 “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. And that from a child thou has known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:14-17

The importance of education (or being able to receive and attend basic classroom schooling from the kindergarten years to college and graduate years) have increased dramatically over the last 50 years according to recent studies and surveys. Education now stands at a critical standpoint in each individual's life, particularly the ability to predict the turnout of that individual's social and professional subsistence. Education now determines what you can expect to earn over the course of your lifetime.

Education provides more opportunities to graduates or to individuals who have had a higher level of education, as opposed to the individuals who have not. It was observed that the job and career opportunities for an individual without college education went down by 50 to 75% compared to the opportunities presented to the same types of individuals fifty years ago.

Bishop Lloyd L. Faulknor is a staunch advocate for the young people of his ministry to attain a college education.  Bishop Lloyd L. Faulknor scholarship foundation was established based on his innate instinct to see our young people succeed on a spiritual and temporal level.
