THE ROLE OF THE COURSE IN THE BSM TRAINING PROGRAM:
Included in the 5M’s of the BSM philosophy of training is morals. We believe that the minister, above all, needs more than just academic qualifications. He needs the spiritual character development to qualify in the ministry. BSM is concerned not only with the academic development and ministry skillfulness of the students. We set Biblical standards for spiritual and character maturity, godly values system and lifestyles which are consistent with the high calling of the ministry. At the beginning of the school year, we see our students as God’s raw material that can be molded into the kind of people God wants them to be, contingent to their willingness to cooperate in God’s work of grace.

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.
