SCHOOLS RUN AT THIS LOCATION

Chronological Bible Core Course ( CHR 211 )

In this course students are equipped with tools for continual development of personal Bible study. This course is modeled after the Chronological Biblical Core Course out of YWAM Lakeside- Montana. This course combines dynamic teaching, small group processing, personal study, one on one-s and practical application in order to help students develop a modest vocabulary and basic familiarity with the Scriptures as preparation for more advanced courses. There are several Bible schools offered under the banner of “Introductory Bible Course”. In this course students are equipped with tools for continual development of personal Bible study. Throughout the course students will grow in their understanding of the nature and character of God, how to live in and contribute to community, the importance of covenants, communicate God's redemptive plan, use the Word in a ministry context, and discover the big picture of Bible. A disciplined learning environment helps prepare the student for a lifetime of Bible study. This course meets the U of N Core Curriculum requirement for Bible.

Discipleship Training School ( DSP 211 )

This school is an intensive Christian discipleship course beginning with a 12-week lecture/teaching phase followed by an 8 week practical field assignment. It is a prerequisite for all other full learning week courses in the University of the Nations, and also serves to orient and prepare all new Youth With A Mission (YWAM) staff. The DTS is designed to encourage students in personal character development, cultivating their relationship with God and identifying their unique gifts and callings. Cross-cultural exposure and global awareness are special emphases throughout the course, preparing the students to evangelize and disciple current and future generations, answering the call to “Go into all the world and teach (make disciples of) all nations.” (Matthew 28:19). The curriculum is in the following six major categories: God’s nature and character; God’s intention for individuals, peoples and nations; seeing all of life from God’s perspective; redemption, sin, and the Cross; God’s family - the Church; God’s world - His call and commission; the ministries of YWAM. Since our base's desire is to to launch biblically-trained mariners to the unreached, we have also included a sailing ang Bible track to the DTS. Credit will be given for this course with satisfactory completion of DSP 212.

School of Navigation & Seamanship ( SCI 221 )
