HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF NEW LIFE BIBLE SCHOOL

The New Life Bible School was founded in 1999 to help equip believers to do the work of the ministry and fulfill their divine destinies. This ministry became the fulfillment of the vision for the New Life Fellowship Church that was given when God called Dr. Robert F. Dowell and his wife Alicia in to the pastoral ministry in 1995. 

In July of 2001 the New Life Bible School entered into partnership with the Minnesota Graduate School of Theology and became an associate school. In doing so, the NLBS was enabled to begin offering degree programs at the Bachelor, Masters, and Doctoral level through Minnesota Graduate School of Theology. 

Minnesota Graduate School of Theology is accredited with Accrediting Commission International for Schools, Colleges, and Theological Seminaries. Accrediting Commission International is the largest independent accrediting commission in the world. 

ACISCTS is an international accrediting commission which holds as its primary objective the encouragement and maintenance of sound scholarship at the highest academic achievement in the areas of private education from the lowest to the highest level. 

Minnesota Graduate School of Theology receives recognition from many organizations such as the: Full Gospel Fellowship of Ministries and Churches International, American Academy of Clinical Family Therapists, New Beginnings Family Counseling Center, and Brooklyn Center for Psychological Testing Services.
