• Primary Course Objective: This class is designed to continue to train up and equip Perspective Calvary Chapel Church Planters and their wives. Those that complete 4 semesters of the class, will be evaluated and if you meet the standards of the church board, you 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.
• Secondary Course Objective: This class is also designed to raise up church leaders, men and women alike. To give these students the knowledge to lead Bible Studies, to mentor to 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 requires sacrifices, good health,  and faithfulness!)

Class Schedule/Teaching texts

• 2nd YEAR STUDENTS: TEACHING FROM AN OUTLINE! 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!

• POINTS! EVERY WEEK you will be required to use points in your sermon! When you use points, you should bring up the subject of the points in your introduction, and then bring up your points in the BODY of the sermon! Remember, points are THE BRIDGE between the teaching and the application!
