Code of Conduct with Dr. Mike Cowen
Warrior Notes School of Ministry Student Code of Conduct
Warrior Notes School of Ministry is dedicated to training up believers who desire to go deeper in their walk with God. Whether taking classes for your own spiritual growth or to earn a degree, the value and mission of WNSM remains the same: To reinforce your calling, to equip, and to send you out. Following the teachings of Dr. Zadai through strong Biblical principles, all students are expected to keep a high standard of character, integrity, and Biblical alignment. By holding a student account with Warrior Notes School of Ministry, you agree to the following standards:
Upholding Biblical Values
Students are expected to uphold standard Biblical principles. This is a non-negotiable area as the Bible is the infallible word of God. The full expectation of this policy cannot be expressed within this code of conduct. Students acknowledge that a vast majority of Biblical teaching is irrefutable. Students should strive for holiness. Students are expected to be honest, integral, and people of character.
The following statement of beliefs are understood and upheld by students of Warrior Notes School of Ministry:
- We believe in Salvation through confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10; John 14:6)
- We believe there is only one living and true God. There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:2,27; Matthew 28:19; I John 5:7)
- We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20,21)
- We believe Jesus Christ, conceived of the Virgin Mary, is the only begotten Son of the Father. Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead. He ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. (Luke 1:26-33; Hebrews 7:25)
- We believe we are justified (declared righteous under the blood of Jesus) when we repent of our sins and believe in Jesus Christ. (Acts 13:38,39; Romans 5:1; I Corinthians 6:11; Mark 1:5)
- We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gives the utterance, to be the initial evidence of this experience. We believe in the operation of the nine Gifts of the Spirit and encourage our people to live so that these gifts may be manifest in their lives. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; I Corinthians 12:4-11)
- We believe in water baptism by immersion in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:11; Matthew 28:18-19; John 14:6)
- We believe in divine healing for the body and just as salvation, divine healing is for everyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ. However, we encourage and do not condemn medical science. (Acts 3:2-12; Acts 5:15, 16; James 5:14-15)
- We believe every blessing we receive from God comes through the merits of The Atonement (Jesus’ complete sacrifice for us on Calvary). (Romans 5:11; James 1:16,17)
- We believe in the Second Coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:10,11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 1:7)
- We believe that you must be Born Again in order to spend eternity with Jesus! Those who reject Jesus and die outside of Christ will not spend eternity with Jesus Christ and will enter into eternity in hell, but those who die “in Him” shall share in His glory in Heaven forever. (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:29; Jude 1:7)
- We believe in communion, or the Lord’s Supper, as an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to remember His sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and wine or juice are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation. Rather, it is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross.
- We believe in the sacredness of marriage between one man & one woman and family commitment. We promote strong family values. (Ephesians 5:31-33; Ephesians 6:1-4; Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 19:5; Leviticus 18:22; Genesis 2:24)
- We believe in the continuation of the ministry of Jesus, through believers in the power of the Spirit. (Acts 10:38; Mark 16:15-18)
- The totality of the beliefs expressed and held by Warrior Notes School of Ministry cannot fully be expressed. The above beliefs are core and essential. Warrior Notes reserves the right to to enforce an expectation of beliefs not previously outlined. Any behavior that violates the above standard of Biblical beliefs will be considered a violation of the code of conduct.

Warrior Notes School of Ministry expects all students to do their work in an integral fashion.
Respect for Warrior Notes Staff and Personnel
Students are expected to maintain a level of respect towards Warrior Notes Staff. This includes but is not limited to: Spirit Schools, emails, and all other communication methods. Any form of personal attack against staff will not be tolerated. While we offer a unique learning opportunity that does not include a classroom setting, the same level of regard is expected towards staff of a traditional school. While we strive to serve and respect all students, the same is expected in return. Students are to respond to any instructions from staff and ensure that what is asked of them is completed.
