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. Your
students can even go on to earn a Bible degree from Patriot Bible
University without leaving your church!.
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.
