Course Catalog Listing For The 2019-2020 Academic Year
​August 2019 - August 2020

Class Name
Class Description
Core Curriculum
Biblical Hermeneutics The term hermeneutics can be
intimidating. It sounds academic and is foreign to most of our vocabularies.
However, the act of interpretation is as common as communication itself. This
course will instruct in various parameters for biblical interpretation and will
show how specific methods are applied to Bible study.
Yes
Church History This course gives an overview of two thousand
years of Church History. Students will observe that Christianity of the first century
A.D. had its roots in Judaism. It will be shown how that a Greek and Roman mindset
in the Western Church replaced the Hebraic mindset and affected tremendously
the history of Christianity. Focus will be on how the church through the
centuries went through several cycles of revival, apostasy and revival again.
Attention is given to important leaders, significant issues, supernatural
manifestations of the Holy Spirit, and how anti-Semitism came into the Church
and has negatively affected it throughout the centuries.
Yes
Evangelism This course explores
different strategies and motivation for modern day evangelistic effort. Special
attention is given to developing proper methods of evangelism while maintaining
the true message of the Gospel. The course instructs and emphasizes the
necessity of the fruit of the spirit for daily Christian living and witnessing
Yes
History of the Charismatic
Renewal
This course is designed
to synthesize and outline the major American Pentecostal ministries and
movements of the 20th century. This course will address issues pertaining to
methods, fads, doctrines, and theology peculiar to the move of the Holy Spirit.
Specific topics include the formation of Pentecostal denominations, the
Holiness Movement, the Healing Revival, the Charismatic Movement, Shepherding
Theology and the Word Movement.
Yes
Internship The FVBC internship
is a 100-hour hands-on ministry training experience which combines the best
aspects of the student’s education and a standard internship. The specific
activities and opportunities of each internship are individually designed for
each student to provide them with the best possible training for their future
ministry. The interns will focus on serving within the vision of the host
ministry while developing their specific ministerial gifts.
Yes
Ministerial Ethics This course provides an intensive look at
ministerial ethics, both Biblical and practical. It will synthesize and outline
the history and relevance of ethics to equip the student to fulfill their
potential in ministry. Special focus is given to financial, moral, and
professional ethics.
Yes
New Testament Survey 1 The purpose of this
course is to provide an overview of the New Testament Gospels from Matthew
through John. It looks at the life of Jesus the Messiah. The class includes a
brief background study of the inter-testament period between Malachi of the Old
Testament and Matthew of the New Testament. The overview includes authorship,
historical setting, purposes and themes, and other pertinent information, all
working together to place each book in its own setting and clarifying its thought
and message.
Yes
New Testament Survey 2
The purpose of this
course is to provide an overview of the New Testament from Acts through
Revelation. The overview includes authorship, historical setting, purposes and
themes, and other pertinent information, all working together to place each
book in its own setting and clarifying its thought and message.
Yes
Old Testament Survey 1 The emphasis in this
course is not on historical facts but on pertinent truths. The Apostle Paul had
this in mind when he wrote to the Corinthians concerning Old Testament history.
“Now all these things happened unto them (Israelites) for ensamples (examples,
types); and they are written for our admonition (instruction), upon whom the
ends of the world (ages) are come.” I Cor. 10:11. Through the study of the
history of God’s Covenant People, Israel, God’s nature, the sin of man and its
consequences and the great mercy of God is revealed in the plan of redemption.
The “Scarlet Cord” of redemption is seen through the Old Testament from the
beginning. This course is designed to show how the Old Testament contains a
wealth of illustrative material. These become concrete pictures of abstract
truths, thus making it easy to learn to apply truth to life. An attempt is made
to have the Old Testament, “come alive.” This survey will concentrate on the
Pentateuch or the first 5 books of the Old Testament.

books that come after the Pentateuch.
Yes
Preparation and Delivery of
Biblical Messages
This course is an introduction to theories and practices of preaching in
pastoral and liturgical settings. In lecture sessions, students will study the
various dynamics of preaching (theological, hermeneutical, pastoral,
exegetical, ethical, liturgical) and their relation to the regular practice of
preaching. Students will discuss assignments, develop biblical messages,
preach, and offer feedback on other students sermons.
Yes
Research Methods &
Academic Writing
The course introduces the language of academic research,
ethical principles and challenges, and the elements of the research process within quantitative,
qualitative, and mixed methods approaches. The second half of the course helps students to
develop their own style of academic writing.
Yes
Systematic Theology Systematic theology is a discipline which addresses
theological topics one by one (e.g. God, Sin, Humanity) and attempts to summarize all the
biblical teaching on each particular subject. Sometimes called constructive theology or
even dogmatic theology, the goal is to present the major themes (i.e. doctrines) of the Christian
faith in an organized and ordered overview that remains faithful to the biblical witness.
Yes
Spiritual Formation 1 Spiritual Formation
is a foundational course that explores the processes and goals of spiritual
formation in the life of the Christian minister, counselor or leader from a
multi-disciplinary viewpoint including personal, biblical, theological,
psychological, and historical perspectives. The student is introduced to the
historic disciplines and practices of the Christian faith that promote intimacy
with God and Christ-likeness in character with the goal of fostering ongoing
personal vitality essential to ministry and the ability to facilitate spiritual
renewal and consistent discipleship in others.
Yes
The Works of the Holy
Spirit – Apologetics
Jesus said in John 14
that He would pray the Father and He would send another Comforter that would
abide with us forever. One must recognize that the presence of the Holy Spirit
as an experienced reality is a crucial matter for the Christian life, from
beginning to end. The focus of this course is on the person, work and
present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit. Special attention will be given to the
Deity and Person of the Spirit and our personal fellowship with Him. This
course emphasizes the necessity of the Holy Spirit in the personal life and
public ministry of the believer.
Yes
Worship The purpose of this
course is to give the student insight into the spiritual and natural components
which must be resident within the life and heart of those desiring to lead
others in worship. Students shall receive a comprehensive understanding of the
meaning of worship, the source of worship, the object of worship, the
expression of worship – and most importantly the qualities, character, and
practical knowledge necessary to facilitate a life of worship.
