EDUCATE TO GRADUATE
Each
year, more than a million kids will leave school without earning a high school
(Senior Grad 12 Cert) this is a “Silent Pandemic” leaving many uneducated which
ripple effects into unemployability and poverty.
Since
late 2019s Covid19 has increased the number of school dropouts due to school
program stoppage, as well as many children being left unsupervised because of
parents working from home, poor health or because of them being orphaned. A
major problem facing girl school dropout is “teenage/unwanted pregnancies”
The
decision to drop out is not so much because of children choosing to do so
voluntarily but rather as a result of life pressures. Children are forced
especially child headed homes to help support their family financially or the
demands of caring for siblings or their own children. The not so
academically inclined sees no connection between “academic life” and "real
life”. They feel disconnected from their peers and from teachers and other
adults in the community. Schools also have very few resources to meet the
complex social, emotional and academic needs of their most vulnerable youth
simply because the work load and learner have increased dramatically over the
past decade. Boredom and disengagement
are two key reasons students drop out of school.
ROC
Bible College & Seminary is embarking on our “Educate to Graduate Program”
™ to assist the school dropout to find an interest once more in education. We
envisage empowering them in various important “Life Skill Programs” and
“Training & Development in Trade or Entrepreneurship”
Objectives
· To build a network of support and to
connect parents to the program
· To identify the warning signs of at risk
teenager by cultivating relationships of trust with them
· To
assist with career coaching
· To
offer weekend and evening classes, providing students with flexible scheduling
· To
develop a "dropout prevention, intervention, and recovery plan"
· Adopt a Student-Centered Funding Model

Apostle Dr. Eugeny Maraba
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.
Apostle SAM Maraba
Apostle Sam Maraba is passionate about the ministry and is actively involved in empowering and counseling young boys and men addicted to drugs and alcohol. His desire is to restore the headship in the home and being a role model to the fatherless in the community. His wisdom and gentle nature is incredibly valued and has enabled the ministry to grow and increase in many ways. He also serves as Principal and Lecturer at ROC Bible College & Seminary.
Apostle Sam has a great passion for music, is a musician as well, and loves working with youngsters.
Our Statement of Faith
A. The
Bible. We believe that the Bible, consisting of the
Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and is the
final authority for Christian faith and life.
B. The
Trinity. We believe that there is but only one true and
living God who exists in the past, the present, and forever throughout eternity
in the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
C. God the Father.
We believe there is only one God, who created, preserves, and rules over the
universe. The historical account of creation found in Genesis declares that God
is the personal and direct Creator of all that exists, including the first
humans Adam and Eve, from whom all human beings have come.
D. God the Son:
Jesus Christ. We believe in the deity of Christ
(John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isa. 7:14, Matt 1:23, Luke 1:35); His sinless
life (Heb. 4:15, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning
death (1 Cor. 15:3, Eph. 1:7, Heb. 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, I Cor.
15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal
return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
E. Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and is fully divine. He
convicts individuals of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and He enables
believers to comprehend God’s truth as revealed in Scripture. He indwells and
empowers believers for godly service, for worship, and for witness.
F. Baptism and the Lords Supper.
We believe that baptism and the Lord’s Supper
are the two sacraments of the church. They must be observed under the
discipline of the local church. They do not have any saving merit. (Acts
2:41-47; 8:36-39; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28)
G. Salvation.
We believe God offers eternal life as a free
gift through His Son Jesus Christ and that it must be received by faith alone
through God’s grace alone.(Eph 2:8-9)
H. The Church.
We believe that Jesus Christ is Head of the church, comprised of all true
believers in Him. Christians are to associate themselves as members of local
churches and to serve Jesus Christ faithfully in carrying out the Great
Commission. Each church has the authority and right from Jesus Christ to govern
itself and to administer order, to worship, and to carry out its various
ministries.
I. Evangelism and Missions. We believe that it is the privilege and duty of all believers to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ personally and by all methods in harmony with Holy Scripture. A Christ-centered education includes the ongoing integration of biblical faith into every academic discipline of the University. All subject matter is to be approached, presented, and evaluated from a biblical worldview
J. Last Things. In accord with biblical prophecy, we believe that God will bring the world to its appropriate end, that Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth, that the dead will be raised, and that Christ will judge all humanity in righteousness. Unbelievers will be consigned to the place of everlasting punishment, while the redeemed in their resurrected and glorified bodies will dwell forever with the Lord in Heaven..
K. Life of the
Believer. We believe that Christians should be
consistent with Scripture in their character and in their conduct. We believe
that the Bible is our supreme authority and that it provides the moral and
ethical principles for personal conduct within and outside the academic
community.
Spiritual Family
We believe all Christians should belong to
a “Spiritual Family”, where they are sons and daughters not “Members”. The
complete picture of this family is that of a Holy Nation that exists as one united
functioning Body under Christ's headship that displays the Kingdom of God in
the earth (Psalm 133)
