Canby Bible College, originally called the Leadership Training

Institute, was founded in 1998 under the leadership of Pastor

Ron Swor and direction of Pastor Al Carpenter, who served as

Director of CBC until 2005. He was succeeded by Dr. Jeremy

Wallace, the current Dean of the College, who is continuing

the Canby Bible College mission of equipping laborers for the

harvest. To equip students for the work of the ministry, a highly

trained and credentialed faculty with decades of teaching,

pastoral and missions experience have developed a two‐year

curriculum in which the entire Bible is examined, giving stu‐

dents a solid foundation of the central doctrines, messages

and themes set forth in Scripture. In addition, several clas‐

ses are offered which equip students in the areas of spiritual

leadership, Biblical interpretation, and practical ministry, as

they are given opportunity for “hands‐on” ministry expe‐

rience in the context of the local church. To resource stu‐

dents in completing their class assignments, CBC maintains a

library containing over 3,000 volumes, software programs and

periodicals that are recognized as classic resources for

biblical studies.

In 2000, Canby Bible College was recognized by the Interna‐

tional Church of the Foursquare Gospel as a “Certified,

Church‐Based Bible College.” In 2001, CBC was granted

religious exempt status by the State of Oregon to confer an

11

Associate of Christian Ministry degree upon those who graduate

from the two‐year program. In 2009, CBC was granted religious

exempt status by the State of Washington.

Many CBC graduates have continued their education and earned

Bachelors Degrees. CBC currently has transfer arrangements

with LIFE Pacific College, New Hope Christian College (Eugene,

Oregon), Pacific Rim Christian University, The King’s University,

Pacific Life Bible College, Multnomah University and Northwest

University. Other CBC students have served abroad on the for‐

eign mission field (including Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand,

South Africa, China, Estonia, England, Germany and France), in

local church ministries, and numerous church planting endeavors.

In fulfillment of our mission statement, over 31 ⁄ of all CBC gradu‐

ates have gone on to serve in full or part‐time ministry or have

continued their education at other colleges. And numerous other

graduates are serving Christ in the market‐place, ministering

where God has planted them.

12

Every time I read it, my passion for lost people grows a little

deeper and my commitment to discipleship becomes more

focused. No doubt you are familiar with the passage we call,

“The Great Commission.” 

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on

earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the

nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and

of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to

observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo,

I am with you always, even to the end of the

age” (Matthew 28:18‐20).

In this passage, Jesus spoke about more than soul‐winning.

He spoke about “making disciples” and “teaching” people

about the kingdom of God.

Jesus revealed the importance of bringing those who were

newly saved to a place of spiritual maturity where they, in

turn, could encourage others to become His disciples. This is

multiplication of ministry, which is the heart of Canby Bible

College.

CBC is committed to helping students become people of in‐

fluence in the kingdom of God. Our goal is that students in‐

13

fluence others by the Presence of God in their lives through their

personality and gifting. CBC is designed to accomplish this goal

through an in‐depth study of the Scriptures and through practical

ministry experiences. We are committed to work in partnership

with the Holy Spirit to raise up the next generation of disciples

who know God, and desire to make Him known to others.

Perhaps you sense that God is calling you to become His disciple,

a person who is committed to follow in Jesus’ footsteps of

servant‐leadership. If this is the case, I would ask you to prayer‐

fully consider enrolling in Canby Bible College. This will be a life‐

changing experience, not only for you, but also for those your life

will touch in the future.

Pas-tor Ron Swor President

The most formative years of my life were in college. It was a

time where the “big questions of life” were answered – Who

am I? Why am I here? What am I to do with my life? One week‐

end I attended a church with a friend and the pastor quoted

something Edmond Burke wrote many years ago, and I knew

I would never forget it. He said, “All it takes for evil to tri‐

umph is for good men to do nothing.” It was such an impact‐

ing moment in my life – I knew that I only had one life to live,

and I knew I wanted to make it count. I knew the next step

for me would entail much preparation for the road ahead.

The Apostle Paul, while preaching in a synagogue in Pisidian

Antioch, said, “When David had served God's purpose in his

own generation, he fell asleep” (Acts 13:36). In this simple

verse, I cannot help but see two vital realities: 1) God has a

purpose for everyone, and 2) God desires to use each of us

to reach our generation for His purposes. Again, in his letter

to the Church in Ephesus, Paul clarifies God’s desire to use

everyone for ministry purposes: “He Himself gave some to be

apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors

and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of

ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians

4:11‐12).

I share these Scriptures with you because I know God wants

15

to use you for His Kingdom purposes. He has a burning desire

to use you to impact everyone around you. He wants to equip

you to be the minister you are called to be. Though everyone

is not called to full‐time vocational ministry, everyone is called

to be a faithful, equipped, anointed, willing laborer who is

passionate for the Harvest. Jesus Himself said, “The harvest is

plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of

the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Matthew

9:37‐8). This is our primary goal at Canby Bible College –

“equipping laborers for the harvest.” Here you will grow in an

environment that is educational, relational, and missional.

There is no better place to grow in knowledge while becoming

more passionately in love with our Savior!

Join us next semester as a full‐time, part‐time, or auditing

student. It will change your life!

Dr. Jeremy Wallace Dean of the College

16

Canby Bible College is dedicated to the work of “Equipping Laborers for the Harvest.”

Every generation is called by God to make disciples who are able to accurately represent the life of Jesus Christ to others through servant‐leadership. In light of this commission, Canby Bible College is committed to encourage the spiritual growth and development of each student, to resource students with Biblical knowledge and training neces‐sary for ministry, and to release stu‐dents to fulfill the call of God upon their lives.

Canby Bible College exists to equip saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:12). It is a priority of CBC to integrate classical biblical wisdom into our mod‐ern day and age. In light of this, CBC seeks to uphold three distinct priorities: to provide an educational experience, in a relational environment, toward a missional purpose. We desire to provide an environment in which the Holy Spirit is allowed the opportunity to grow the student’s personal character, individual calling, and ministry competency.

CBC provides an educational

experience, in a relational environment,

toward a missional purpose.

Canby Bible College is located just outside the small, scenic

town of Canby, Oregon. Our campus shares space with

New Life Foursquare Church. Surrounded by beautiful trees

and other natural landscaping, CBC lies one mile from

downtown Canby. Canby’s population exceeds 16,000 and

continues to grow each year. Many feel that Canby offers

the “best of both worlds,” rural and urban.

19

CBC is located on the campus of New Life Foursquare Church,

which is conveniently located on the corner of 99E and Territorial

Road. The grounds are spacious and great for taking a walk and

spending quiet time with the Lord.

The main building for Canby Bible College has two large class‐

rooms and a library for study and research, which are all handicap

accessible. The Administrative Offices are located on the main

floor of the CBC building.

Our library, of more than 3000 volumes, is located in the lower

level of Canby Bible College. Students are able to use the facility,

utilize reference materials, and check out circulating books

during library hours. The library currently has two computer

work stations available for use by students.

The Northwest offers many

different opportunities for

recreation and sport. Popu‐

lar outdoor activities include

whitewater rafting, hiking,

rock‐climbing, boating,

biking, skateboarding and

much, much more. The City

of Canby is host to the annual Clackamas County Fair and

holds yearly outdoor concerts at Wait Park.

Portland has everything one

would expect from a bustling

metropolitan city. Known as

the “City of Roses,” Portland is

nestled in the shadow of Mt.

Hood, making it conducive for

those desiring to ski, snow‐

board, snowmobile or nature‐

hike in a serene snow‐topped

mountain range. With its “big‐city” attractions and its “small‐

city” feel, Portland has been rated one of the nation’s most

exciting up‐and‐coming cities in the United States.

24

Since CBC is a training ground for Spirit‐filled Christian leaders, every full‐time student is required to lead the faculty and students in a short devotional (“devo”). Devo’s are twice a week and provide a refreshing break in the day. Students often lead with a time of teaching, testimony, worship or prayer. This exercise is designed to introduce the student to the task of hearing from God on behalf of others.

Throughout the school year, CBC students will participate in a variety of Chapel services. These afford the students, faculty, and guests the opportunity to gather together to corporately encounter the presence and power of Christ through times of song, reflection, biblical study and fellowship.

25

CBC is a commuter college. Students are expected to secure and maintain housing off campus. If students are going to live in a host home, arrangements should be secured within 30 days before the semester begins.

The Thursday and Friday (8/27 & 8/28) before the first day of class are set aside for Registration. This is a time to com‐plete application and enrollment paperwork, pay tuition and other fees, and purchase textbooks.

The first day of the Fall Semester (Tuesday, 9/1) is set aside for Orientation and Opening Convocation. This is a day to spend time in worship and prayer, meet the instructors and learn about the course offerings.

Students are expected to pay all charges for tuition, fees

and textbooks by the first day of class. All educational costs

are the responsibility of the student. College and educational

expenses should be considered in advance of registering for

classes. A student may not register for further classes,

receive any grade certificates or diploma, or have any tran‐

script requests processed until all accounts are paid in full. If

a student is not able to completely pay his/her tuition by the

first day of class, a meeting should be arranged with the Dean

of the College.

Failure to attend classes does not

relieve the student of the respon‐

sibility of paying charges. To have

charges removed, the student

must drop the class(es) within the

refund period for the class. See

the refund policy on page 32 for

details.

Mrs. Angela Wiggins Registrar/Administrative Asst.

Tuition refunds will be processed only after intent to withdraw

from classes has been submitted to the school office in writing.

Refunds will be made according to the following schedule:

Switching between credit and audit status can be done once

per semester before the 4th week of class. Any premium re‐

fund will be calculated based on the above schedule.

Textbooks purchased through CBC will be refunded if returned

unused, unmarked and undamaged within 30 days of enroll‐

ment. Application fees are non‐refundable.

The Canby Bible College refund policy for veterans complies

with CFR 21.4255. According to this policy, in the event the

veteran or eligible person fails to enter the course, withdraws

or is dismissed at any time prior to completion, any unused

portion of tuition, fees and other charges is refunded. This

policy provides that any amount in excess of $10 of the appli‐

cation fee is subject to pro‐rating. This policy also provides

that the amount charged to the veteran or eligible person for

tuition, fees and other charges for a portion of the course will

not exceed the exact pro‐rated portion of the total charges

for tuition, fees and other charges; that the length of the

completed portion of the courses is pro‐rated over its total

length; and that the exact prorate is determined by the ratio

of instructional days in the course. Refunds are made within

forty (40) days of the last date of the student’s attendance.

Also, for the purposes of the V.A., full‐time is considered 12

credits. If you would like more information regarding this

program, please contact the CBC Administrative Office.

Canby Bible College has been a Certified Church‐Based Bible

College since the year 2000. This certification is granted by

Foursquare Ministry Training Institutes, a ministry department of

International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. This certification

is not accreditation, rather it is evidence that the school meets

academic requirements specifically for licensing purposes. To

learn more about Foursquare Institutes, go to

www.foursquare.org.

In 2001, Canby Bible College was granted exempt status by the

State of Oregon to offer theological and/or religious occupations

39

degrees following a determination that state academic standards

will be satisfied under OAR 348.605(2)(c) and 348.604. That CBC

degree is an Associate of Christian Ministry, issued to students

who have satisfied the graduation requirements of the Two‐Year

Program. Inquiries concerning the standards or school compliance

may be directed to the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization at

1500 Valley River Drive Suite 100, Eugene, Oregon 97401.

the Degree‐Granting Institutions Act for the following program:

Associate of Christian Ministry. The Council makes no evaluation

of the administration, faculty, business practices, financial

condition or quality of the offerings by this institution. Any person

desiring information about the requirements of the act or the

the home‐school requirements for the State of Oregon have been

fulfilled should be submitted, along with a written transcript

identifying each course taken in grades 9‐12, grades received, and

graduation date.

Canby Bible College admits qualified applicants regardless of sex,

race, color, national or ethnic origin, age or physical handicap,

soon as possible so that provisions can be made to accommodate

the special learning needs related to your disability.

absence should apply through the Admissions Office. Acceptance

will be based on the reason for withdrawal, the reason for

43

Students wishing to audit are welcome and encouraged to

attend either as full‐time or part‐time students. Those who

are auditing are not required to take exams or complete

homework assignments, and will not receive any credit for

the class. Auditing allows students with limited time the

opportunity to experience the same class lectures. A

student who chooses to audit instead of taking classes for

credit will have a 25% discount applied against their tuition

cost. (This discount cannot be combined with any other

discount.) The deadline for changing to audit from credit,

or to credit from audit, is four weeks from the first day of

the semester. Any premium refund will be calculated

based on the refund schedule found on page 32.

44

The Canby Bible College grading scale is as follows:

A grade of incomplete (“I”) is issued at the discretion of the

administration, and only when there is a valid reason why the

student is unable to complete the assigned work within the

time provided. If the incomplete is not made up by the end

of the following term, the “I” is changed to “F.”

If a student fails to follow the proper withdrawal procedure,

he/she will receive a WF (failing grade) in all classes. Failed

courses may be re‐taken for credit.

Since much of

what is received in Canby Bible College occurs in the

classroom setting, students are strongly encouraged to

attend all classes on time in order to receive the great‐

est benefit. To allow for illness and emergencies, a stu‐

dent is permitted to be absent up to 20% of the total num‐

ber of class hours per class and still receive credit for that

class. Loss of credit will result when the allowed number

of absences is exceeded. This 20% absence limit is sole‐

ly to accommodate illness, emergencies and other un‐

planned activities. It is not to be used for any other pur‐

pose.

46

Students are welcome to view the contents of their student

files or see a copy of their transcript at any time by contact‐

ing the Canby Bible College Administrative Office. Official,

sealed copies of transcripts are available upon request.

The first three transcripts requested are free of charge. Any

further transcripts requested will be available at a charge of

$5 each.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Acts (FERPA) (20

U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects

the privacy of student education records. The law applies to

all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of

the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their

children’s education records. These rights transfer to the

student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a

school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the

rights have transferred are “eligible students.”

Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and

review the student’s education records maintained by the

school. Schools are not required to provide copies of

records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is

impossible for parents or eligible students to review the

records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

47

Parents or eligible students have the right to request that

a school correct records that they believe to be inaccurate

or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the

record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to

a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still

decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible

student has the right to place a statement with the record

setting forth his or her view about the contested

information.

48

Transfer of CBC credits to another educational institution

is subject to the credit transfer policy of that institution.

Students wishing to transfer credits to CBC from other

colleges should request that an official transcript be sent

to the CBC Registrar’s Office for review. A maximum of 30

credits from other institutions, which are comparable to

CBC courses, may be applied toward the Associate of

Christian Ministry Degree (on a course‐for‐course basis).

Only courses in which a student has received a grade of C

or higher are eligible for transfer of credit. Transfer of

credits will be determined by the Transfer Review Board.

Courses which are approved for transfer to CBC will only be

officially accepted after completing one full term at CBC, or

12 credits.

Canby Bible College has a transfer agreement with Life

Pacific College, New Hope Christian College (Eugene, OR),

Pacific Rim Christian University, The King’s University,

Pacific Life Bible College,

Multnomah University and

Northwest University. As

CBC continues to expand

Articulation Agreements with

other Colleges, please check

with the Administrative

Office for a current listing.

49

Students are expected to maintain a minimum of a 2.00

GPA. If a student’s GPA drops below 2.00 after any one

semester, the student will be placed on academic proba‐

tion and must meet with the Dean of the College to devise

a plan of remediation to raise the GPA. A student on aca‐

demic probation has one semester to raise his/her GPA to

2.00 before losing financial aid, if applicable. If a student’s

GPA remains below 2.00 for two semesters, or their cumu‐

lative GPA drops below 2.00, the student will be required

to attend academic counseling and may be in danger of

dismissal. When academic dismissal occurs, the student

must wait at least one semester to reapply for admission.

Students may appeal to be reinstated only if there are

contributing factors unknown to CBC. To make an appeal,

the student should submit a written statement to the Dean

of the College including: reasons for the unsatisfactory

progress, intentions to maintain acceptable academic

standing, methods for anticipated success toward educa‐

tional goals. If the appeal is granted, the student will

return under probationary status.

Students in the I.D. program are also required to follow

standards listed in the I.D. handbook.

50

In order to graduate from Canby Bible College, students

must complete 60 credit hours of instruction, maintain a

minimum grade point average of 2.00 and have all financial

accounts paid in full. Graduation occurs each year follow‐

ing the Spring Semester and is held at New Life Foursquare

Church. Students are charged a $100 fee to cover gradua‐

tion expenses.

51

Graduates who receive an appointment to a full‐time

ministry position are eligible to apply for an international

license as a minister with the International Church of the

Foursquare Gospel. For more information on the

Foursquare Church, visit www.foursquare.org.

52

To ensure a quality educational experience, students are

appointed Academic Advisors to assist them in their

academic progress and career planning goals. Students

are also encouraged to meet with the Dean of the College

to discuss future educational goals or transfers. Students

will be given contact information when an Advisor is

assigned, or they may contact the Admissions Office at

503‐266‐4444.

53

If students have a grievance about a class or instructor,

they should first attempt to discuss the matter with that

instructor. If the matter is not resolved to the student’s

satisfaction, or the matter relates to a policy of Canby Bible

College, the student is encouraged to write a letter to the

Dean of the College addressing those concerns. The Dean

of the College will then work with the student to address

and resolve the matter. It is the heart of Canby Bible

College that all students be valued, encouraged and edified

in their experience here at CBC, understanding that the

endeavors of school life will entail much study, growth,

discipline, and effort.

54

Canby Bible College is a Christian College where students are

encouraged to grow in their knowledge of the Lord Jesus

Christ and the disciplines of Christian living. Students are

expected to refrain from conduct and practices which are

offensive to normal Christian conscience and detrimental to

the development of consistent Christian character. This

applies to all areas of a student’s life, including behavior,

profanity, sexual immorality, finances, and clothing choices.

A student may be placed on probation for behavior that

violates Biblical, ethical or moral guidelines. Depending on

the severity, or the continuation of such activities, a student

may be suspended or dismissed from Canby Bible College.

If a student wishes to appeal this decision or apply for re‐

entrance, he/she may do so at the administrative office by

making an appointment with the Dean of the College.

Decisions will be based on the severity of the violation and

the student’s willingness to correct the behavior.

Let your conduct be worthy of the Gospel of Christ. Phil. 1:27

55

As Canby Bible College is a Christian institution of higher

learning, a student’s academic integrity is paramount.

Plagiarism (using someone else’s words or concepts as your

own), including extended paraphrase, is considered stealing

“intellectual property.” A student who is found cheating or

plagiarizing is subject to disciplinary action, including failure

of the course and possible expulsion.

Be diligent

to present yourself approved to God,

a worker who does not need to be ashamed,

rightly dividing the word of truth.

The Instructional Program offers an intensive survey of the

Bible from Genesis through Revelation within two years. The

objective of this instruction is for students to understand and

apply the teachings of the Bible to their lives, and to effective‐

ly share what they learn with others. In addition, related

courses are offered which are designed to equip the student

with specific leadership and study skills necessary for ministry.

Internships

After successfully completing the first semester of studies,

full‐time, credit‐seeking students are eligible to enroll in Minis‐

try Internship. This program is designed to provide on‐the‐job

training for students who feel a strong call to a particular area

of ministry (e.g., youth, children, etc.). Students must apply

to become accepted as an intern, and make a commitment to

the pastor who will be overseeing their ministry activities to

serve a minimum of one semester and a maximum of four

semesters. Interns will earn three credits per semester and

will be expected to devote at least nine hours per week in

their ministry activity. Because of the additional amount of

time devoted to internship responsibilities, student interns

are strongly encouraged not to work a part‐time job. The In‐

63

ternship pastor can either be a pastor of New Life Foursquare

Church or a pastor of the student’s home church. An intern‐

ship contract will be drawn up between the Canby Bible

College Dean, the internship pastor, and the student, listing

expectations, criteria, schedules, and other relevant

information.

I.D. Program

Immersion Discipleship is a one‐year immersive leadership

development program (with a two‐year option) designed to

strengthen, instruct, and equip young adults who are passion‐

ate about pursuing lives of meaning and ministry. The pro‐

gram creates a lifestyle of growth and dependency on Christ

that immerses the student into intense character develop‐

ment, study of God’s Word, and ministry service. I.D. is not a

“cookie‐cutter” program, but is designed to challenge

students in areas specific to their

calling. Students devote them‐

selves to a rigorous program,

including academic study, devo‐

tions, prayer, mentoring, ministry

service, outreach and missions

trips, and ministry projects.

Students in the ID program pay an additional tuition per year

and have the option of living in a host home. Due to the

nature of the program, a limited number of students are

accepted. Students receive a total of 12 credits for the 2‐year

program. Prospective students should contact the Student

Ministries department at 503‐266‐4444 for more information.

64

BI 101 Pentateuch (3)

The Pentateuch is a study of the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). Emphasis is placed on two unchanging truths.

BI 102 Hebrew Prophets (3)

This course is a survey of the prophetic portions of the Bible covering the time of the united and divided kingdom periods of Israel’s history.

BI 112 The Life of Christ (3)

This course is a survey of the Synoptic Gospels, with an emphasis upon the Person and ministry of Jesus Christ. In this course, careful attention will be given to understanding the concept of the king‐dom of God and the principles which govern kingdom living. The teachings of Jesus Christ, as well as His personal life, leadership and ministry style, will be covered.

All this is done with a purposeful learning of the inductive approach to Bible Study.

Christian Worship (2)

This course explores the historical development of Christian wor‐ship, its biblical roots, and most especially the effects that changes in its content, structure and style have had on the Church.

CM 112 Spiritual Formation (2)

Spiritual Formation is a class in which students will be exposed to spiritual disciplines. These “disciplines” are designed to enhance the student’s spiritual growth and development. The objective of this course is to plant in the heart of the student the seed of a con‐suming, life‐long desire to have an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and to provide the tools with which to pursue this desire. Students will be required to be engaged in several of these disciplines throughout the semester.

CM 124 Intercultural Ministry (2)

In this course students will explore various issues related to minis‐tering to people of different cultures, gaining a theological and

69

practical framework for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in a cross‐cultural context. Through the process of reading, dialogue, reflection and seeking to understand different cultural perspectives, students will develop Scriptural foundations and practical methods of advancing God’s Kingdom among “every nation, tribe and lan‐guage.” Specifically, students will examine the significance of the Incarnation, examine personal values in light of values held within a particular culture, and develop a strategy for reaching this culture within their own locale.

CM 130 Introduction to Apologetics (2)

This course serves as an introduction to the study of Christian apologetics. After a brief survey of the history of apologetics, vari‐ous worldviews, the laws of inference and logical fallacies, the students will explore the classical and contempo‐rary arguments for the existence of God from a Christian perspective. They will analyze biblical, philosophical and existential approaches utilized in the discipline of apologetics, and will ex‐amine the strengths and weaknesses inherent within classical, evidential and pre‐suppositional approaches to defending the Christian faith.

CM 204 Foundations of Ministry (3)

This course is designed to introduce the student to the simplicity and complexity of Christian Ministry. The student will examine the biblical and theological foundations for Christian Ministry, discover personal ministry gifts, and consider the relevance and influence of faithful, Spirit‐filled Christian Ministry in a postmodern milieu.

70

CM 217 Pastoral Ministry & Theology (2)

This course introduces students to pastoral ministry and theology. One of the primary goals of this course is to equip students with an informed understanding of topics including pastoral roles, discern‐ing a ministerial call, and the responsibilities of ministering the word and making disciples in a diverse, postmodern culture.

CM 219 ‐ 222 Ministry Internship (3 cr/semester)

This program is designed to provide on‐the‐job training for students who feel a strong call to a particular area of ministry (e.g. youth, children, pastoral care, etc.). Students may apply to become accepted as an intern after they have successfully completed their first semester of studies. They must also make a commitment to the pastor who will be overseeing their ministry activities to serve for a minimum of one semester. Interns will earn three credits per se‐mester and will be expected to devote at least nine hours per week to their ministry activity. A total of 135 hours of ministry per semes‐ter is required.

71

GE 104 Writing Essentials (2)

Writing Essentials introduces students to the college level writing process and to the keys for writing a successful paragraph, response paper, essay, and research paper. This course emphasizes three main areas: Writing, Reading, and Research.

GE 112 Public Speaking (3)

Proficiency in public speaking is essential in ministry. In this course, students will study and practice the essential elements of expository and persuasive communication. Attention is not only given to tradi‐tional forms of public expression, but also to the use of multimedia tools to enhance public presentations. As a result of taking this course, students will be equipped to speak confidently and clearly in a variety of contexts.

GE 142 Teaching Assistant (1)

Select students may qualify to be a Teaching Assistant (T.A.). Numer‐ous roles and responsibilities will be incumbent upon a T.A., including grading assignments, taking role, fulfilling delegated administrative tasks, substitute teaching for the instructor, etc. Full discretion is given to the Instructor as to whether he or she will utilize a T.A., as well as who may be qualified and accepted to fill this position.

GE 214 Ethics (2)

This course serves as an introduction to the study of ethics from a Christian perspective. A variety of ethical theories will be covered, including utilitarianism, behaviorism, ethical egoism, as well as Kant‐ian, virtue, and situation ethics. Students will compare and contrast these ethical theories with a distinctly “Christian ethic.”

72

GE 216 Paradigms of Church History (3)

In this course the paradigms of church history will be explored from the dawn of the Church to the present. The course will unfold the dynamics of how the Church worshiped, and how it evangelized and discipled new believers within each of the major historical para‐digms. The student will engage with the questions: "How and why did the Church develop as it did? What were the major influences and who were its major thinkers and shapers?" While designed to meet the requirements of a survey course, the student will also pause and interact in greater depth with certain critical moments and figures in the life of the Church.

GE 225 Directed Study (2‐4)

Students who have accumulated 30 credits or more may request Directed Study for a course if the regular instructor, or one desig‐nated by the Dean, is willing to offer it. All Directed Study must be in accordance with CBC course offerings and will be directed by the instructor in all matters of course curriculum and oversight. This course is restricted to students fully enrolled in the Associate of Christian Ministry Degree plan. GE 230 The Life & Literature of C.S. Lewis (2)

This course will analyze selected writings of C.S. Lewis, first from a literary perspective and then from a theological and biblical perspective. After surveying his life and historical context, special attention will be given to a critical analysis of his literature. Since the primary approach to the course will be from a literary‐critical perspective, students will learn how to evaluate the wide range of genres utilized by Lewis as well as his overall effectiveness in literary composition and communication.

73

TH 216 Doctrines (3)

This course serves as an introduction to basic Bible doctrines. Upon examining the various disciplines of Christian theology, students will learn to think “theologically” as they explore the doctrines of God, creation, revelation, humanity, sin, Christ, salvation, the Church, the Holy Spirit, the mission of the Church, and the study of ‘last things.’

My experience at CBC was the best experience in my life. It has made me the person I am and has shaped me to be a student of God’s Word.

My time at CBC was incredible. The Lord spoke to me, healed me, and moved in me through all the instructors, classmates, and classes. I realize now more than ever just how unique and valuable my time at CBC was.

91

I learned so much and grew so much in my faith in God. I grew a passion to reach out to those who don’t know Him. The teachers at CBC taught so well and really knew what they were talking about to where we could understand the topic or issues.

Faculty and staff were like Jesus with skin on.

Grade A. A totally worthwhile and transformative two years. CBC is highly recommended.

92

Each leader poured into my life, and I think I met with every teacher outside of school. I felt incredibly valued. One of the best parts of the school.

Before CBC I was a young man who loved God. After CBC I was a young man who loved God more deeply, understood discipleship more fully, experienced God more intimately, held a passion for the lost more closely, and who had caught a vision for what God desired of me.

Transforming

93

I really experienced a freedom to be who God called me to be and trust in Him and who He said He was and what His plans and thoughts of me were.

94

It was a time of concentrated, intense, and lasting spiritual formation. There wasn’t an aspect of my walk with Jesus that didn’t grow.

It was just what I needed at that time in my life.

Superb in every way

I became stronger and more confident. I became more knowledgeable and eager for the word of God and my walk was deeply strengthened.

95

CBC has encouraged, enriched and has empowered me to step out into leader‐ship and feel confident with where I stand. I have gained priceless gifts of knowledge through some very wise and intelligent people.

I have learned to be disciplined at work and with life.

I have been able to teach discipleship groups many of the things I learned while at CBC. It has also helped me greatly as I have pursued further education.

96

I’ve been empowered to learn God’s word, speak His word and allow His word to transform my life.

I’ve been empowered to give a defense for my faith, and to do ministry with goals and focuses.

I’ve been empowered to administer biblical wisdom to all of my service and discipline; and to prepare me for a lifetime of ministry; including pastorship, fatherhood, and friendship.

97

I’ve been empowered to know the creator of the universe and to know that I am known by Him. And now I can introduce the world to its maker. (Though He intro‐duces Himself daily, they do not see ‐ they see, but do not understand).

I’ve been empowered to search out, think out and speak out the truth in a humble, servant‐like manner.

I’ve been empowered to teach the word of God rooted from a deeper love and relation‐ship for what He has spoken and is speaking.

98

I’ve been empowered to teach, preach, and live out the life that Christ Jesus has called me to.

I’ve been empowered to spiritually find myself, and guide others as I follow Him.

I’ve been empowered to love!

I’ve been empowered to understand and accept salvation by grace through faith/strive for a holy life/serve God/love God more/seek the Holy Spirit/pray more.

99

I’ve been empowered to build my life and my identity on the truth of the Bible, which I learned to love so much more and which enables me to walk in the ways God has planned for me.

I’ve been empowered to go out and teach people and make disciples.

I’ve been empowered to continue pursuing the purpose that God has placed on my life, to become a missionary in Spanish‐speaking countries
