Time Commitment
Beyond the 3 hours of class, expect 4-8 hours of homework each week. Much of this is reading, workbook, class presentations, and Bible study. Completion of the program is based on class participation and homework completion, rather than a letter grade.
Students are to complete 100 hours of ministry service as their practicum to receive valuable hands-on experience and training in a specialized area of ministry. Service hours can be completed at Northside, another church, or even a non-profit Christian ministry. Scheduling is determined by the supervising minister/director.
