Church-Based Extension Campuses
It
is easy to have your own bible school as an extension campus of GlobalChristians.Org.
The extension campus consists of a small group of students who meet regularly
under the supervision of a pastor or other well-qualified Christian leader.
All marking
is done by the pastor/leader of the extension campus and the results are
sent in to GlobalChristians.Org who then issues the certificates. These certificates
can also include the name of your church, bible college, prison ministry,
or small group.
We do not
yet have government accreditation but we are working towards it. Please
consider this primarily as training in the knowledge of God and toward
effectiveness in ministry, rather than as an academic or career pathway.
Also please note that we cannot help you with personal finances,
equipment, books or with visa applications to the USA.
You may
charge your students a small and reasonable fee to cover the costs of
running your extension campus.
You may
study any of the five different bible-based Certificate
courses or
the Harvestime church-planting
and evangelism course which is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese,
Thai, Russian and Tagalog.
- Apply to GlobalChristians.Org, sending us your statement of faith, your vision
for ministry and organizational details. You can send
these as email attachments - see "contact" button at right.
- Please
include the one-time, non-refundable $75 USD application fee.
This is per church/organization (not per student)
- If you
want an GlobalChristians.Org CD with all the study
materials that is an extra $49.95. The CD will be posted once your payment
is received here in GlobalChristians.Org office.
- Thus
the total cost (application fee plus GlobalChristians.Org CD) of setting
up your extension campus is only $124.95. For this modest amount
you will get all the study modules, ebooks and forms and documents you
require to run your own bible college.
- You then
take your small group through the study material, the
students should read the ebook or module prior to class and then the
pastor or group leaders should teach it, revise it and administer any
exams required.
- The exams and assessment requirements are included on the CD
- Official
GlobalChristians.Org-International certificates of completion can be
sent to those who complete their exams /assignments. These certificates
are in PDF format and cost $5 per student per subject (to cover the
labor involved); you then print out the certificates and give them to
students. The certificate can also include the name of your church,
ministry, or organization.
- There
is an annual renewal fee of $28 payable by 1st January
each year, (excepting campuses set up in December of the immediately
previous year). This is per organization, not per student, and allows
the church/organization to continue its affiliation with GlobalChristians.Org.
- Payments
can be made by check or Paypal here
- GlobalChristians.Org Handbook has instructions on how to run your extension
campus and the online help section
will answer most of your basic questions.
- We recommend
the use of the free E-Sword bible study software.
