Teamwork Bible College International began as a vision of founder and President Dr. John N. Chacha. The mission of Teamwork is to train, equip and mobilize students, pastors, and leaders by empowering them with practical Christian education. This instruction gives students the potential for effective Christian ministry. Through Teamwork’s distance education, schools in America and abroad can be equipped with curriculum and expertise needed to operate extension campuses.

Philosophy

1. To provide an excellent, practical curriculum
2. To train graduates in a well-defined, biblically based apologetic of faith.

Teamwork desires that each student achieve excellence in Christian ministry. Our programs are rich in spiritual content, biblical study and Christian vocational training.

Accreditation

Teamwork Bible College International is an accredited Bible College under the Worldwide Accrediting Commission, overseen by Dr. Paul Richardson. Anyone wishing to contact them for verification may write to: The WWAC, Dr. Paul Richardson, Executive President, 2800 Blendwell Rd., Richmond, VA 23224.

This accreditation gives assurance that Teamwork offers programs meeting national and international standards of excellence.

Government Accreditation

The Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Accreditation is “a review by your peers” that ensures that one is offering a quality program. TBCI has received that. TBCI's peers are other Christian educators, such as the Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions. The U.S. Department of Education is not a peer of Teamwork Bible College International.

Government-recognized accreditation is not necessary for the religious vocations for which we are training people. People can function and hold jobs in all of these areas without government-recognized accreditation.

Individuals seeking employment in government-licensed positions such as public school teachers, state-licensed psychologists or psychiatrists, and non-church-related counselors definitely need government-recognized accredited degrees. Generally, people working in ministry positions do not need a government-accredited degree.

Teamwork Bible College International is authorized by the Department of Higher Education, Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, to grant degrees by religious exemption.
