A FOURTH-YEAR PROGRAM OF MENTORED INTERNSHIP
PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY Our Board of Directors and Faculty believe that Biblical ministry is a holy calling of God and that it must be entered into with diligence. The Christian church needs godly leadership which is competent to proclaim the whole counsel of God in light of time and eternity. The tracks of study listed in this brochure reflect balance between academics, ministry skills and personal spiri tuality. Allegiance to the Scriptures and sensitivity to the needs of people today are essentials.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION The desire of the New Brunswick Bible Institute is to keep the cost of Bible and ministry training as low as possible. All fees should be considered due at the beginning of each semester. Payment of fees may be arranged with the business office. Please review the NBBI catalogue for specific fee information
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF STUDENTS ? Students are expected to cooperate fully and cheerfully in every assigned task by the mentor. Each student must have sixteen to twenty hours of course work per week. Study days should be mutually determined by the student and the mentor. Courses are to be approached with diligence and with a view to maximum learning in view of 2 Timothy 2:15. Neat handwritten work is acceptable. All students must maintain a pleasant and helpful relationship with their hosts and keep their accommodations neat and clean at all times. All confidential matters shared with the student must be kept in absolute confidence. Students are responsible for the cost to and from their place of internship.
HOW DOES THIS MENTORSHIP WORK? All students engage in eight, four-semester hour courses and one two-semester hour course. Four semester hours of credit may be earned for the eight months of practical internship. Each student is required to work with the mentor four days per week for the eight months of the program. Two full days per week are devoted to course work and one day per week should be reserved for rest and personal interests. Completed courses are to be sent to the course advisors. Original course work is to be retained by the student and copies only are to be forwarded to the course advisor. Mentors will be selected by the school with sensitivity to the student, distance and other relevant factors. Care will be exercised to provide the student with godly, and experienced field leadership. Students are ordinarily required to be on campus for the Weekend of Welcome and for the week following, during which time an intensive counselling course will be taught. Travel to the place of internship should be arranged for the Saturday following the oncampus course.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF A HOST CHURCH? It is expected that room and board will be provided for the student. Costs to the student for ministry (fuel) should be assumed by the church or para-church organization
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS All students must successfully pass the course of study, have a satisfactory evaluation by the mentor and have their financial accounts paid in full.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THE MENTORS? Mentors are expected to involve the student in every possible area of ministry such as administration, preaching, teaching (as may be relevant) counselling, visitation, weddings, funerals and any other form of ministry which the mentor conducts. Mentors may assist students by allowing access to church libraries or personal resources. It is intended that the student and mentor will form a ministry team and will work as a "Paul" and a "Timothy" for the glory of God and their mutual benefit. The goal includes practical experience for the student and assistance for the host (church or parachurch organization). Each mentor should be a model of biblical, spiritual leadership.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS PROGRAM? The student will experience prolonged exposure to practical ministry from a seasoned mentor. Academic credit will be earned with a fresh balance between study and personal growth. The student will gain insights not available from a book or a classroom. Good study habits will be reinforced along with personal discipline and ministry skills. The student will be awarded a Bachelor of Biblical studies or a Bachelor of Religious Education Degree
