Bible Institutes for
Small Group Studies
in Biblical Higher
Education
Starting your Bible Institute will be simple using the
step-by-step guidelines found in your Launch Kit.
Program
Overview
________________________________________
Simply
stated; the pastor/teacher (who serves as instructor) will present a lecture
using the Bible
Institute materials and then assign several pages
 to be completed in the student workbook.
Or,
the pastor/teacher can
conduct a distance
learning school from
the church. Students do
self-directed studies
and meet to share and
discuss.
This
program goes beyond
typical Bible studies in
that there is additional
study required of the
student as well as
assessment and feedback
of the student learning.
Using
these courses will
reward you with growing
disciples stepping into
leadership thereby
strengthening the local
church. The courses have
been expertly prepared
and organized to take a
Believer from new
convert to disciple to
worker.
How
Is The Instruction
Delivered?
________________________________________
Flexibility
Is The Byword....
Option:
Self-Directed Study
Format:
The
curriculum is designed
for self-paced,
self-directed study. The
classroom is used more
as a laboratory for
practicing what students
have learned in their
books.
Students
gather weekly or monthly
to share what they have
learned or raise
questions for group
settings. The teacher
becomes a discussion facilitator
for the student group.
Group
meetings start in prayer
and worship
followed by a pastor-led
devotional. Students
share what they have
learned in their course.
Students need not take
the same course - they
can study a course of
their choice. Students
who share will gain
valuable teaching
experience and listening
students will be
learning in these
discussions.
This
process is the core of
any vocational pursuit
of ministry!
Option: Lecture
& Classroom
Format:
Popular
classroom schedules include:
Monday or Tuesday evening:
Class #1- 7-7:55
Class #2- 8-8:55
Some churches offer a class during Sunday School and another
before the evening service. Others use Wednesday night for a
class before or after Prayer Meeting.
Other churches have also set up extra "seminar-style"
courses with a single class meeting for three hours on Saturday,
then coming back several weeks later (with the workbook
completed) for a final 3-hour session. Others do one class at a
time, meeting for two-hours per session three times.
Regardless
of the schedule, each class should meet for a total of six
hours, and all workbook assignments must be completed.
