FIVE FOLD BIBLE COLLEGE ~ 2010 / 2011

Whittier, CA

God has filled us with Vision... As many know, Dr. Ralph Pacheco, Founder of FCCI Ministries and President of the Leadership Bible Institute has a vision of establishing a full fledged Bible College in 2010 / 2011.

"I have met with academic leaders like Dr. Robert Flores, President of Pacific Life Bible College (Four Square denomination), to discuss the work of the Leadership Institute and to foster a working relationship with Pacific Life This includes other Bible institutions of higher learning to express an interest in collaborating and sharing our vision for equipping the future leaders of God's Church and advancing the Kingdom of God." Says, Dr. Pacheco, "It is my life's work to establish leaders for this period of new Church plants and Ministries."

On the drawing board through the Leadership Capacity (LC) Foundation, Dr. Pacheco is working with other denominational leaders to establish "new church plants" in southern California. Most recently Dr. Pacheco was invited to sit in with the Strategic Planning Team for the 4 C's (Conservative Congregational Christian Churches) Church Planting Center in southern California. The 4 C's vision is to plant "60 churches" nationwide in the next 10 years, and 15 of those new churches are targetted for the greater Los Angeles basin area. "I was delighted to meet with Dr. Hamilton, the 4C's denomination's head of their new church planting initiative. I was honored to be invited by 4 C's pastor Dan Pryor (Whittier, CA) to serve as an advisor to him as he provides the leadership, counsel, and advice to the planning process here in southern California ." Says Dr. Pacheco, "It is truly an honor to have been asked to participate in the early planning stages."

As a result of the work of the Leadership Bible Institute, many potential church planters and ministry leaders have emerged from the Training Center. The next step for Dr. Pacheco and the LC Foundation is to strategically plan to establish the start-up of the "Five Fold Bible College." The LC Foundation will serve as the "catalyst" for developing and implementing The Five Fold Bible College plan. Dr. Pacheco plans to extend an invitation to Church and Ministry leaders from throughout southern California that shall serve as the Bible College Planning Committee / Task Force. This committee / task force ideally will include colleagues from Vanquard University, BIOLA University, Esther Mallett University, USC, Claremont Graduate School of Ministry, Vision University, Azusa Pacific University, Life Pacific Bible College, and Fuller Theological Seminary. Distinguished Church pastors and other Ministry leaders shall also be invited to serve on the Planning Committee / Task Force as well.

"For those who share a vision for preparing the next generation of Church leaders and Ministry leaders - Please join us ... For there are men & women of God who are not satisfied with the status quo, are seeking God's best, and believe the Lord is establishing a new dynamic way in His Church ... It is these Men and Women who are 'pregnant with expectancy' and are looking to be trained and established by anointed teachers and trainers that need be encouraged to participate in this endeavor... Would you like to participate with us?" States Dr. Pacheco.

The Committee / Task Force structure is scheduled to established in early 2010. and the work to be completed by late-2010 / early 2011. Initial Classes may be offered with enrollment for the Fall Semester 2010 period. Dr. Pacheco can be reached at FCCI Ministries: 562 946 1410.
