A BSM ONLINE COURSE OPEN FOR CHURCH PASTORS AND LEADERS: THE CHURCH THAT JESUS BUILT

The restrictions to large gatherings due to the pandemic seem to signal the churches to have a reset from large congregational gathers to house-church meetings. This course was designed and opened for local church pastors and leaders to help them prepare to transition to the house-church system.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will lead students to a look again at the Biblical record of the Church that Jesus built to discover the basic ingredients necessary for the church to continue to be vital, alive, dynamic.  A special focus will be on the church in the homes that was an essential expression of church life in the formative years of church history and its relevance to our present-day situation. It will include discussion on how to transition an existing church into a house-church system. A later part of the course are practical guidelines how to conduct a house church gathering.

COURSE OUTLINE:

UNIT 1 – THE MAKE OF THE CHURCH

Analyzing the Biblical record about the early church: The origin, the purpose and design; discovering the basic ingredients necessary for the church to be vital, alive and dynamic. One lesson will be on evaluation of the church of today in comparison to the Biblical picture and life of the early church.

UNIT 2 – THE MEETING OF THE CHURCH

Rediscovering facts, principles and practices of the early church when they meet, with focus on the church in the homes that was an essential expression of church life in the formative years of church history and its relevance to our present-day situation.

3. THE MOVE OF THE CHURCH

Discovering how the church operates, as communities, as people of God, as ambassadors of Christ. Knowing how they multiplied and expanded – What are the Principles of growth. Studying a Return to the Basics of Church Life – The House Church;  Learn guidelines and HOW TO’s in implementing “Operation Home Base.”

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO JOIN BEREAN Online?

Since we started BSM in 1986, BSM teachers do not receive remunerations. The team of BSM teachers are ministers whose passion is building the Church of Jesus Christ headed by the lead pastors of Destiny City Church Rev. Rey and Zeny Calusay. BSM alumni with proven pastoral and leadership ministries and a few carefully selected guest teachers are invited to teach in specific areas of expertise. Therefore, the cost of training in BSM is kept to cover only that which is needed to give the students the training they need for church planting and pastoral work.
The restrictions due to the pandemic made us decide to go online. Because of our philosophy of training, we hold interactive classes and design appropriate systems for higher engagement levels with our students. To run and maintain this quality online classes required huge investment in state-of-the-art technology, apps to use and subscriptions to online service providers. The following are details how much it will cost for one to join BSM Online.

This student handbook is designed to give students the guidelines on what is expected of them in Berean School of Ministry and consequently and what  we have committed to  do  to prepare them  for the ministry the Lord has called them to fulfill.
