Hey awesome man! I went to a small (like 50-60 students depending on the year) Bible College for 2 years, finished with a Christian Ministry Degree. I worked for the school for one year after this, doing enrollment/recruitment during that time. I wasn't suited for the recruitment stuff, but loved to talk to students about their futures and see that very small minority want to give up some of their time and money to take studying God and the Bible very seriously.

But back to you... that is great! I would tell the people that I talked to that I didn't really care where they went to Bible College, as long as they went where they felt God calling them. You will be pumped full of information; it's like drinking from a firehose haha. It is what you make it though: I wasted lots of my first year just aiming to do the assignments instead of learning sincerely about what the professors were trying to get through to us. Don't get me wrong, the time I "wasted" I was hanging out with friends, but when you spend $9000 a year to go to Bible College, you should let it really affect who you are.

But hey, keep me updated on how the classes go for you! I really get excited when people learn about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, it makes me really happy haha. If you ever need help or something, just start something up here too... I know I'm new to the site but I get the impression you'll have lots and lots of people willing to help you out.

Haha nice try bud, but I've retired from the assignments business (for the time being). But just keep sending us updates here, I think people are encouraged to here about others who are advancing their knowledge of Christianity.

How big is your class by the way? What class are you taking right now?

**dogfood** · 02-25-2011, 01:45 PM

um not very big at all. 9 people.
im doing a certificate in christian ministry.

currently doing papers on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and on Song of Solomon

Wow, 9 people? That's pretty small, but sometimes that is better. You will for sure get to know everybody and the classes will probably seem pretty intimate, hey? Is the school linked to a certain denomination or is it non-denominational?

The papers song pretty interesting. I took a class that briefly touched on Song of Solomon, but I don't remember a whole lot of it. We spent most of our time in Job and Ecclesiastes. (It was the Wisdom Literature class). I had the choice of doing a paper on the Holy Spirit in my first year, but i chose to do one on the deity of Christ instead (I think that is what I did anyway... I'd better double check that). Does the school have a library for some sources?

non- denominational. been going since about the early 1970's.

yeah well SOS is great. we have had about 5 lectures on it and we are only up to verse 13 in chapter one.
Its a pretty intimate book.
and yes we do have a library.

I love Song of Solomon. Taking a class on that book would be fantastic.
