Student Ministries Program
The purpose of this program is to supplement traditional classroom education with experiential learning. It provides a supervised opportunity for the student:
1. To become a disciple-making Christian leader.
2. To develop skills in the practice of Christian ministry.
3. To provide the practical experience needed to solidify what a student has perceived as the call of God into ministry.
4. To clarify the area of ministry into which the student has been called.
Two additional objectives are:
1. To allow participating churches to share in Christian education.
2. To offer practical assistance in a local church setting.
Students will:
1. Spend one hour per week participating in a YBC discipleship small group.
2. Be a member of (or under the watch care of) a local church within six (6) weeks of the first semester’s beginning.
3. Be actively ministering in a local church in their emphasis area or interest. This ministry involvement will require at least one hour per week in the field setting. This does not include preparation time.
4. Be placed with an approved supervisor in that local church.
5. Will report weekly by means of the system established by the college for accountability. The discipleship small group setting will also be a venue for sharing their ministry experiences.
6. Submit a report of their ministry to their small group supervis or twice each semester on or before set dates. A ministry form will be provided. These ministry experiences will be shared in the discipleship small group.
