First Year Program Courses

This program includes instruction in Relationship with God, Basics of Righteousness, Receiving from God, Old Testament Survey, and many other classes that will give the student a solid biblical foundation. Emphasis will be on faith, grace, and walking with the Holy Ghost through the work of the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Another aspect of the Bible Training Institute program is "practical ministry." Academics are important, but those who are going into the ministry must know how to do the work of the ministry. We strive for a balance between a knowledge of Scripture and practical ministry experience.

A student enrolled in the Bible Training Institute program will be required to volunteer 25 hours per term in practical ministry in either a local church, Andrew Wommack Ministries, Charis Bible College, or any CBC-approved ministry from more than a hundred that are headquartered in Colorado Springs. There are many opportunities to serve depending on one's interests, talents, and available time.

Through the Bible Training Institute, a student will not only be prepared with a proper biblical understanding, but will receive training in the practical application, to meet the needs of God's people and to bring the lost into the kingdom of God.

Upon the satisfactory completion of this program, a student will receive a Certificate of Completion. Students must finish this program before entering the second-year program.
