Commencement exercises 4sHYLES-ANDERSONCOLLEGE Core Values Hyles-Anderson College’s core values are purpose, passion, and commitment. Purpose Hyles-Anderson College has a well-defined purpose. Our commission is to win the lost to Christ, disciple converts, and build churches—100 churches in the Chicago area, 1,000 churches across America, and 10,000 churches around the world. First Baptist Church has already started many churches in these various categories. Hyles-Anderson College, as a ministry of First Baptist Church, has taken the Great Commission as a personal chal- lenge. Passion Go, Win, Baptize, Teach. As a young man is serious about his training to go into battle to protect his country, so Hyles-Anderson College students are passionate about witnessing and preaching to the unsaved, winning them to Christ, getting them baptized, and training them to grow in the Lord, while winning others and training them. Commitment Dedication to our urgent task is supreme. Our founder, Dr. Jack Hyles, was famous for in- stilling statements such as “Don’t Quit,” “Duty,” or “Knocked Down, But Not Knocked Out” into the lives of students. Commitment becomes a lifestyle, not just an obligation while in college. Hyles-Anderson College was established so that pastors, missionaries, teachers, principals, and others in full-time Christian work can be better equipped to do the work of the Lord. The desire of its administration, staff, and faculty is “That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”(II Timothy 3:17) Every student receives a Bible- centered education. our intense Evangelistic Atmosphere Faculty, staff, and students go soul winning weekly and participate in the evangelistic min- istry of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. In 1972, the Sunday school of the First Baptist Church of Hammond was designated by Christian Life Magazineas the largest in the world! our Fundamental Emphasis We are fundamentalists and use the term proudly. We believe in a literal Hell which has fire and brimstone and a literal Heaven with streets of gold. We stand for the King James Bible and the local New Testament church. We believe in redemption through the blood of Christ, salvation by grace through faith alone, and the premillennial second coming of Jesus Christ. CORE VALUESs5 About Us our Emphasis on Culture We believe in students’ learning and practicing propriety. We believe in respect, refinement, dignity, courtesy, proper manners, and Christian grace. A destructive, critical, and cynical attitude grieves the Holy Spirit and is not tolerated. our old-Fashioned discipline The “Hyles-Anderson look” is a conservative, professional, modest, and attractive style. Ladies are known for their modest-length dresses and men for their short haircuts. Visitors to our campus comment about our friendly atmosphere. Our standards are designed to prepare leaders in the ministry. Each student is expected to live, act, talk, and dress so that at no time will he bring reproach upon the name of Christ. our Emphasis on the Practical We blend scholarship with practical training. We teach not only what to do but how to do it. Men are taught how to start churches, build buildings, borrow money from lending in- stitutions, raise money, adopt a budget, and organize New Testament churches. Great soul- winning leaders from across America serve as guest lecturers. The students learn from pulpit preaching, invitations, baptismal services, funerals, wed- dings, business meetings, and much more. Each student studies the varied successful ministries of the First Baptist Church of Hammond and has the opportunity to be involved in these ministries, which include: • Church Planting • Truck Stop Ministry • Sunday School • Promotional Activities • Choirs • Reformers Unanimous Ministry • Bus Ministry • Blind Ministry • Soul-winning Visitation • Jail Ministry • Shut-in Work • Sailor Ministry • Church Nursery • Public School Ministry • Spanish Work • Phoster Club • Deaf Ministry • Rest Home Ministry • Street Preaching • Youth Work • Developmentally Challenged Ministry • Inner-city Chapel Ministry 6sHYLES-ANDERSON COLLEGE Hyles-Anderson College is a private Bible college designed to train stu- dents for Christian ministries. It is our purpose to provide a spiritual, aca- demic, and cultural atmosphere that will produce well-rounded leaders. We at Hyles-Anderson believe that God’s program for service today is cen- tered in the local New Testament church. We are committed to training preachers who will go from here to build Bible-believing, fundamental, sep- arated, soul-winning churches. Thus, our goal is to train America’s future pastors, assistant pastors, evangelists, song leaders, youth workers, bus directors, and missionaries. We also believe that an important arm of the local church is the Christian school. Because of this belief, we are training teachers and administrators for Christian schools. We believe that the Christian school teacher and ad- ministrator must be professionally trained and spiritually oriented. Hyles-Anderson College is training successful preachers and teachers by following a three-fold emphasis. The spiritual must come first in the life of a Christian. Daily chapel services with true Bible preaching form a portion of this emphasis. This atmosphere is maintained in the classroom where every teacher is a dedicated Christian and consistent soul winner. The second emphasis is the strong academic curriculum. It is the purpose of our curriculum not only to teach how to reach the masses, but also to instill in students what to teach and preach to those reached. Thirdly, our curriculum emphasizes the practical side of church ministries, the "how-to-do-its." Our faculty teach techniques, methods, programs, and philosophies behind the ministry of the First Baptist Church of Ham- mond, Indiana. Hyles-Anderson students have a peerless opportunity to work in the ministries of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, to learn the whys and hows of this great ministry. ABOUT USs7 doctrinal statement scriptures God has graciously blessed both His creation and especially His redeemed by giving to all His words. God’s Word constitutes what we call the Holy Bible. We believe the Bible is the Word of God. We believe in the authority and the integrity of both the Old Testament and the New Testament. We believe the Spirit of God exercised His power and wisdom upon the holy men of old and impressed upon them in such a manner that what they wrote was nothing less than the very words of His choosing. Furthermore, we believe that God has providentially superintended the copying and trans- lating of His words through the ages so that the Bible we have today can confidently and authoritatively be called the very Word of God and is reliable, trustworthy, and accurate and is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. First Baptist Church of Hammond and its related ministries use the King James Version of the Bible exclusively in all of their English-speaking ministries. The King James Version is used as a comparative authority in all non-English-speaking ministries as well. First Baptist Church engages in and encourages the learning of the original languages of the Bible as a help in the study of God’s Word, to provide the basic tools in Bible translation, and to assist in the defense of the preservation and integrity of God’s Word as modern languages continue to evolve or change. John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." 8sHYLES-ANDERSON COLLEGE sovereign God God is a Person, eternally existing as a Trinity in unity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three Persons and yet but one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 8:6) son Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God, Who became a man totally apart from sin, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1-15; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 1:15) sin Man was created in the image of God but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death but also spiritual death—separation from God. Now all mankind is totally depraved, having inherited a sinful nature; is bent toward sinning; and has become sinful in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:16, 17; 3:6-19; Romans 3:10-23; 6:23) sacrifice The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified; He ascended into Heaven in the glorified body where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our High Priest. (Luke 24; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 5:8-10; Ephesians 1:20-23; I Peter 3:18) salvation Man is lost and must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. Salvation is by grace alone through personal faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross. (John 1:12; 3:3-7;Eph- esians 2:8,9) service The local church is a group of believers baptized by water; banded together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; preaching the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15; I Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 1:22, 23) second Coming The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any moment to catch up His Church and to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a period called the Tribulation, after which Christ shall return visibly to the earth to set up His King- dom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while the believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord. (Matthew 24:29-42; I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 19:11-20:15) DOCTRINAL STATEMENTs9 distinctives of a Hylander A true Hylander is a consecrated Christian.
