1:10; Revelation 3:10; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:1116, 20:1-6; Psalm 89:3-4)

26

Our Eternal State We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28, 29, 11:25-26; Revelation 20:5-6, 12-13).We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul, and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; Revelation 20:4-6; II Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23, 3:21; I Thessalonians 4:16-17).

We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious misery until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgment, and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated,

“Biblical Allegiance and Excellence” “In a world where truth is routinely cast aside as quickly as last year’s fashion, it is refreshing to have a place of biblical allegiance and excellence like Crown College.

A place where, without apology, right doctrine is taught from the right Bible and preaching is still pre-eminent.

A place where music that prepares the heart to hear from God has not given way to swaying to the latest beat of the day. A place where the ‘old paths’ are sought and young people encouraged to follow them.

At Crown College, young people will be challenged to realize their full potential in the Lord and give themselves to win a lost world to Christ.

“Crown College is not seeking to market its brand of some new modern message or method but is seeking to teach the next generation of Christian workers to ‘earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.’”

but to suffer everlasting, conscious punishment (Luke 16:19-26; Matthew 25:41-46; II Thessalonians 1:7-9; Jude 6-7; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 20:11-15).

Visiting the Campus

K

noxville is located at the crossroads of America. Three of the nation’s most traveled interstates converge in Knoxville: Interstates 40, 75 and 81. This strategic location places over half of the nation’s population within a one-day drive of Knoxville.

Visitors are welcome to visit the college at any time; however, we recommend prospective students and their families visit at a time when they can observe classes and attend the college chapel service.

The most unique quality of Crown College of the Bible is its place in the heart of Temple Baptist Church; therefore, no visit to campus is complete without attending one of the

services of the church. Please make plans to be our guest on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, or Wednesday evening.

The CrossRoads of America

Knoxville’s roots run deep, serving as the heart of the region since it was founded in 1791. The best of its Appalachian heritage remains today—a strong work ethic, a familycentered community, and a deep love for the natural beauty enveloping the region.

29 Surrounded by three national parks and bordered by seven lakes, Knoxville exudes a charm all its own. This lush, green valley steeped in 200 years of tradition and history is conveniently located in eastern Tennessee, with a number of major arteries connecting Knoxville to other metropolitan areas.

The town’s beginning dates back to when James White built his farm on the banks of the Tennessee River in 1786. Long a favorite stopping point for courageous pioneers passing through, the area grew to become a city and eventually the first state capital.

Today, Knoxville has developed

into a national research center thanks to breakthroughs in electronics and space age technologies at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee. The area continues to grow and flourish, and Knoxville is even developing its waterfront to include a new park, fine restaurants, festive shopping, riverfront condos, and the Gateway Regional Visitor Center. The low crime rate of Knox County is the envy of many large metropolitan centers.

A metropolitan population of almost 750,000, a vibrant regional economy, the advantages of urban life along with the beautiful rural setting has consistently ranked Knoxville as one of America’s most livable cities year after year.

Climate

Knoxville lies sheltered in the Tennessee Valley between the

30 Beautiful Cades’ Cove is less than an hour from campus

Cumberland Plateau and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The surrounding terrain combined with the southern latitude helps create a diverse climate with four distinct though mild seasons. Spring arrives early and stays late, allowing plenty of time to enjoy Tennessee’s glorious dogwoods and azaleas. On warm April days you can wander along some of the 500 miles of trails alive with blossoming trees and shrubs. In summer, the woodlands are green and inviting, with temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s.

In the fall of the year, the foothills light up in brilliant autumn hues, their famous colors bringing visitors from literally all over the

world. Jackets are seldom needed except in the evenings.

Although temperatures can drop to 30 degrees on January nights, winters are generally brief and mild with only a sprinkling of snow. Those in search of snow can find it nearby in the Great Smoky Mountains.

“They Still Stand for the Old-Time Religion” “I recommend Crown College in Powell, Tennessee. It is an outstanding Christian college, has excellent biblical standards, and uses only the King James Version of the Bible. We have had several young people attend Crown, and have never had a Crown student who did not have good standards and convictions. When they graduate from Crown, I thank God that they still stand for the ‘old-time religion.’”

What Financial aid Is available to me?

Crown College of the Bible strives to aid every student to receive the training he needs. It is our desire that no student be kept from pursuing God’s call to prepare due to financial obstacles.

Some of the most vital lessons you will ever learn in trusting the Lord are taught in the school of finances. You must learn to depend on the Lord alone to meet your needs. Work hard, pray continually, and trust Him. He is willing and able to meet the needs of those who delight in His will. God will not fail you.

If God is leading you to prepare at Crown College of the Bible, do not let finances keep you from following His will for your life. Where God leads, He will provide.

Crown College of the Bible accepts no federal funding of any kind. All scholarship benefits will be applied to a student’s tuition for the regular semesters only and are not available for interim sessions. Scholarships are available to full-time students only. A student may receive no more than two types of Crown College of the Bible financial aid concurrently. Students must maintain a 2.5 grade-point average to remain eligible for scholarships.

Crown Employment Scholarship Many areas of the ministry at Temple Baptist Church and Crown College of the Bible provide opportunities for dormitory students to have employment through our Crown Employment program, enabling them to pay much of their tuition costs. Many students would not be able to finish their education without the assistance of this program.

Dormitory students who are able to

52 prove financial need or are qualified for specialized positions may apply for Crown Employment Scholarship, which is paid on a minimum-wage basis. All Scholarship wages are directly applied to a student’s tuition account.

The Student Employment program is administered in hourly increments ranging from 10 to 20 hours per week. The college cannot guarantee employment for all applicants nor can it guarantee that the student will earn the stated amount each month.

Students receiving either the Scholarship for Children of Pastors and Missionaries, or the Scholarship for Children of FullTime Christian Workers may receive no more than 15 hours work per week in the Student Employment program.

Any dormitory student desiring to be considered for the Student Employment program must complete the Student Employment Application and return it with his completed application.

Academic Information Academic Load The normal course load to complete the bachelor degree in four years is 16 credit hours per semester.

A student that registers for 12 to 18 credit hours per semester is considered to be a full-time student.

No student may register for more than 18 credit hours per semester, excluding credits for choir or orchestra, without permission from the Academic Dean.

Grading System Academic achievement in each course is represented by the following grading system. Academic achievement is summarized by the cumulative grade point average (GPA). The GPA is computed as an average of grade points weighted by credit hours. All grades for courses that have been repeated are used in computing the GPA, except that only one failing grade is used per course. Grades and credits for transfer courses are not used in computing the GPA. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required to receive an

54 undergraduate degree. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required to receive a graduate or seminary degree.

Academic Restriction and Probation To graduate, a student must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0. The following academic restric-

tion and probation policies will assist the student in achieving this goal.

Academic Restriction Level 1 - If a student’s GPA for one semester is less than 2.0, then the student will be restricted to a maximum course load for the following semester of 15 credit hours.

Academic Restriction Level 2 - If a student’s GPA for each of the two, previous, consecutive semesters is less than 2.0, then the student will be restricted to a maximum course load for the following semester of 12 credit hours.

Academic Probation Level 1 - If, after completing at least three semesters, a student’s cumulative GPA is less than 2.0, then the student will be restricted to a maximum course load for the following semester of 12 credit hours and be assigned a target GPA for that semester.

The target GPA is calculated as the minimum GPA that will ensure that the student will achieve the cumulative GPA required for graduation.

Academic Probation Level 2 - If a student does not meet or exceed their target GPA for AP1 or AP2, then, at the discretion of the college administration, the student’s enrollment may be suspended for one semester. If the student is allowed to continue enrollment, then the student will be restricted to a maximum course load for the following semester of 12 credit hours and be assigned a target GPA for that semester.

“A Biblical Emphasis” “It was my privilege to learn of Dr. Sexton’s burden and vision to train young people for ministry in independent Baptist churches and worldwide evangelism long before there was a Crown College.

“From its inception, Crown College has been characterized by a strong biblical emphasis, excellence in every area of operation, and a great zeal for souls both at home and around the world. It has been a personal joy and privilege of mine to spend several days each year on the campus. I am always amazed and thrilled at what I see, hear, and feel. Those who have the privilege of studying and being trained at Crown College are blessed indeed. They will not only hear what is right, but will see from their instructors, the staff, and from Temple Baptist Church what is right.”

Faculty advisors Each incoming student is assigned to a faculty member who will serve as an academic advisor throughout the student’s undergraduate studies at Crown. During each semester’s orientation session, the faculty advisors will meet with their students as a group to answer questions and get acquainted with them.

Transfer of credit Course credits with a minimum grade of “C-” earned at other institutions are eligible for transfer to a degree program to the extent that the courses are comparable to Crown College’s stated requirements. An official transcript from the

institution attended, showing satisfactory course completion, is required. Courses taken at Bible institutes, etc. are subject to review.

Transfer students must complete their last 30 hours in residence before graduation.

No more than 12 credits from approved correspondence schools will be accepted from any student toward their degree.

For reasons of doctrinal distinctiveness or emphasis, certain courses must be taken exclusively at Crown College, although the student may have completed a similar course with a passing grade elsewhere. A list of such courses is available from the Registrar.

All questions regarding the transfer of credits should be directed to the Academic Dean.

Course availability The course schedule of the college is designed to accomodate the student desiring to finish an undergraduate or graduate program of study. Crown College cannot assume the responsibility to customize the course schedule for students who do not follow the prescribed course of study.

The college reserves the right to cancel any course that does not have sufficient enrollment to warrant the offering of that particular course.

“A Wellspring of Godly Wisdom” “Several times throughout the book of Proverbs, we find the admonitions ‘in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. We all need the guidance of the Lord’s wisdom. Often He uses the godly counsel of others to help us find His way.

“My wife and I prayed from the time of our children’s births that they would come to know the Lord and to follow Him with all their hearts. How thankful we are for the godly counsel, biblical teaching, and wise instruction given to our young people at Crown College. Crown is a safe haven, a hedge of protection, and a wellspring of godly wisdom guiding our young ones in the ‘old paths’ of the Lord.”

“The Spirit of Christ is Everywhere” “For a Christian young person, choosing the right college is a most important decision.

There are tangibles and intangibles in such a choice, things seen and things unseen. People mold other people. The moment you step on Crown’s campus you are conscious that God is at work here. The leaders are wholesome and clean. The students’ appearance is what you should expect of Christians. Even the grounds are impressively clean and groomed.

“You sense the spirit of Christ everywhere, in the dorms, the hallways, the classrooms, the auditorium. The music, the teaching, the pulpit all reassure you that this is the good place the Lord has for you.”

Dr. Bob Bevington Pastor, Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle Knoxville, TN

“An Anchor Institution” “Crown College is one of the ‘anchor’ institutions of the fundamental, independent Baptist movement. It is academically sound with a well-trained faculty. It is spiritually sound, being a ministry of Temple Baptist Church and its pastor and president.”

Dr. Richard Dion Pastor, Fairview Baptist Church President, Mountain State Baptist College Great Falls, MT

International Language Navigators

Director: Pollie Deeringer

pollie.deeringer@thecrowncollege.com Programs Offered

• Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (T.E.S.O.L.) Certification • Phonetic Reading Instruction Certification • Foreign Languages through Rosetta Stone

92 International Language Navigators is a language school on the campus of Crown College that provides training and certification in the following language related fields: TESOL (Teaching English to Speaker of Other Languages), Phonetic Reading Instruction, American Sign Language Interpreting, and twenty-three Foreign Languages. ILN’s purpose is to provide linguistic tools to equip Christians to reach the lost here in America and around the world.

Internationally Recognized Certification International Language Navigators has been approved as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) to certify the graduates of its programs. This approval and certification is accepted in over one hundred countries around the world.

Receive International Certification to Teach English as a Second Language!

The Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) program at

Crown College of the Bible has become one of the most effective tools available for reaching internationals in the United States, and on the foreign mission field. Qualified and experienced instructors will teach you the theory and techniques that will enable you to teach both oral and written English to students whose native language is not English.

A proven approach You will concentrate on those areas of language structure most important in teach-

93 ing English as a second language. You will learn the most significant current approaches to the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the English language. You will teach, in a supervised environment, small groups of students who are actually learning English as a second language.

Worldwide opportunities to serve christ Crown College of the Bible graduates holding TESL certificates are currently serving Christ teaching English in numerous foreign countries.

This is one of the great opportunities for missionary work available today. Many nations closed to traditional missionaries have an enormous demand for teachers of American English.

Lay people who have completed the course are using their knowledge and skill in their local church to reach the foreignborn in their communities. You can use your English-teaching experience to share the gospel. Other students and graduates are teaching English to foreign students here in the U.S. on university campuses across the country.

Phonetic Reading Specialist Certification Using historically successful methods, we present reliable phonics in a logical, highly consistent manner that eliminates most “exceptions” to the rules. An International Language Navigators certified phonetic reading specialist is qualified to teach spelling, writing, and reading on any level from pre-school to adult. This certification allows teachers to offer remedial instruction that increases vocabulary, reading comprehension, and reading fluency.

Phonetic Reading Training Offered The Applied English Linguistics course prepares students to teach reading through systematic spelling using intensive phonics. This course equips students to teach phonics, reading, and spelling to young children, struggling teens, adult illiterates, and internationals. An emphasis is placed on modeling and practicing these multisensory instructional techniques.

The Phonetic Reading Specialist Practicum allows students to function as a supervised tutor who directly instructs an assigned pupil for a minimum of eighteen one-hour sessions. Certification requires completion of two semesters of training, instructing students from various backgrounds.

Reaching the Deaf American Sign Language, the world’s fourth most common language, is the primary language of the Deaf in the U.S. and Canada. Two percent of the Deaf profess to be saved; in addition, only seven percent of the Deaf know the name Jesus. With 250 million deaf people in the world and 16 million deaf in America, why are churches unable to reach them? Sadly, these people are missing from our churches because there are either no interpreters or the interpreters are unable to skillfully convey the message into American Sign Language. The Deaf are continually seeking qualified interpreters to share the love of Christ and help them in everyday social and professional situations.

Interpreter Training Program International Language Navigators offers students a certificate of completion from our Interpreter Training Program.

At Crown College you can learn American Sign Language (ASL) and become fully integrated in the deaf ministry of Temple Baptist Church while preparing to reach the deaf. Unique opportunities for ministry are found in weekly Bible

95 studies at Knoxville’s Tennessee School for the Deaf. Courses include various interpreting assignments as well as attendance at interpreting workshops and local community events for the Deaf. Both voice-to-sign and sign-to-voice interpreting are stressed.

The following courses are designed to prepare students for the written National Interpreter Certification (NIC) exam.

DM 100 – Introduction to Deafness (2 credits) DM 101 - American Sign Language I (3 credits) DM 102 - American Sign Language II (3 credits) DM 201 - American Sign Language III (3 credits) DM 202 - American Sign Language IV (3 credits) DM 301 - ASL Interpretation I (3 credits) DM 302 - ASL Interpretation II (3 credits)

Foreign Language Instruction We believe that when learning a second language, students should be immersed as much as possible in the target language. Using the Rosetta Stone program, students learn in an interactive environment that encourages fluency and authentic pronunciation. Students also learn to quote Bible passages, sing hymns, and give the simple plan of salvation in the target language. In addition, students learn conversations that will help them survive in the culture, speaking the studied language. Each language offered has a beginning and intermediate level that includes two courses each.

Licensed Cooperation with Rosetta Stone The School of International Language Navigators has joined with Rosetta Stone to provide foreign language students with immersion into the following languages: Arabic Chinese (Mandarin) Dutch Farsi (Persian) Filipino (Tagalog) French German Greek

Hebrew Hindi Irish (Gaelic) Italian Japanese Korean Latin Polish

Portuguese (Brazil) Russian Spanish (Lat. Am.) Spanish (Spain) Swedish Turkish Vietnamese

“A Spirit of Expectation” “It is a high honor to be able to recommend Crown College to you. Dr. Sexton has a tremendous burden for revival in our generation and it is obvious that the students at Crown are prepared with this in mind.

“I am always impressed with the students’ eagerness to respond to Bible preaching. Everything is done with a touch of excellence. The chapel services are ‘red-hot’ with preaching and the music is always heart-moving! A spirit of expectation abounds on this campus. Not only do we support Crown College financially, but we send students regularly. I trust you will consider Crown College as you prepare to serve the Lord!”

Dr. Mike Norris Pastor, Franklin Road Baptist Church Murfreesboro, TN

“A Big Dream” “Browning said: ‘A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.’ Years ago, a man had a dream. He dreamed of a school where young men and women could be trained to reach the world for Christ. And as the result of much prayer, faith, and hard work, Crown College was born. The dream that had its beginning in the heart of Dr. Clarence Sexton was finally a reality.

“Since that small beginning, Dr. Sexton and his faithful staff have reached out more and more and the dream continues to grow. Today Crown College is one of the finest institutions in our country. Crown is known for its clear stand for the Word of God, separation, evangelism, and academic excellence. It has become the standard for the training of preachers and missionaries. I recommend it highly and without reservation.”
