Bible College is a great opportunity that we are very excited to be able to offer in 2015. Bible College is the place to connect, grow and develop your knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, but more than that - to learn and discover how the Word of God is practical in transforming your everyday life. C3 Bible College will equip and empower you to truly engage and experience the power of God’s Word for your life and is available to everyone. Whether you feel called to ministry, you’re a new Christian or simply want to commit to growing as Christian, we have study options to suit everyone.

It’ as simple as deciding which option is for you! STUDY OPTION 1: Accredited (Online) Certificate IV in Christian Theology & Ministry WHO SHOULD DO THE ACCREDITED STUDY? The accredited Cert IV is for those wanting gain qualifications and experience necessary for ministry. If you feel the call of God to grow as a leader and desire to be equipped to serve, minister and influence people on behalf of Jesus, then the accredited study option is for you. This is a great option for gap-year students, youth leaders or those who feel a call to preaching, pastoring, worship leading or marketplace ministry.

• Study directly with C3 College online. • Have regular mentoring and guidance from our pastors and

connect with other students in a shared learning environment. • Gain practical ministry experience in an area relevant to your gifts

and calling. • Study Full Time: complete your Cert IV over 12 months; this study

option is eligible for Austudy Allowances via Centerlink. • Study Part Time: complete your Cert IV over 2 or 3 years. This

option does not make you eligible for Austudy.

STUDY OPTION 2: Non-Accredited - Night School Study full time or part time at C3 Spectrum Church with the same lesson content and teachings from the accredited Cert IV course. The non-accredited study option has a lower workload and a more casual pace making it perfect for busy people (however this option does not qualify for Austudy or any form of qualification). The night school will run on THURSDAY NIGHTS. WHO SHOULD DO THE NON-ACCREDITED OPTION? This study option is designed especially for those who work or study full time but want to continue to grow and develop as followers of Jesus and as leaders in their families, workplaces and schools. The slower pace of this option makes it totally accessible and an easy ad-on for those who already have a busy schedule. WHO ARE THE LECTURERS? Lesson content is the same for each option, study with some of the greatest and most respected Bible teachers, Pastors and Church leaders from around the planet:

• Dr Phil Pringle • Dean Sweetman • Richard Botta • Mark Saundercock • Pat Antcliff • And more…

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• The non-accredited study option is a Night College, running on Thursday Nights and will cover 4 modules each year.

• Each module is 7-9 weeks long and will start on the first week of each new school term, meaning there is a few weeks break between modules so you don’t ever feel overloaded.

• There are 12 modules, meaning you can do the entire C3 College course at a casual pace over 3 years. Perfect for new Christians or those who have not done any College or study before.

• Alternatively, if you have already done a lot of study, you may want to just pick up a module here and there that takes your interest. Perfect for long term Christians keen to continue to grow and stay teachable.

“One of the greatest things you can do for yourself as a Christian is to develop a

culture around your life of constant learning and growth.”

Many of the parables Jesus spoke had to do with good stewardship and productivity; Jesus expects our lives to be fruitful. But this constant production of fruit requires a constant source of nourishment & input.

Why not try it out for one year? NOTHING WORTH HAVING COMES CHEAP OR EASY The problem we have in our modern society is that we are no longer good at waiting for things. We have instant coffee, microwaves, drive through, Google, and every app imaginable right at our fingertips. We are used to getting everything instantly, but growth and maturity as a follow of Christ is a process. If something is going to have lasting value then it must require our time, our commitment and our money. Relationships, marriage, raising kids, education, careers, owning a home… following Jesus, it all costs us. But we pay the price and make the commitment when we believe the pay off and the return is well worth the investment. Committing a season of your life to be a Bible College student is no small thing, it will take your time and it will cost a little bit of money - but the payoff and the return is monumentally worth what will in hindsight look like a small price to pay for such incredible gain.
