Title A name given to the resource Founding of Bluewater Bible College (1962) Description An account of the resource In January 1962, a group of pastors and missionaries in the West Indies met to discuss the need for a ministerial training institution in the Caribbean. In September 1962, Bluewater Bible Institute was founded and started its first classes in the Sunday School classrooms of Calvary Baptist Church on the island of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. In 1964, the 5-acre property of Camp Fortuna was leased to the school, and all classes moved to the new facility on the mountainside overlooking the blue waters of the Caribbean Ocean. In January 1966, the Trustees voted to upgrade the academic level from an institute to a college, renaming it Bluewater Bible College & Institute. Training expanded from a 2-year program to a 4-year program, and an undergraduate degree in Religious Education was added with two minors: Christian Education and Elementary Education. The school's name derives from "the blue waters of the Caribbean Ocean that are stunningly visible from its mountainside location." As word of the school spread across the Caribbean, students enrolled from throughout the West Indies, establishing BBC's regional identity. The campus has remained on the original Camp Fortuna property since 1964.

Title A name given to the resource BBC Doctrinal Statement (14 Points) Description An account of the resource The official Doctrinal Statement of Bluewater Bible College & Institute, as published on bluewater.edu: 1. THE SCRIPTURES: We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures. We accept that the Scriptures are inerrant and should serve as the Christian's only authority for faith and practice. (2 Tim. 3:16,17) 2. THE TRINITY: We believe that God exists equally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1; Jn. 1:1; Acts 5:1-4; 1 Jn. 5:7) 3. JESUS CHRIST: We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, physical death, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 1:23; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Cor. 15:2-4) 4. SALVATION: We believe in the eternal salvation freely provided by God, to all who personally trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of their sins and life everlasting. (Jn. 6:47; 14:6; Acts 4:10-12; Eph. 2:8) 5. THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all true believers, empowering them to do the will of God on earth, and sealing them until the day of their redemption. (1 Cor. 6:19; Eph. 4:30) 6. CREATION: We believe that the universe and all that inhabits it are the direct results of God's creative act. We believe that God created the universe and all that it contains in six consecutive days of 24 hours each. (Gen. 1, 2; Col. 1:16) 7. THE FALL OF MAN: We believe that mankind, although created in the image of God, is in a state of rebellion against God. The only hope of redemption lies within the salvation offered through Jesus Christ alone. (Gen. 1:26-27; 3:1-19; Rom. 5:12-21) 8. THE CHURCH: We believe that the Church is God's divinely chosen institution for this time, given the responsibility of evangelizing the lost and edifying the saved. Ordinances: baptism by total immersion and the Lord's Supper. (1 Cor. 12:1-26; Eph. 4:11-16) 9. ANGELS AND SATAN: We believe that angels exist as the ministering agents of God, while Satan and his demons exist to hinder and corrupt the work of God on this earth. (Heb. 1:13,14; 2 Cor. 4:3,4) 10. THE RAPTURE: We believe in the rapture of all believers prior to the Great Tribulation Period. (1 Thess. 4:13-17) 11. THE SECOND COMING: We believe in the personal, visible, and premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Rev. 19:1-20:9) 12. ETERNITY: We believe that all who are saved will spend an eternity of conscious blessedness with God in heaven; and all those who reject the Gospel will suffer an eternity of conscious torment in hell. (2 Cor. 5:1; 2 Thess. 1:7-9) 13. CESSATION OF SIGN GIFTS: We believe that the gifts of healings, miracles, tongues, the interpretation of tongues, and prophecy were temporary gifts, and are no longer valid manifestations of the work of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor. 13:8-10) 14. AGAINST PROSPERITY GOSPEL: We believe that the 'Gospel of Prosperity' and the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a 'second work of grace' are unbiblical teachings and should not be promoted or practiced by believers.
