 History
NOTES
With a vision to establish a Bible School, Philippine International College was founded
by Korean missionaries from Korea Evangelical Holiness Church (KEHC) under the leadership of
Rev. Kim, Kwang-Soo, who was the chairman of KEHC mission conference on May 22, 1996.
The college is the educational arm of the Philippine Evangelical Holiness Church, in partnership
of KEHC. Most of the students come from PEHC churches situated all over the country. The
school officially opened on June 10, 1996 at Chipeco Building in Pasay City with Rev. Song,
Pyung-Gu as the first administrator and Dr. Kwon, Young-Han as the academic dean. The insti-
tute began with six students taking up module classes in Bachelor of Theology in Pastoral Minis-
try and Bachelor of Theology in Christian education. The school’s name evolved a number of
times from Evangelical Holiness Bible Institute, Evangelical Holiness Bible College, International
Evangelical Holiness College, and presently, Philippine International College.

The school also moved a couple of times before settling in its current location in Anti-
polo City. From Chipeco, IEC transferred to City land Townhouses, Pasig City in July 1996. After
more than a year, the school with its four (4) students moved to Cubao and then to Capitol
Homes in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.

In June 1997, Rev. Song left the college and Dr. Kwon became the president of IEC.
The school bought a 4,000 square meter lot in Sitio Bayugo, Brgy. San Isidro, Antipolo City as its
permanent location in 2003. Consequently, dormitory, chapel and administration building were
constructed. In 2005, the school received a temporary permit from the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) to operate on the following programs: Bachelor of Arts in Theology Major in
Pastoral Studies, Christian Education and Biblical Studies. A year after, IEC opened a new pro-
gram, Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies Major in in Korean Studies. IEC is privileged to be the
only college in the country that offers a Bachelor’s degree in Korean studies. In accordance with
an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Asia with focus on Korea as the country of speciali-
zation.

 In January 2008, CHED finally released its government recognition in the aforemen- NOTES
tioned programs. In 2014, through the grace of God, PIC was granted by CHED the Graduates
Programs Such as Doctor of Ministry (D.Min), Masters of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS) and
Masters of Arts in Christian Education. PIC also received the recognition from CHED for the
program of Bachelor in Physical Education (BPE).

The primary goal of PIC is to serve the Almighty God whom everything comes. It
should that the service is done in the context of building up of the body of Christ by

 A balanced curriculum of professional, biblical, theological and practical train-

ing.

NOTES PIC is God’s College, a Christ-centered place of learning. God
has given a vision and calling to PIC to
“Educate Global Christian Leaders”
to change the world through
the power of the Holy Spirit.

CORE VALUES

C – hrist-like character and lifestyle

We believe that godly character is primary in leadership. PIC emphasizes to the student body the
importance of such in classroom settings, various activities, and accountability groups. A deeper
and growing relationship with the Chief Shepherd is always the priority in order to be competent
and effective spiritual leaders.

H – igh quality equipping

We provide quality education program approved by CHED and relevant ministry training for dy-
namic spiritual leadership. The staff and faculty of PIC are composed of God- fearing and highly-
qualified individuals who are committed in inculcating valuable knowledge and skills that would
help the students in the field. The local church pastors also work hand with the college in over-
seeing the students’ ministry training, spiritual growth and mastery of ministry skills.

R – ole in the Great Commission

Since we are passionate in training Christian leaders who would be positive influences for Christ
globally, we intentionally play an active role in fulfilling the Great Commission. The students are
involved in Weekend Field Ministry, Inner Circle Discipleship Group ministry week, juniors’ mis-
sion and Korea Post-grad internships. PIC intends to further this training program by offering
Bachelor of Arts in Theology Major in World Mission in 2009. PIC is closely working with Literacy
Ministries International with module classes to be offered in this course.

I – nterdependent relationships
Through our Inner Circle Discipleship Group and PIC family atmosphere, we exhibit the signifi-
cance of discipleship, accountability, and mentoring. ICDG groups are composed of students,
faculty and staff that meet once a week for Bible study, prayer, forum for discussion of personal
issues and fun time. Every single individual is important and has a unique background and
needs. Through these accountability groups, each one is accepted, valued and cared for.

S – ervant leadership
Our Lord Jesus Christ is a perfect model of authentic sacrificial service. The college ardently
instills to PIC community one of the primary purpose of its existence, that is to faithfully serve the
body of Christ. The students are being taught and trained to have the servant attitude

39 4
through their daily work and ministry assignments. The school is blessed to have qualified faculty
and staff daily work and ministry assignments. The school is blessed to have qualified faculty and
NOTES
staff who are also dedicated in serving PIC community through their sacrificial efforts as well.

T – eaching for Life change

As we endeavor to train the students for life change and growth, we conceptualize our curricu-
lum, training program and activities to effect real living change through the power of the Spirit of
God. Character transformation and skills development for effective ministries are consistently
incorporated in the objectives of each course. The faculty and department heads closely monitor
relevant application of what was learned in the classroom.

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

We explicitly affirm our belief in the following teachings of Scripture:

 The Bible is God’s infallible written word, the sixty-six books of the Old Testament. We
believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that it is iner-
rant in the original manuscripts. It is sufficient and the supreme authority in all matters in
which it speaks.

 There is one true God eternally existing in three persons Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit
each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of person-
ality. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:18-20; John 1:1-3)

 Jesus Christ is God, the Living word, who became flesh, through His miraculous conception
by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. His perfect deity and true humanity united in one
person forever. (John 1:1, 14; Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:30-37; Col. 2:9; Phil. 2:6-11)

 He lived in a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sons of men by dying on the cross as
their substitute, and that all who believes in Him are justified and saved on the ground of
His shed blood. (1 John 3:5; 1 Peter 3:18; John 10:17-18)

 He rose from the dead in the same body, through glorified in which He had lived and died.
(1 Cor. 15:4, 14, 20; Luke 24:36-43; John 20:24-29)

 Man was created in the image of God; that he disobeyed God and thereby incurred spiritual
death that is separation from God. (Gen. 1:26-27; 2:15-17)

5 38
NOTES  The personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Acts
2:9-11; 3:19-21; Matt. 24:44)

 The salvation of man is wholly a work of God’s grace and is not the work in whole or in part,
of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. (Eph. 2:8-10; Rom. 3:21-26)

 The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving
work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them,
continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth, and seals them until the day of
redemption. (John 3:5-8; 16:7-15; Titus 3:5)

 The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world
and to disciple men of every nation. (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16)
