SYSTEMS IN AN ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM
How is BSM Online compared to the in-person training program? We are not deviating from our fundamental purpose and philosophy of training as a ministerial school. Because of our philosophy of training, we seek to have interactive and engaging classes by maximizing the use of technology and a workable platform for virtual learning. With determination and creativity we have designed systems to enable us to cause the students fulfill the academic and non-academic activities that we have spelled out for their training. Here are some of these systems.
MAKING ATTENDANCE IN AN ONLINE CLASS WORTHWHILE
These few moments were captured from Max Learning Class, BEREAN Online course with Ma’am Zeny Calusay. She emphasized that every time students attend a class session, a learning, a change should take place in their knowledge, understanding, attitude, skill or behavior. That is what will make the time spent attending a class worth it.
BSM ONLINE SY 2022-2023 KICKS OFF WITH TWO CORE COURSES
BSM ONLINE SY 2022-2023 starts with two core courses; namely “Wisdom from Above” (Philosophy of Ministry) with Rev. Rey Calusay and “MAX Learning” (Effective Study Skills) with Rev. Zeny Calusay. The lessons in these two core courses when applied will help the students maximize their benefit from the other courses in the entire training program.

GETTING READY FOR BEREAN ONLINE CLASSES
Berean School of Ministry is a church-based training school of Destiny City Church. The natural setting for ministry training is the local church. It is because of our commitment to church planting and missions that BEREAN SCHOOL OF MINISTRY was started in 1986. We motivate, train and mobilize leaders for the great commission. Hundreds of our graduates are now serving as pastors and leaders in local churches, missionaries in local and foreign mission fields, and influencers and messengers of the
gospel message in the workplaces.
The restrictions due to the COVID19 pandemic led us to start BSM Online in 2021.We are not deviating from our fundamental purpose and philosophy of training as a ministerial school. Using technology and a workable platform, we make adjustments in methodology because of the current situation.
We are excited to start the second schoolyear of BEREAN Online and to tackle the challenges of the virtual setting for teaching and learning. The first few days or even weeks will be challenging both to teachers and students but it could also be fun!
