OVERVIEW

The Calvary Chapel School of Ministry is located in Orrington, Maine, and serves as an outreach ministry of CCBangor. The vision of the School of Ministry is to feed and equip God’s people for service. Under the direction of Senior Pastor Ken Graves, the School of Ministry is committed to teaching the Word of God line upon line, precept upon precept.

dISCIPLESHIP

Each student is required to participate in chapel, which includes Sunday and Wednesday evening Bible studies. Practical Ministry is a course designed to cultivate the heart of a servant while helping meet needs around campus, such as landscaping, housekeeping, and all aspects of church ministry.

Each student will also have the opportunity to serve alongside and disciple the men and women in the Calvary Residential Discipleship / Blessed Hope program. CRD programs provide in-house rehabilitation for those struggling with addiction, offering a Christ-centered total cure and ongoing discipleship for anyone involved in life-controlling substances. This is a powerful opportunity for students to gain real, hands-on ministry experience.

This school is intended for serious-minded students who sense the Lord’s call upon their lives—students who are willing to be challenged and shaped into true servants.

Jesus said,
"Whosoever will come after Me, 
let him deny himself,
And take up his cross, and follow Me."
- Mark 8:34

• Missions Outreach Trips: Students may have the opportunity to participate in outreach trips as they become available. The cost for an annual trip typically ranges from $1,200–$3,000.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION:

Upon graduation, each student will be issued a diploma as a Certificate of Completion. We have chosen not to issue degrees, as we do not want the state or an accreditation board to determine what we can or cannot teach.

One of the primary downfalls of Christian institutions of higher education is the pursuit of worldly status. Our desire is to train students to serve the Lord—not to gain recognition from man. The proof of your ministry will be the fruit in the lives of those the Lord places in your care, and that will be your credentials.
