First Year - Foundational Teaching and Ministry Program

Schedule: alternating Saturdays, 10:00am - 4:30pm  

Charis Hybrid is a unique blend of independent study and face-to-face time with instructors and with other students who are determined to go deeper with God. 

You’ll study courses at home, but then join your fellow classmates in person. This interaction will help you put into practice what you’ve studied on your own.  

Charis Hybrid is for the person whose career or family obligations need to be fulfilled, yet has a deep desire to gain an understanding of the Word and wants to grow in relationship with the Lord. And it’s for the person who knows there is more to life than what they are experiencing and wants to discover God’s purpose and plan—while maintaining their everyday life!  

In the Charis Hybrid Program, students meet  every other Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for live teaching, guest speakers, discussions, and more. Most of the courses will be watched from the comfort of your own home, at your leisure. You will be assigned 10–12 fifty-minute lessons from multiple courses each week. You will have the freedom to watch the lessons at your own pace and time during the week.

This uniquely blended program will provide interaction with other students while also giving you the flexibility to complete courses that fit around your schedule.
