Where the first year sets your foundation in the Word, the second year builds upon it with courses aimed at teaching you to share what you have learned with the world! The emphasis is on learning by doing. The second-year is offered for Day School sessions. Day School runs from 10:00 a.m.-1:10 p.m, Mondays and Wednesdays.  Saturday school runs from 9am-3:20pm.  

​

​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.

​

Upon successfully completing the second-year program, students will receive a A.A. in Biblical Studies and a Ministerial License.  

​

 After graduation for many students, this will fulfill their educational goals, but for those called to full-time ministry they continue on to our third-year Ministry Training.

 

Missions

All second-year students are required to go on a Charis Bible College of San Benito County 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.

​​

  Charis Bible College of San Benito County 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.

​

Mission trips are financed through school supported fund raisers that students organize throughout the year.
