Instructional Program

The Instructional Program offers an intensive survey of the Bible from Genesis through Revelation within two years. The objective of this instruction is for students to understand and apply the teachings of the Bible to their lives, and to effectively share what they learn with others. In addition, related courses are offered which are designed to equip the student with specific leadership and study skills necessary for ministry.

Ministry Internships

Internship

After successfully completing the first semester of studies, full-time, credit-seeking students are eligible to enroll in the Canby Bible College Internship Program. This program is designed to provide on-the-job training for students who feel a strong call to a particular area of ministry (e.g., youth, children, pastoral care, etc.). Students must apply to become accepted as an intern and make a commitment to the pastor who will be overseeing their ministry activities to serve a minimum of one semester and a maximum of four semesters.

Interns will earn three credits per semester and will be expected to devote at least nine hours per week in their ministry activity. Because of the additional amount of time devoted to internship responsibilities, student interns are strongly encouraged not to work a part-time job. The internship pastor can either be a pastor of New Life Foursquare Church or a pastor of the student's home church. An internship contract will be drawn up between the Canby Bible College Dean, the internship pastor, and the student, listing expectations, criteria, schedules, and other relevant information.

I.D. Program

I.D. is a two-year immersive leadership development program designed to strengthen, instruct, and equip young adults who are passionate about pursuing lives of meaning and ministry. The program creates a lifestyle of growth and dependency on Christ that immerses the student into intense character development, study of God's Word and ministry service. I.D. is not a "cookie-cutter" program, but is designed to challenge students in areas specific to their calling. Students devote themselves to a rigorous program including academic study, devotions, prayer, mentoring, ministry service, outreach and missions trips, and ministry projects.

Students pay tuition of $6,000 per year and have the option of living in a host home. Due to the nature of the program, a limited number of students are accepted. Students receive a total of 12 credits for the program.

Ministerial Licensure

Graduates who receive an appointment to a full-time ministry position in a Foursquare Church are eligible to receive an international license as a minister with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. For more information on the Foursquare Church, visit www.foursquare.org.
