International Christian College of Manila (ICCM) is a private, non-profit co-educational Bible college of the non-denominational Christian Churches/Churches of Christ as rooted on the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement, whose existence is anchored, among others, on the preservation of primitive New Testament Christianity. Its main campus is in San Jose, Antipolo City, province of Rizal, Philippines. In accordance with the Philippine law, ICCM first received its permit to operate from the country’s Commission on Higher Education (CHED) on 8 March 2005. ==History== The college started in July 2000 when a number of advanced students of theology from other Bible seminaries found that they no longer had a Bible college in which to study. The students approached church ministers of Metro Manila like Nick Alfafara, Robert and Nezie Cabalteja, and Ross and Cheryl Wissmann for help with a new college where they could continue their training for the church. The first classes were held in the Wissmann’s residence then in Mapayapa Village I, Quezon City. The first professors were Bobby and Nezie Cabalteja, Tito Pel, Ferdinand Rosete, and Ross and Cheryl Wissmann. By August 2000, premises were rented in Village Plaza Building at the corner of Narra and Sampaguita streets at Mapayapa Village III that served as boys’ dorm and classrooms while the girls’ dormitory was at the nearby Bueno Sol, Ramax Subdivision, Quezon City. The same year, the Board of Trustees was created to act as a policy-making body and to oversee the school’s operation, fund-raising drives and promotion. Its first chair and vice-chair were Dr. Violeta N. Arciaga and Dr. Josue S. Falla, respectively, both well-known educators and scientists in the Philippine civil service. The school was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 21 June 2001. In 2002, when Village Plaza was repossessed by a bank, the college moved to its present location at the corner of Provincial Road and Genesis streets in Antipolo City, province of Rizal. The site had been a resort, a private school, and then left derelict. Antipolo Church of Christ had been meeting there and is accommodated for their services each Sunday. The property is 5,000 square meters and a lease has been obtained for at least ten years. ICCM began with 11 students but this had declined to six by end of the first semester. Enrollment grew to 27 at the beginning of second term 2000/01 and to 66 for the first semester 2001/2002. The enrollment for second semester 2003/4 was 84 and the first semester of 2006/7 it escalated to 125 students. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Christian College of Manila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
