Charis Bible College of PhoenixDOCTRINAL STATEMENT The Scriptures: We believe that all of Scripture (both the Old and New Testament) is verbally inspired by God and is our final authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (II Tim. 3:16, 17).

God: We believe in only one true God; One in essence, nature, and attributes, but existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (I Jn. 5:7).

Jesus Christ: We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, of His shed blood on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins, of His bodily resurrection and ascension to the Father’s right hand. We do not believe that He is simply “a” way to the Father, but rather the only way through which we can receive righteousness, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. He is, in fact, our salvation (I Cor. 1:30-31).

Holy Spirit: We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, expressed with speaking in tongues according to Acts 1:8; 2:4; 9:17; 10:44-46; 11:15, 16; and 19:6. We believe this experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new birth, and can be received by faith (Gal. 3:2).

Salvation: We believe that all who, in repentance and faith, receive the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord are born again (Acts 20:20-21; Rom. 10:9-13).

Healing: We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has provided healing for the human body (Mt. 8:16, 17; Isa. 53:4; I Pet. 2:24).

The Resurrection: We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; one to everlasting


life and one to everlasting damnation (Mt. 25:46).

The Second Coming: We believe in a literal, physical second return of the Lord Jesus Christ (I Th. 1:10; 4:16-17).

The Church: We believe that the universal church is comprised of all true believers who have received salvation through Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). We also believe in and encourage fellowship with a local church (Heb. 10:25).

Gifts of the Spirit: We believe that spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit are for the common good and building up of others today (I Cor. 12:7-12).

Charis Bible College of PhoenixSTANDARDS 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 possess 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 College 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.


Frequently Asked Questions School

What does Charis Bible College (CBC) have to offer that other Bible schools don’t?A thorough study of the Word of God through fellowship, teaching how to apply the Word to your life and ministry. It’s a place where you can get your questions answered according to the Word of God, and much more through developing an intimate relationship with your heavenly Father instead of practicing ‘religion.’ We are a grace school where you learn the truth about the love of God, and how to walk in the freedom of His love.

Do I have to be a member of the church?We believe that we, as the body of Christ, are the “church” however, CBC recommends that you attend church and worship services regularly, and serve in a local congregation. You will learn foundational truth that will help guide you to a local church fellowship if needed.

Why should I attend CBC?If there is a stirring and desire inside of you to attend, CBC can help you to recognize if it’s a call to ministry, and/or a call to a deeper relationship with and understanding of God. Feel free to ask current CBC students and staff, who are all CBC graduates, for their personal testimonies which we believe will encourage your decision. We have seen awesome inner and physical healings, and well as other tremendous changes in people as they learn the Word of God that sets them FREE!

When can I enroll?NOW! CBC Phoenix allows an “open enrollment” and regular classes start at CBC Phoenix after Labor Day. Staff can answer your open enrollment questions if you are unable to begin your studies at CBC Phoenix at the beginning of each school year.

Charis Bible College of Phoenix --SAMPLE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS This is a sample of the courses offered and does not include every required or possible course. Courses are subject to change without notice.

BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE - First Year

Course Title: A Sure Foundation I & II Class Hours: 10Instructor: Andrew Wommack 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.

Course Title: The Basics of Righteousness I & II Class Hours: 10Instructor: Andrew Wommack 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.

Course Title: Relationship with God I-IV Class Hours: 20Instructor: Andrew Wommack This study 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 Testament with the New Testament. Hardness of Heart deals with one of the major barriers that keep 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.

Course Title: Receiving from God I-IV Class Hours: 20 Instructor: Andrew Wommack This class covers the subjects of Prayer, Healing, Blessings and Miracles, and Harnessing Your Emotions.

Course Title: Old Testament Survey I – VI Class Hours: 60Instructor: Wendell Parr This is an overview of the Old Testament. 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.


Course Title: The Holy Spirit I - III Class Hours: 30Instructor: Wendell Parr This is an exciting class that discusses the Person and the work of the Holy Spirit. Not only will you learn how He has worked throughout history, but how He works in your life.

Course Title: Healing Class Hours: 10Instructor: Barry Bennett The Christian life includes physical health for all who believe. It is as much God’s will that we be physically whole as it is that we be born again. Before anyone can have faith for healing, they must be certain of God’s will. Faith cannot go beyond the knowledge of God’s will and God’s ways in the area of health and healing. This course will establish principles for health and healing and will explain healing in terms of the spirit, soul and body of man. We will learn what is required of us as faith filled Christians, and what is God’s part in the process of receiving health in our bodies.

Course Title: Introduction to the Bible Class Hours: 10Instructor: Barry Bennett A course designed to inspire confidence in the Bible as the Living Word of God by understanding its 1) revelation, 2) inspiration, 3) compilation, and 4) preservation.

Course Title: Galatians Class Hours: 10Instructor: Barry Bennett Paul’s inspired letter which is often referred to as the ‘Magna Carta’ of Christian liberty is reviewed and studied in terms of its great themes: grace, revelation, our identity in Christ, faith, the Law vs. the blessing of Abraham, and life in the Spirit.

Course Title: The Ministry of Jesus I & II Class Hours: 20 Instructor: Barry Bennett An overview of the culture and context of Jesus’ life and ministry that will deal with His manner of teaching, the content of His teaching and His declarations about Himself, His relationship with the Father, the Word, the devil, sin, faith, prayer and the Holy Spirit.

Course Title: Romans Class Hours: 10Instructor: Lawson Perdue Romans - The revelation of righteousness. The Book of Romans is considered by many as the greatest exposition of Christian Doctrine anywhere in the Bible. The revelation of righteousness is the revelation of the gospel. In this class we see: the need for the provision of, the way to and the power of righteousness revealed in Christ and received by faith.

Course Title: Bible Covenants Class Hours: 10


Instructor: Lawson Perdue 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.

Course Title: Basic Bible Doctrines Class Hours: 10Instructor: Lawson Perdue Bible doctrine will be covered in this course. Subjects include The Scriptures Inspired, One True God and The Trinity, The Deity of Jesus Christ, The Fall and Salvation of Man, The Present Day Ministry of the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, The Return of Jesus Christ for His Church, and Heaven & Hell.

Course Title: The First Book of John Class Hours: 10 Instructor: Lawson Perdue The object of Christianity is our relationship with God - a study through the book of I John.

Course Title: In Christ Realities Class Hours: 10 Instructor: Lawson Perdue A course designed to give us an understanding of our new identity in Christ, the value of our identity in Christ, and how that identity helps us fulfill the purpose and plan of God in our lives.

Course Title: What Faith Is and How to Live By It Class Hours: 10 Instructor: Dan Funkhouser We will be studying how God operated in faith and see that we also have the same measure of faith in our lives. We will discover that faith operates from our heart and our confession of God’s Word.

SAMPLE BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE (1st year) COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Continued

Course Title: Discipleship Evangelism Class Hours: 24Instructor: Ken and Shelley Settles, othersA 48-lesson condensed course developed by Don Krow and Andrew Wommack for introducing Jesusto a person who may nothing about Christ and developing that person into a student of the Word.

Course Title: Only Believe Class Hours: 10Instructor: Rose Gonyer Only faith pleases God, the just shall live by faith, and be it done unto you according to your faith are only a few of the scriptures concerning faith. This class teaches the practical application of our faith and how to live daily by faith and not by sight.


Course Title: The Heart “Essence” of the Gospel Class Hours: 10Instructor: Arthur Meintjes Because of the ignorance and lack of understanding concerning the Heart or “Essence” of the Gospel, very few people know and relate to God the way that he is revealed in the New Testament. The Heart or “Essence” of the Gospel is all about God revealing His Goodness, Love, Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness and true nature to a Tired, Worn out, and Hopeless world!

Course Title: Essential Truths of the New Testament Class Hours: 10 Instructor: Arthur Meintjes There are many truths in the Bible, but not all the truths in the Bible are essential and foundational. That means that there are many things in the Bible that are extremely interesting but they are not extremely important. There are also many truths that are important, sometimes even extremely valuable, but they are not essential. The big tragedy is that many times the truths that Christians major on, and build their lives upon, are non-essential or non-foundational truths. It will not necessarily be what you believe about healing or prosperity that will determine whether you will fall or stand when you’re sick, or when you’re in poverty. It will most probably be what you believe about the essential and foundational truth of the Gospel, because all other truths must be based and founded on this truth in order to work.

Course Title: Let Freedom Reign Class Hours: 10 Instructor: Arthur Meintjes When we talk about freedom, it means different things to different people. For the majority of believers, freedom in a Christian’s life is only achieved through great sacrifice and hard work. When we have sacrificed and labored long and hard enough, we are ultimately rewarded with freedom; freedom from sin or freedom from bondage such as from drugs, alcohol, pornography or whatever we perceive freedom to be. We will discover that freedom in the New Testament is a gift. Whenever you study the subject of freedom, as seen in the New Testament, there is a fundamental reality that we must understand about true freedom; in Christ we are all born free.

Course Title: Finally, My Brethren Class Hours: 10Instructor: Dr. Delron Shirley This insightful study through the first five and a half chapters of Ephesians will cover the foundational steps that Apostle Paul laid out before his often-quoted statements about putting on the spiritual armor. This course will enlighten new scriptural truths and empower you to become more than a conqueror in spiritual conflict.

Course Title: Your Home Can Survive in the 21st Century Class Hours: 10Instructor: Dr. Delron Shirley Delron Shirley asked the question, “Can your home survive in the 21st century?” In this course the question is answered with a resounding, “Yes! And not just survive—thrive!”

Course Title: Israel – Key to Human Destiny Class Hours: 10


Instructor: Dr. Delron Shirley It is so tiny that no world map can even squeeze its name on the space allotted it on the layout, yet Israel dominates our evening news every night. How is it that this miniscule blob of color with an arrow from the Mediterranean Sea identifying it as a nation, can so engulf the interest of the total human race that it takes precedence on the front page of almost every newspaper and tabloid? Why can one little country of a few million people tie up the wealth, the foreign policy, and the political movements of the greatest nations on earth? Explore these intriguing ideas and more in this class.

Course Title: Three Days that Changed the World Class Hours: 6Instructor: Dr. Jim RichardsEvery aspect of salvation, i.e. born again, healed, delivered, blessed, prospered, protected, made whole, set apart, and all that's promised in Christ, is dependent on what we believe about the resurrection of Jesus. Salvation wasn't finished on the cross; salvation was finished after Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father and received the inheritance which He freely shares with all who believe.

Course Title: Miracles, Science and the Bible Instructor: Dr. Jim Richards Class Hours: 7 Imagine people thousands of years ago trying to explain scientific information with the words, examples and technology available at that time. This course will unravel the mysteries. It will show you that the most up to date scientific discoveries verify what God inspired thousands of years ago. The entire scientific community is rethinking its concepts of God, creation and the miraculous. They are finally confirming what the Bible has taught for thousands of years!

Course Title: Fingerprint of Grace Class Hours: 10Instructor: Dan OlinFrom eternity past God has desired to have a partner in the earth with whom He could share Himself. Religion has told man that there is a great chasm between God and man - that we are "fallen and we can't get up"! Through Jesus, God restored man back into His grace "in which we stand". What is Grace? What is its purpose? How do we recognize its workings? and How do we not only stand strong in it but "have our being" in it? The answers to these questions will eliminate forever the image of man simply being on "this side of the fall."

Course Title: Excellence in Ministry Class Hours: 10 Instructor: Greg Mohr This course covers two key aspects of ministry development and success: 1) Identifying and establishing core values your life and ministry are grounded in. Compromise, deception and failure are averted when core values are established in the heart of the minister. 2) The essential leadership principles necessary for the minister to both lead people to fulfill his/her vision and become a leader worth following.

Course Title: Fruit of the Spirit Class hours: 10Instructor: Greg Mohr


Fruit is naturally born out of relationship with God. This study of Galatians 5:22 will make the realities of the fruit of the Spirit come alive and active in you.

Course Title: Four Keys to Hearing God’s Voice Class hours: 10Instructor: Dr. Mark VirklerFor those who lack confidence that they can and do regularly hear God’s voice talking to them, this is transformational class in drawing near and learning how to listen. For those who already experience hearing God, this class can bring deeper intimacy with practice.

Plus, optional classes from the library are available to help you grow deeper.
