College of Christian Ministries – University of the Nations

This school provides students with a solid understanding of the Inductive Bible Study approach, equipping them with tools for life. Students read the entire Bible aloud. Various teaching and learning styles are used and explored, covering all kinds of genres.

Books from both the Old and New Testaments are studied inductively: Acts, Philemon, John, Romans, James, Peter, Hebrews, Revelation, 2 and 3 John, Jude, Genesis, Kings, Jeremiah, Psalms, and Proverbs. A New Testament Timeline and an Old Testament Timeline are also created.

Studying for a Life Change is what we do, and Transformation is a key element of the course.

This course provides a way to learn how to integrate Scripture into various aspects of life, such as evangelism, worship, and intercession.

Students learn to memorize and meditate on the Word. They have the opportunity to gain experience in facilitating Bible studies for small groups and to refine their skills in teaching and preaching the Word. They study Hebrew poetry through Psalms and Proverbs, explore wisdom literature through Proverbs, and delve deeply into the historical background of all the books studied. They also learn mapping and the geography of the periods. Students are taught how to think, learn, and study.

The goal of BCC is to equip students with tools and skills for a lifetime of effective Bible study and ministry. Transformation is the key overarching goal:

• Biblical worldview,
• Deeper intimacy with God,
• Renewed mind,
• Becoming more like Christ.

Course Format:

1. Interactive classes
2. Self-study

Students will gain proficiency in mapping the biblical world. They will learn to conduct various types of studies, such as Greek and Hebrew word studies, topical inductive studies, profiling, comparisons, contrasts, and character studies.
