Philippine
College of Ministry, located in Baguio City in
the Cordillera Autonomous Region of Luzon, is a four year
college founded in 1992 for the purpose of educating church
leaders for the newly planted churches of Christ among the
mountain peoples of northern Luzon. The Churches of Christ
are the offspring of missionaries of the Restoration Movement
inspired by such New Testament thinkers as Alexander and Thomas
Campbell and Barton W. Stone.
Philippine
College of Ministry upholds standards of theology revealed
in the Bible; holds to the deity of Jesus Christ (virgin birth,
miraculous life, literal death and resurrection, ascension
into heaven and literal bodily return) and to the inspiration
of the Scriptures (Old and New Testament); teaches the plan
of salvation as described in the book of Acts and contends
for the restoration of the New Testament Church in things
regarding life, teaching, name, organization and purpose;
and stresses world evangelism as the church's mission.
Philippine
College of Ministry is not connected to a denomination,
but is supported by people of and congregations called Christian
Churches and Churches of Christ. Students are welcome to study
at PCM if they name Jesus Christ as Lord and seek to live
a life governed by the Bible.
The
mission of Philippine College of Ministry is to prepare
Christians for full-time Christian ministry of teaching and
preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and oversight of the
church's ministry as well as in vocations associated with
the Church (Christian schools, children's homes and hospitals).
PCM also offers opportunities to study Christian faith and
ethics to those expecting to follow other professions.
Students
at Philippine College of Ministry are exposed to a
balanced program of study, worship and practical experience.
In addition to course work, students are required to attend
chapel and are given opportunity to sharpen their skills by
serving in preaching, teaching and music ministries in local
churches in and around Baguio. Many journey to villages on
weekends to serve in recently planted churches.

thankful for my excellent education at PCM because I became

other people."
