11 Charis Bible College of Dallas 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 School 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. Businesscasual 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.

12 Relationship with God Series I-IV Charis Bible School of Dallas SAMPLE COLLEGE 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 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 and New Testaments. 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. Vision Having a vision for your life gives you purpose and direction. This class will help you recognize God s vision for your life and how to stay focused on that vision. We believe that it is not good to have sight with no vision. 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. A Lifetime of Ministry The goal of a young minister should be to be an old minister. This class is a study of the principles needed to establish a lifetime of ministry. Some of the topics covered are your relationship with the Lord, establishing and maintaining character, understanding the anointing, developing a prayer life, renewing your mind to the Word of God, and the essence of the Gospel.

13 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. 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. 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. New Testament Survey Wendell Parr COLLEGE OF PRACTICAL MINISTRY COURSES Second Year This is an overview of the New Testament that notes its place in God s revelation to man. In this class, students will study the author, historical setting, purpose, and theme of each book; special attention is given to some of the key passages. How To Get Along with People Andrew Wommack Someone once said, If it weren t for people, the ministry would be great. However, the ministry is all about people, so it s critically important to learn how to develop relationships and develop them with the right people. When conflict does arise-and it will- it s also crucial to know how to resolve that conflict according to the Word of God. God s solution works, but you have to know it to put it into practice. 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. The Making of a Minister I & II Andrew Wommack Attend Bible College, complete the required courses, receive your ministerial license and an Associates Degree in Biblical Studies. THAT S IT. NO THAT S NOT ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. God s ways are not man s ways. This course will help you understand the difference between man s and God s qualifications for ministers. By the end of this course you will either be determined to prepare your heart or stay as far away from ministry as possible.

14 New Testament Survey Wendell Parr This is an overview of the New Testament that notes its place in God s revelation to man. In this class, students will study the author, historical setting, purpose, and theme of each book; special attention is given to some of the key passages. Ministry of Excellence- Wendell Parr This study presents the moral and ethical characteristics of ministry. The focus is on promoting godly character and integrity in ministry. Contrasts between the way God would have things done and the way the world s system would do them will be covered. Paul s Instructions to Timothy Lawson Perdue In Paul s letters to Timothy, Paul was instructing Timothy as his son in the faith. This teaching covers vital and practical aspects to prepare us for a lifetime of effective leadership. Laws of the Kingdom Barry Bennett This is a study of the spiritual laws that govern creation and how we can cooperate with those laws in order to enjoy victorious Christian living. *The above is a sample of the courses offered and does not include every required course. Courses are subject to change without notice. THIRD YEAR PROGRAM Upon successfully completing CBC s two-year program, you will receive your well-deserved Associates Degree in Biblical Studies and a Ministerial License from Andrew Wommack, Founder and President of Charis Bible College.
