Thank you for taking the time to visit ALTOGETHER
LOVELY BIBLE SCHOOL. We are so pleased that you
are sensing God's calling in your life to grow in
Christ and minister in His Kingdom. If you are looking
to get "hands on" ministry experience,
grow in Christ, and build God's Kingdom, we welcome
you with open arms and a heart touched by your devotion
to Christ. We provide a means for Christian laypersons,
Sunday school teachers, missionaries, and ministers
to grow in their relationship with Christ and minister
to a lost world in need of Jesus Christ as the solution
to all life's problems. We are not a "conventional"
Bible school.
But we are here to encourage and empower you in
becoming more like Christ and to minister in His
Spirit and Power. Here you will be "taught
by God" through the Holy Spirit's enlightenment
of God's Word the Bible.

the Lord Jesus Christ; the greatest textbook &
love story: the Bible; the greatest message: the
Gospel; and the greatest Guide & Counselor:
the Holy Spirit.

will for your life. We sincerely wish to be a part
of that process. May God's will be done in your
life.If you have any questions please feel free

Welcome
from ALTOGETHER LOVELY BIBLE SCHOOL COORDINATOR - JUSTIN
EMMETT |
| |
We at Altogether Lovely Bible School have been called
by God to train Christians throughout the world
in His Word and through practical Ministry experience.
This calling is unique, yet practical. The students
are given guidelines for their courses yet they
are free to prepare their courses in a way most
beneficial to them. The student is to minister to
others, disciple others, and be discipled as they
study. For example, each student is asked to disciple
two or more individuals while they study thus multiplying
the Kingdom of God (Matthew 28:18-20). The students
are also asked to find someone to disciple them
in their courses thus becoming disciples themselves.
|
|
|
In this manner, they are able to "Build
God's Kingdom while they study and grow in Christ".
Our desire is to train men and women through experiential,
practical and spiritual disciplines. Our passion
is to build God's Kingdom through Discipleship
Training, Evangelistic Growth, and Experiential
Missions. And all this for an extremely high cost
- the shed blood of Jesus Christ at Calvary. Thus
our school has decided to provide degrees at a
very affordable cost to all. In this way, those
with financial resources can choose to provide
scholarships for those worldwide in less fortunate
circumstances. Grow in Christ, disciple others,
be disciples, build God's Kingdom - all for a
very reasonable cost. Isn't that what Christianity
is all about!!!!
Justin Emmett has been called by God to minister
to individuals throughout India and the world.
With over 16 years of experience in the workforce,
Justin brings many gifts, talents, and experiences
into the ministry. Justin is active with his church
along with his wife and son in Chennai, India.
He has served in various capacities and is well
versed in church affairs and ministry. A dedicated
family man and active in God's field, Justin ministers
with a passion for Christ and a devotion to BUILD
GOD'S KINGDOM. Justin's talents and gifts vary
from administration, teaching, organizational
skills, and a sincere love for the hurting and
lost. He also supports his wife and son through
their ministry "SMILE CARES" which ministers
to less fortune children, single mothers, and
senior citizens in Chennai with a vision for India
(see their website at our HOMEPAGE). Justin has
been called by God to further the glorious Kingdom
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We at Altogether Lovely Ministries International are blessed to have such a dedicated,
discerning, and gifted man leading our HEAD OFFICE/BIBLE
SCHOOL.

What we believe |
| |
We
are born-again, interdenominational, evangelical Christians
who believe that Jesus Christ is God and we rejoice in
the central truths of Christianity as revealed in Scripture.
We believe in the following truth:-
|
†
|
The
unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the
Godhead. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
The
sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption
and final judgment. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
The
divine inspiration and entire trustworthiness of
The Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its
supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
The
existence of a personal being called Satan, who
is malicious and acts as a tempter and accuser of
the brethren. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
The
universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since
the fall, rendering them subject to God's wrath
and condemnation. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
Redemption
from the guilt, penalty, dominion and pollution
of sin, solely through the sacrificial death (as
our representative and substitute) of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the incarnate Son of God. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
Christ's
pre-tribulation bodily return in the air to catch
away His bride, the Church, and His return to earth
to set up His millennial kingdom after the tribulation
period. |
|
|
|
|
†
|
The Judgment
Seat of Christ for all believers and the Great White
Throne Judgment for all unbelievers.
|
|
|
|
|
†
|
Bodily
resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead
and his ascension to the right hand of God the Father.
|
|
|
|
|
†
|
The presence
and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration.
|
|
|
|
|
†
|
Justification
of the sinner by the grace of God through faith
alone.
|
|
|
|
|
†
|
Indwelling
and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
|
| |
|
|
†
|
That
God's plan for this present age involves the evangelization
of the world through the witness of every born-again
believer in Jesus Christ and the establishing of
local churches as a means of accomplishing His purpose.
|
| |
|
|
†
|
Loyalty
to God, and to country and government.
|
| |
|
|
†
|
One holy
universal Church which is the body of Christ and
to which all true believers belong through the born
again reality.
