We announced the idea to begin Bible & Ministry Training at Oil Belt Christian Service Camp.  The goal was to start a new program to continue our mission statement Making Disciples of Jesus Christ Through the Teaching of God’s Word. This program is designed to meet the need of the decline of men and women equipped for church ministry and Christian service. 

Through many prayers and preparation, we are excited to announce this spring we will launch the second semester of Oil Belt Bible & Ministry Training.  There will be 2 classes to apply for. The classes are:

•     New Testament Survey: Begins on Monday nights, January 27th - April 14.  6:00-8:30pm at Oil Belt.  12 sessions
•      Practical Ministry: Begins on Tuesday nights, January 28th - April 15.  6:00-8:30pm at Oil Belt.  12 sessions

What can you expect from each class? 

The Practical Ministry class will focus on what ministers actually do in day-to-day ministry.  Preparing lessons and messages, to hospital calls and ministering to the lost are just a few of the topics we will cover. (Rough Draft Syllabus)

The New Testament (NT) survey will be a survey of the NT but with a focus on how to teach the NT to others in a sermon, Sunday school class or youth lesson.  We don’t want to just train knowledge, but equip students on how to share that knowledge. 

We hope you’ll consider taking one, or both, of these classes this semester. 

Each class will cost $250. Payment will not be required until the first day of class.  There are scholarships available for students. Contact the office for a scholarship application.

As mentioned in an earlier announcement, these classes are not designed to take the place of Bible College. They are instead an entry-level step before Bible College to introduce men and women to ministry, church leadership and equip them with confidence to begin to lead in their church.
