About Christ School of Ministry
Christ School of Ministry is being setup on a unique intermediate plan for learning and allowing those who may already be committed to other college courses or for busy working adults to attend classes.
Courses taught at Christ School of Ministry are college level courses. You will receive the same level of learning as you would if attending any bible college offering degrees.
Christ School of Ministry does not offer a diploma program. No exams, test, or essays are required. Learning is an individual discipline. What you learn depends on how much you apply yourself in the learning process. Students who are seeking to fulfill their calling in the various fields of ministry (pastoral, evangelism, missions, teaching or serving) will be placed in an intern program to further develop them for the positions in which they desire to serve.
Internship
CSM is a dual program: educational and missional. Students may choose to attend CSM for educational purposes only or for an intended missional purpose. Internship will be taken on “off months” from training. December, May, June and July. Those interested in internship will be interviewed by Pastor Shoulders and Pastor Denton. Those deemed eligible for internship will be given a schedule several weeks prior to internship. Students eligible may participate in local, national or global projects to help further advance them in ministry and training. Some internship will involve home ministry within FAC, while others may be placed outside of FAC. If so, those placed outside of FAC, will be under direct supervision of the appropriate Pastor in the church where they will be serving. Pastor Shoulders will have complete approval or denial of students interested in internship and communicate clear guidelines and instructions for students in this program. These missional opportunities will be considered with prayer, discernment and direction from the Lord.
