Course Delivery

Our courses are available in a variety of formats designed to suit your specific needs. Our standard delivery formats include:

On Site Intensified

An 8 week intensified held in Ventura, CA. This delivery format includes 6 weeks of interest specific, “targeted,” instruction in “Christian Basics,” followed by a two week missions practicum. These intensifieds are also available to be conducted on location at your site by special arrangement request. Contact the Director for more information.

Local Church/Ministry and Regional Seminars

Each catalog course is available as a stand alone seminar. There is no obligation to participate at a full curriculum level if it is not desired. A local ministry may host a seminar. Area ministries are strongly encouraged to cooperate and jointly sponsor a regional seminar (s) as a means of cost sharing.

One Week Formats

The courses can be delivered five evenings a week, 2 hours each night. Tuesday through Saturday is preferred. This format is sometimes the least fatiguing for participants, but does add to host accommodation costs. A Sunday stay over for an instructor to preach at any church service is up to the discretion of the hosting/inviting party. It is up to the instructor and host church to handle all arrangements in this regard.

Weekend Intensified Modules

This format is the least costly for hosts, but fatigue can become an issue: Thursday through Saturday, ten hours of instruction divided as the host sees fit. If a hosting ministry desires either Wednesday evening, or Sunday ministry from an instructor, it is up to the ministry’s discretion and all arrangements for such need to be made privately with the instructor.

Non standard delivery formats are available and interested parties should contact the Director.

Certificate of Ministry

Those individuals desiring certification and ordination for some type of full-time ministry, may participate at a certificate level. The completion of a minimum of 30 courses is required for a certificate. Beyond the core requirement of 8 required courses, each prospective student’s curriculum will be custom designed in close cooperation with the Director, choosing those courses that are most suitable for the individual’s talents, gift mix, and divine calling. The pace at which these courses are taken is up to the individual student and the sponsoring ministries.

Under Development

CD/DVD, and Internet delivery systems are under development.
