Introducing Belleview Christian College

Belleview Christian College, located in Westminster just north of the capital city of Denver, Colorado, is a small institution emphasizing quality of education and individual concern for each student. Classes are small, as is overall enrollment. Each course has a personal, "seminar" atmosphere.
Belleview is a ministry of the Pillar of Fire Church, a 100-year-old Bible-believing Christian denomination in the Wesleyan tradition, teaching John Wesley's doctrine of the power of the Holy Spirit for New Testament holiness of heart and life.

The Goal of the College
Belleview is incorporated in the State of Colorado and has been in operation "on the Hill" in Westminster since 1920. The goal of the school is to educate Christians for service in the "priesthood of the believer" -- that is, to build a thorough foundation in the Bible, the Word of God, undergirded by the solid academic preparation in the Liberal Arts (such as English, history, foreign language, and science) which is so essential to vital living as a citizen and a Christian. In the words of St. Paul, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15, NIV) The King James translation has it, "Study to show thyself approved." Our goal at Belleview is to encourage and assist such study.
Although the school is Christian, there is no religious or doctrinal test for entrance. Students of all faiths are admitted so long as they recognize that they will be taught from a philosophical background which is strongly Christian and they agree to adhere to Belleview's Lifestyle Covenant. The theological perspective of the school is Wesleyan/Arminian.

The Bible Seminary is an undergraduate seminary admitting students of all ages, from that of traditional college students and up, for the purpose of preparation for ministry in the Gospel of Christ. While preparation for the pastorate is one of the functions of the seminary, students will also find Bible Seminary training to be valuable preparation for callings in foreign missions, home missions, youth ministry, small-group ministry, music ministry, and so on.
