Dear Friend,

Thank you for your interest in Charis Bible College. We would like to invite you to be a

part of a wonderful journey in discovering God’s amazing love for you. We are forever grateful

for the life-changing teaching we received as students at Charis Bible College. Investing two

short years has yielded a personal relationship with God beyond measure.

Charis Bible College offers teachings by Andrew Wommack, Wendell Parr, Barry

Bennett and our other excellent instructors. They have accumulated decades of experience in

ministry, which will help you in developing your personal relationship with God. Relationship

with God is everything and is the “why” behind all we do here at Charis Bible College. Life

giving teachings, immersion in the Word, intimate praise and worship, mentoring and modeling

by staff and leadership create an environment for learning and transformation.

Many students enroll for personal development and growth, others to gain the practical

knowledge and experience required to succeed in ministry. Whatever God is leading you to do,

preparation time is never a waste of time! Attending Charis Bible College will equip you to

step out in the unique way God has called You and change your life and the lives around you

forever.

Peace and Grace,

David & Olga Lund David & Olga Lund Directors of Charis Bible College Wisconsin

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

The Scriptures: We believe that all of Scripture (both the Old and New Testament) is verbally inspired by God and is our final authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (II Tim. 3:16-17). God: We believe in only one true God; One in essence, nature, and attributes, but existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (I Jn. 5:7). Jesus Christ: We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, of His shed blood on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins, of His bodily resurrection and ascension to the Father’s right hand. We do not believe that He is a way to the Father, but rather the only way through which we can receive righteousness, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. He is, in fact, our salvation (I Cor. 1:30-31). Holy Spirit: We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, expressed with speaking in tongues according to Acts 1:8, 2:4, 9:17, 10:44-46, 11:15-16, and 19:6. We believe this experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new birth, and can be received by faith (Gal. 3:2). Salvation: We believe that all who, in repentance and faith, receive the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord are born again (Acts 20:20-21; Rom. 10:9-13). Healing: We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has provided healing for the human body (Mt. 8:16-17; Isa. 53:4; I Pet. 2:24). The Resurrection: We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; one to everlasting life and one to everlasting damnation (Mt. 25:46). The Second Coming: We believe in a literal, physical second return of the Lord Jesus Christ (I Th. 1:10, 4:16-17). The Church: We believe that the universal church is comprised of all true believers who have received salvation through Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). We also believe in and encourage fellowship with a local church (Heb. 10:25). Gifts of the Spirit: We believe that spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit are for the common good and building up of others today (I Cor. 12:7).

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS AND DRESS CODE

Standards of Progress Charis Bible College has three basic standards by which students' progress is measured: grace, servanthood, and character. Detailed below are "guideposts" by which the working out of these truths may be measured, not a formula by which these qualities may be attained. As a believer we already posses everything we need in Christ, but must yield our souls and bodies so that these qualities are manifested in our thoughts and actions.

Grace: Second Peter 1:2-3, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue." Charis is the Greek word for grace. The grace of God is God's favor given to every believer who by faith puts his or her trust in Jesus Christ. Grace is multiplied in your life as you relate with other people. The grace of God, His ability working in you, is manifested as you are willing to listen and understand the heart of your teachers and fellow students, as you exercise forgiveness, as you see the best in people and overlook human faults, and as you are enabled to work with those you may disagree with.

Servanthood: As disciples of Jesus Christ, students at Charis Bible College value and walk in humility and servanthood. They are willing to put the needs of others ahead of their own desires, and find opportunities on their own to serve the school, staff, fellow students, and others.

Character: It is defined by the example of our Lord Jesus Christ and further explained by the writers of the Bible. This is measured by your attendance record, faithfulness in paying tuition, obeying rules, and living by the highest moral and ethical standards.

Conduct

We expect all students of Charis Bible College to conduct themselves to the best of their abilities, in agreement with the teachings of Jesus, both on and off campus, at all times while enrolled as students.

Dress Code Modesty and good taste are considered the principle guidelines for all students while on campus.

Business-casual dress for men and women that is clean and neat is appropriate for classes and daily campus activities. Occasionally, circumstances may dictate a more formal dress. On such occasions,

dresses for ladies are appropriate. Suits, or sport coats with ties, are considered formal for men.

SAMPLE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS This is a sample of the courses offered and does not include every required course. Courses are subject to

change without notice.

BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE First Year

Relationship with God Series I-IV This is a 16-lesson study that emphasizes four important truths about God and man’s relationship with Him. The Nature of God is a study of God that distinguishes between His character and His acts, contrasting the Old Testament with the New Testament. Hardness of Heart deals with one of the major barriers that keeps us from accepting all of God’s truth. Authority of the Believer helps us receive the blessings God has for us and shows us how to stop Satan from robbing us. God’s Not Guilty shows us from Scripture that God is not the author of our problems, nor does He cause bad things to happen to us. The Basics of Righteousness I & II This class teaches about our Spirit, Soul, and Body and Identity in Christ. Spirit, Soul, and Body is a study that explains how our spirits are complete in Jesus if we are born again and how our souls and bodies should relate to our spirits. The Identity in Christ study shows us from Scripture who we are in Christ—our righteousness and justification. Receiving from God I-IV This class covers the subjects of Prayer, Healing, Blessings and Miracles, and Harnessing Your Emotions. Introduction to the Bible In this course you are introduced to how our Bible came into being, the manuscripts and documents of the Bible, the Bible and its translation, and the Bible and recent discoveries. Galatians Foundational and doctrinal truths found in this book will be studied. Students will learn about righteousness: how Jesus provided it and why it can’t be earned, only received. They will also learn about grace: God’s grace extended toward us and how that applies to our lives. Romans This course is designed to provide an exegetical overview and in-depth study of Paul's epistle to the Romans. Timeless theological messages are discussed. “Discipling Through Romans” discipleship material is utilized in a classroom situation. A Sure Foundation I & II Two subjects are covered in this class. The Integrity of the Word expounds on the truth, surety, and infallibility of God’s Word. Christian Philosophy shows us that we all have a system of thought, but challenges us to examine if it is according to the Word or the world.

5

Bible Covenants I & II The purpose of this study is to learn about the nature of God as revealed in the covenants He has made with men, in order to develop our faith in God as a way of life today. We will begin with God’s covenants with Adam, Abraham, and Israel, and then we will consider the new covenant fully revealed in the New Testament. Prosperity This study begins with proof that God wants all of us to prosper in every area of our lives. The study continues with the laws of prosperity. This is a first- and second-year class.

SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL MINISTRY COURSES Second Year

About Second Year classes

Second-year courses such as New Testament Survey, Ministry of Excellence, Discipleship Evangelism, and Making of a Minister further progress your training. In addition to regular classes, students also engage in Inter-Action Groups (IAGs) – small workshops designed to help you fine tune and practice skills such as public speaking, preparing teachings, prayer, etc.

Missions All second-year students are required to go on a CBC planned mission trip as part of their requirements for graduation. We believe that mission trips are a valuable part of ministry training. Students learn how to function as a team in a foreign culture and unfamiliar surroundings, as well as, how to share the Gospel and communicate through an interpreter. These are life-changing trips. Even if you don’t plan to minister on foreign fields, these trips will expand your world vision and grant you insight to help those who are called to missions.

CBC mission trips are typically between 7-10 days in length. Trips are scheduled throughout the school year and require students to minister through teaching, evangelism, prayer, and drama to both adults and children of different nations. Locations change from year to year based upon hosts and scheduling restrictions. Previous locations for many of our CBC colleges have included: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Germany, Russia, India, Thailand, Uganda, Kenya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Argentina and Ecuador. Mission trips are financed through school supported fund raisers that students organize throughout the year. Each student has the opportunity to earn “Mission Points” towards their trip. Any balance between the cost of a student’s trip and the “points” they have accrued will need to be paid by the student by a pre-determined date before they can graduate at the end of their second-year.
