Dear Friend, Charis Bible College is a modern-day miracle. On June 23, 1993, I clearly heard from the Lord to start a Bible college. There couldn’t have been anything further from my mind, but God downloaded a revolutionary way to do it. I was to take 2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also”—and use it as a framework for a school that would do more than just impart biblical knowledge. This school would also provide practical, on-the-job training to prepare students for their next step. The truth is, everyone goes through school. It’s just a matter of whether it’s a safe environment with experienced instructors and mentors or what’s called the “school of hard knocks.” I took the latter route. And I tell you, if you survive, it makes a great testimony. But you’re not guaranteed success that way. Most people die with unrealized potential. That doesn’t have to be you. You don’t have to settle for whatever comes your way. You can lay a sure foundation through Charis Bible College, where instructors with decades of experience equip you to succeed. For over twenty years, Charis has been training and empowering people to do what they were born for. And if you don’t know what you were born for, you will by the time you graduate. More importantly, you’ll be prepared to step into it. This is an investment you won’t regret. In fact, it’s a small price to pay! If the Lord is speaking to you about attending Charis, visit our website for more information. I guarantee it will change your life and the lives of others forever. Remember, preparation time is never wasted time. Andrew Wommack

A Sure Foundation 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 sys-
tem of thought, but challenges us to examine if it is according
to the Word or the world.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Basic Bible Doctrines 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 Pre-
sent-Day Ministry of the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, The Re-
turn of Jesus Christ for His Church, and Heaven & Hell.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Basics of Righteousness 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.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bible Covenants 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.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Biblical Ethics and Morals Greg Mohr, Barry This course is a study of various ethical and moral issues from
Bennett, Beth a Biblical perspective that affect a Christian’s walk with God
Landt and influence with others, including those outside the church.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Discipleship Evangelism Kansas City Staff This course has been designed so that anyone, at anytime,
anywhere can reach an unbeliever, disciple new believers, or
grow with others in the Lord. Students will get a chance to
practice teaching a lesson.Dynamics of Christian Living I-III Various These class hours cover Praise and Worship, Chapel ser-
vices, guest speakers, seminars, workshops, ministry
hours, and conferences that are required attendance
for students. They cover various topics of Christian liv-
ing, testimonies, practical application of the Word of
God in our daily lives.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Essential Truths of the New Testament 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 ex-
tremely interesting but they are not extremely im-
portant. 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 nec-
essarily 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 prob-
ably be what you believe about the essential and foun-
dational truth of the Gospel, because all other truths
must be based and founded on this truth in order to
work.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Excellence in Ministry Greg Mohr This course covers two key aspects of ministry develop
ment and success: 1) Identifying and establishing core
values your life and ministry are grounded in. Compro-
mise, deception and failure are averted when core val-
ues are established in the heart of the minister. 2) The
essential leadership principles necessary for the minis-
ter to both lead people to fulfill his/her vision and
become a leader worth following.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, My Brethren Charla Eastwood This insightful study through the Book 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 scrip-
tural truths and empower you to become more than a
conqueror in the spiritual realm of the Kingdom of God.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fruit of the Spirit Greg Mohr God’s very first words to man connects our success in
life to our fruitfulness. – Gen. 1:28. The kind of fruit
each believer is called to produce is described in Gal.
5:22-23. This is a picture of the life and nature of Jesus.
This course is an in-depth study of each aspect of the
fruit of the Spirit. You will learn the purpose, the re-
wards, and the means to fully develop and manifest the
fruit of the Spirit in your life and ministry.Galatians 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Healing 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holy Spirit I-III 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
How to Get Revelation Greg Mohr, & This course will prepare you to get revelation directly from the
Barry Bennett Word. It will include hands-on practice in small groups.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
In Christ Realities Lawson Perdue A course designed to give us an understanding of our new iden-
tity 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction to Evangelism Guest Nate Tanner The goal of this course is to help Christians see just how easy it
is to share their faith with the lost. God’s greatest revelations
to mankind and how these can be used to inspire faith are intro
duced, as well as, how to share your personal testimony. This
course will help you prepare for the joy of leading people to
Christ.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction to the Bible Barry Bennett A course designed to inspire confidence in the Bible as the Liv-
ing Word of God by understanding its 1) revelation, 2) inspira-
tion, 3) compilation, and 4) preservation.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Let Freedom Reign Arthur Meintjes When we talk about freedom, it means different things to
different people. For many 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, pornogra-
phy or whatever we perceive freedom to be. In this teaching we
will discover that freedom in the New Testament is a gift. In the
New Testament, there is a fundamental reality that we must
understand about true freedom; in Christ we are all made free.Life Foundations Carrie Pickett In the Life Foundations course, you will learn 6 key foundational
truths that will revolutionize your relationship with God, empow-
er you to overcome every attack of the enemy, and give you the
ability to minister to anyone, at any time about anything. The
most important part of a structure is its foundation. These truths
will help you establish a firm foundation in the Word of God.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ministry of Jesus I & II 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Old Testament Survey I-VI 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Possess the Land Barry Bennett In this course you will come to understand the relationship be
tween the children of Israel possessing the Promised Land, and
believers possessing the ‘Land of Promises.’ What does it mean
to possess the Truth, possess eternal life, our new identity in
Christ, our thought life, and God’s prosperity? Finally, how do we
drive out the enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Prayer Ministry Training Daniel Amstutz This course is applicable for any believer who wants to be trained
& Carlie Terradez in “how to minister” to those in need of healing, providing in-
struction not only on what the Bible says about healing, whole
ness and health, but also how to minister to those dealing with
sickness and disease. This is practical, hands on training and will
be a catalyst for a more effective healing ministry in Jesus name.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Principles of Grace and Faith Rick McFarland The purpose of this course is to understand what grace and faith
is and how they operate in our relationship towards God and also
how they operate towards those around us in our daily life. This
course is designed to bring the Christian into a balance of receiv-
ing God’s grace by faith and demonstrating that grace to all those
around us.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Prosperity God's Way Greg Mohr This course is designed to help the student develop the right rela-
tionship with money and run the ove of money out of his/her
soul. Jesus tells us in Luke 16 that faithfulness in that which is ...
(continued)Prosperity God’s Way (continued) east – money – will qualify us to be entrusted with true riches –
eternal souls. These lessons will establish the student in the pur-
pose of prosperity; identify the real enemies of prosperity and
the right attitudes to develop toward finances.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Receiving from God I & II Andrew Wommack This class covers the subjects of Prayer, Healing, and Andrew’s
teachings Blessings and Miracles, and Harnessing Your Emotions.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Relationship with God I & II 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 is it He that causes bad
things to happen to us.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Romans Lawson Perdue Romans - The revelation of righteousness. The Book of Romans is
considered by many as the greatest exposition of Christian Doc
trine 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.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
The First Book of John Lawson Perdue The object of Christianity is our relationship with God - this is a
study through the book of I John.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Heart "Essence" of the Gospel /Arthur Meintjes Guilt, Condemnation and Fear seem to be the motivating factors
that define many Christians’ lives. Guilt, condemnation and fear
among believers has been passed down from generation to gen-
eration because they have been ignorant of the Heart or
“Essence” of the Gospel. For generations people have strug-
gled to believe the truth of the “Almost too Good to be True Gos-
pel”. Because of the ignorance and lack of understanding con-
cerning the Heart 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 to the world!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
What Faith Is and How to Live by It/Charla Eastwood We will be studying how God operated in faith and see that God
gave us the same measure of faith He gave Jesus.School of Practical Ministry—Second Year Courses Required Second Year Courses for Diploma in Biblical Studies The curriculum for the Second Year School of Practical Ministry is given below.

speakers, seminars, workshops, and conferences, and foreign mis-
sion trip, that are required attendance for students. They cover
various topics of Christian ministry, testimonies, practical applicat-
ion in preparation for ministry.Establishing a Prosperous Soul Greg Mohr As a man thinks in his heart, the Bible says, so is he. Learn how im-
portant what you believe down deep is to your suc-cess in the King-
dom and in life, and how to change the way you think.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Faith in a Supernatural God I-II Charla Eastwood This subject deals with recognizing the ability of God through our
lives in ministry. Learning how to appropriate the supernatural
ability of God in our lives, it deals with the supernatural powers
that be, and the authority God has given us over all the power of
the enemy.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Foundational Truths for Godly Ministry/Arthur Meintjes Since day one in the garden it has always been God’s intention and
purpose that every man, woman and child, find and live a life that is
comfortable, gracious, and pleasant! Living our dreams both in lives
and ministry does not only come with the gifting God has given you,
or the opportunities you have but by the process of habitually prac-
ticing, exercising and preparing your gifting! There is nothing more
beautiful for God our Father, than to see us find and live as it were
(in the sweet spot) of our lives and ministry.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Heart Matters Daniel Amstutz Just when you thought you had spirit, soul and body understood,
then you hear about the importance of getting the Word of God
from your head to your heart. If I’m a three part being, where does
that fit? Is the spirit the heart? What about evil thoughts coming
from men’s hearts as Mark 7:21 states? If my spirit is made new in
Christ and complete in Christ, then if my heart is my spirit, how can I
doubt in my heart according to Mark 11:23? Is there something
wrong with my spirit? Is it possible for your heart to be in neutral? Is
it possible for your soul to be in control instead of your spirit? This
course deals with all this and way more as we unpack why your heart
matters.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
How to Flow in the Gifts Greg Mohr God gives us specific instruction in I Cor. 12:1 not to be ignorant of
spiritual gifts. Yet this is something many Christians and churches are
most ignorant about. These wonderful gifts are given to us to access
when our knowledge of the Word (not the Word) and natural re-
sources are not enough to get ourselves and others through a diffi-
cult time in life. The basis of our study will be from I Cor. 12, 13, &
14. The goal of this course is to equip each student to understand, be
comfortable with, and confident in releasing and operating the gifts
in order. We will provide time during class to activate the gifts.How to Get Along with People Andrew Wommack Someone once said, “If it weren’t for people, the ministry
would be great.” However, the ministry is all about people,
so it’s critically important to learn how to develop relation-
ships and develop them with the right people. When con-
flict does arise—and it will—it’s also crucial to know how to
resolve that conflict according to the Word of God. God’s
solution works, but you have to know it to put it into prac-
tice.

Leadership Lessons from Nehemiah/Lawson Perdue Keys of effective leadership that enabled Nehemiah to mo-
tivate God’s people to accomplish an amazing task in rec-
ord time.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Life of Christ Greg Mohr God has given each of us a unique purpose and destiny to
fulfill. Yet our highest purpose is to be conformed to the
image of His Son – Rom. 8:28-29. This course is a study in
how you may appropriate and manifest the life of Christ –
His character and nature – in the earth today. The focus of
this teaching is to help you identify and yield to the image
of Christ and to walk in Christlikeness.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Living in Balance Greg Mohr Life is filled with temptations to live in extremes. A success-
ful and stress-free life and ministry requires achieving a
proper balance between sure principles that seem to op -
pose one another. This course will help you live in a
healthy tension between the following principles: grace
and faith, the ministry of the Word and the Spirit, vision
and wisdom, sound doctrine and unity of the brethren,
love and discipline, compassion and confrontation, for-
giveness and trust, and being led by the Spirit and submis-
sion to authority.Making of a Minister I & II Andrew Wommack Attend Bible College, complete the required courses, re-
ceive your ministerial license and ordination papers, and
then you are a minister, right? Wrong! God’s ways are
not man’s ways. This course will help you understand the
difference between man’s and God's qualifications for
ministers. By the end of this course you will either be
determined to prepare your heart or stay as far away
from ministry as possible.

New Testament Survey I & II Wendell Parr This is an overview of the New Testament that notes its
place in God’s revelation to man. In this class, students

theme of each book; special attention is given to some of
the key passages.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Practical Skills for Godly Relationships Arthur Meintjes One of the greatest challenges in life is to get along with
other people around us, may it be in the work place, at
home and at Church or in ministry. Up to 87% of our suc -
cess in life is directly related to our ability to get along
with other people. The problem with relationships is that
90-95% of the people that we deal with in life are either
moderately or severely insecure people. To compound
this, most of the time we are also insecure ourselves and
herein lies the problem. There is nothing that kills a rela-
tionship or a vision, and a ministry quicker than personal
and unresolved insecurities. It is important to realize that
getting along with other people has more to do with us
than it has to do with them. Even though knowing God’s
love will effortlessly change us and influence the way we
relate to others, we sometimes still need to practically
work on getting along with other people.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Principles of Godly Leadership Andrew Wommack The Bible is full of examples in leadership. Surprisingly,
most of the greatest leaders recorded in the Bible were
not those voted most likely to succeed. What did God
see in them that men could not? Maybe, the same things
He sees in you. In this course, Andrew teaches about
their characteristics, their character, and the principles
that operated in their lives. This course is a must for eve-
ry believer.Spirit Led Life & Ministry Dean Hawk This course is designed to assist you in the development of your
divine communication with the Heavenly Father by hearing and
knowing the voice of the Holy Spirit. Topics will include: How to
recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit, “Is it me, God or the dev-
il?”; Different ways the Holy Spirit will lead and guide; Testing
what you hear; Flowing in the anointing of God and the Gifts of
the Holy Spirit; The voice of wisdom and daily walking in His per-
fect will.

The Laws of the Kingdom Barry Bennett A study of the spiritual laws that govern creation and how we
can cooperate with those laws in order to enjoy victorious Chris-
tian living.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Who Is Man? Arthur Meintjes Just as there is a grossly inaccurate concept and belief about
God in the hearts of so many believers today, there is also an
equally destructive and crippling belief in the hearts of be-
lievers about the value of man. One thing that we must under
stand about religion and legalism is that it is designed to destroy
all dignity and worth. That is why people who are deeply in
volved in religion and legalism invariably end up with no sense of
self-worth, value or dignity. If we as Christians are not taught
and instructed in a proper Biblical sense of self-worth that is
based on gospel truth, we will always struggle to get Bible truth
to work in our lives on a consistent basis. If what we believe
does not make us feel good about our relationship with God and
good about ourselves, it will be very difficult to get the truth of
the New Testament to work for me on a consistent basis.Third Year Leadership Track
