COURSE DESCRIPTION: Our School of Ministry’s main objective is to train and equip Perspective Calvary Chapel Church Planters and their wives. Students are to complete four semesters of the class, will be evaluated, and if they meet the standards of the church board, graduate with a Calvary Chapel School of Ministry Program certificate. QUALIFYING STUDENTS will then be ordained and sent out by and under the authority of CCBC. 

• These students will also be required to be involved in a weekly service ministry, every week at Calvary Chapel Bear Creek. These students are to meet with the Director prior to beginning this class.

• Our Secondary objective: To raise up church leaders, men and women alike. To give these students the knowledge to lead Bible Studies, to mentor fellow Christians, and the confidence to witness and share the gospel. You will grow in both knowledge and your love for Jesus in the process and begin your search for what mission field that God has for you.

• Attendance & Grading policy: No more than 2 missed classes/weeks over the semester, or you will be dropped from the course! (Being a church planter or church leader requires sacrifices, good health, and faithfulness!)

• Course Requirements: Purchasing the “Living by the Word & Workbook” and “Verse By Verse: study books. The completed workbook is to be handed in prior to starting your 3rd semester.  All students are to take notes of the Sunday message and hand in the notes by the end of each semester. (25% of total grade).

• Church Planting- Class Schedule\ Teaching texts

• 2nd-YEAR STUDENTS: TEACHING FROM AN OULINE! ONCE PER MONTH, students will do their live teaching USING ONLY AN OUTLINE! This will encourage Bible teachers to STOP READING and develop a VARIETY of teaching styles! 

• GOSPEL! If you finish your sermon more than 2 minutes early, you will be asked to present the gospel and give an invitation!  (2 minutes max, faith, repentance, and an opportunity to respond) 

• POINTS! You will be required to use points in your sermon every week! When you use points, you should mention the subject in your introduction and then your points in the body of the sermon! Remember, points are THE BRIDGE between the teaching and the application!   

• SERMONS! 15 minutes with an interesting introduction mentioning the title and text, your points, and using #1- humor and #2- a short/personal story, are a plus, and then teaching verse by verse through the text! (Read, Teach, Points, then Apply)
