This listing is more of a guide
and is subject to change at the Holy Spirit's direction.
There will not be a set schedule as to when courses will
be taught and subjects may be taught for any length of time. Each
week, semester and every year will be different as the Holy Spirit leads into new realms of revelation and emphasis.
Bible Study Methods: The
inductive study skills taught in this class will be foundational
for many other courses. The methods taught will involve seeing
the truth (observation), discerning its meaning (interpretation),
and applying its truth to students' lives (application).
Gifts of the Spirit: This is a study of the purpose and place of
the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the church, along with practical
instruction on cooperating and flowing with the Spirit, which
enables the student to become a vessel He can use.

importance of prayer in the life of every believer, which will also discuss
the varied aspects of prayer, intercession, and travail.

biblical foundation for praise and worship, including renewal
trends in the church. It will also examine the necessity of believers living a "lifestyle of
worship."

by Forerunner Ministries will explore the inner workings of Jesus'
ministry of salvation, healing and deliverance in students'
personal lives. It will also involve training the students to minister using
these truths.
HANDS-ON OUTREACH MINISTRY:
Opportunities include - assistance with Adult, Youth and Children's
classes, worship, street ministry and the ministry of helps.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS:
To be eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion, students
must meet the following criteria:
1. Satisfactorily complete two semesters of course requirements (including reading 8-10 Books while in school).
2. Participation in outreach and inreach ministry.
3. Class attendance requirements fulfilled (see page under Attendance).
Second Year Program: Specialized training and mentoring will be
available to students for specific areas of ministerial calling. The emphasis
will be on hands-on experience and application.
Third Year Intern Program: Internships provide an opportunity to experience the Kingdom culture of leadership first hand. Our program is tailored to meet both the interns calling and the ministry of the person for whom they will intern. In addition to time spent with one’s leader and learning ministry by serving, it includes; individual pastoral oversight led by Bonnie Johnson & Paul Manwaring, coaching, leadership training (including some sessions with our Senior Leadership team) and regular time with other interns to build relationship.
Internships generally center on the five-fold ministry, and youth, children, worship, prayer, missions, etc. They are primarily available to those called to career ministry in the church, although those who intend to lead in other realms of society could potentially be considered.
Applicants must have completed at least the 1st year of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. However, as a general rule, we recruit & prefer those who have also completed 2nd year as well because we think the 2nd year program is an explosive time of growth and produces higher quality leaders.
All applicants must have consistently demonstrated a high standard of personal integrity, character and motivation. Internships can be served at Bethel Church or other locations where there is a relationship that supports the expectations of the program. The cost is $500, which includes the cost of required books.
Licensing and Ordination: Bethel School of Ministry does
not license or ordain at this time, but will assist students who qualify in obtaining
licensing or ordination through other reputable organizations.
