DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
The Scriptures:
We believe that all of Scripture (both the Old and New Testament) is verbally
inspired by
God and is our final authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine, reproof,
correction, and
instruction in righteousness (II Tim. 3:16, 17).
God:
We believe in only one true God; One in essence, nature, and attributes, but
existing in
three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (I Jn. 5:7).
Jesus Christ:
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, of His shed
blood on
Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins, of His bodily resurrection and ascension
to the
Father’s right hand. We do not believe that He is simply “a” way to the Father, but
rather the
only way through which we can receive righteousness, regeneration,
sanctification, and
glorification. He is, in fact, our salvation (I Cor. 1:30-31).
Holy Spirit:
We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, expressed with speaking in
tongues
according to Acts 1:8; 2:4; 9:17; 10:44-46; 11:15, 16; and 19:6. We believe this
experience
is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new birth, and can be received by faith
(Gal. 3:2).
Salvation:
We believe that all who, in repentance and faith, receive the Lord Jesus as
Savior and Lord
are born again (Acts 20:20-21; Rom. 10:9-13).
Healing:
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has provided healing
for the
human body (Mt. 8:16, 17; Isa. 53:4; I Pet. 2:24).
The Resurrection:
We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; one to
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
everlasting life and one to
everlasting damnation (Mt. 25:46).
The Second Coming:
We believe in a literal, physical second return of the Lord Jesus Christ (I Th. 1:10;
4:16-17).
The Church:
We believe that the universal church is comprised of all true believers who have
received
salvation through Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). We also believe in and
encourage fellowship with a
local church (Heb. 10:25).
Gifts of the Spirit:
We believe that spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit are for the
common good
and building up of others today (I Cor. 12:7-12).

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS AND DRESS CODE
Standards of Progress
Charis Bible College has three basic standards by which students' progress is
measured: grace, servanthood, and character. Detailed below are "guideposts" by which
the working out of these truths may be measured, not a formula by which these qualities
may be attained. As a believer we already possess everything we need in
Christ, but must yield our souls and bodies so that these qualities are manifested in
our thoughts and actions.
Grace: Second Peter 1:23, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of
Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and
virtue."
Charis is the Greek word for grace. The grace of God is God's favor given to every
believer who by faith puts his or her trust in Jesus Christ. Grace is multiplied in your life
as you relate with other people. The grace of God, His ability working in you, is
manifested as you are willing to listen and understand the heart of your teachers and
fellow students, as you exercise forgiveness, as you see the best in people and overlook
human faults, and as you are enabled to work with those you may disagree with.
Servanthood: As disciples of Jesus Christ, students at Charis Bible College value
and walk in humility and servanthood. They are willing to put the needs of others ahead
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
of their own desires, and find opportunities on their own to serve the school, staff, fellow
students, and others.
Character: It is defined by the example of our Lord Jesus Christ and further explained
by the writers of the Bible. This is measured by your attendance record, faithfulness in
paying tuition, obeying rules, and living by the highest moral and ethical standards.
Conduct
We expect all students of Charis Bible College to conduct themselves to the best of their
abilities, in agreement with the teachings of Jesus, both on and off campus, at all times
while enrolled as students.
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
Frequently Asked Questions
School
What does Charis Bible College (CBC) have to offer that other Bible schools
don’t?
A thorough study of the Word of God through fellowship, teaching how to apply
the Word to your life and ministry. It’s a place where you can get your
questions answered according to the Word of God, and much more through
developing an intimate relationship with your heavenly Father instead of
practicing ‘religion.’ We are a grace school where you learn the truth about
the love of God, and how to walk in the freedom of His love.
Do I have to be a member of the church?
We believe that we, as the body of Christ, are the “church” however, CBC
recommends that you attend church and worship services regularly, and serve
in a local congregation. You will learn foundational truth that will help guide
you to a local church fellowship if needed.
Why should I attend CBC?
If there is a stirring and desire inside of you to attend, CBC can help you to
recognize if it’s a call to ministry, and/or a call to a deeper relationship with
and understanding of God. Feel free to ask current CBC students and staff,
who are all CBC graduates, for their personal testimonies which we believe will
encourage your decision. We have seen awesome inner and physical healings,
and well as other tremendous changes in people as they learn the Word of God
that sets them FREE!

NOW! CBC Phoenix allows an “open enrollment” and regular classes start at
CBC Phoenix after Labor Day. Staff can answer your open enrollment questions

No, CBC classes are taught systematically, to give the students a solid
foundation so they can receive the most spiritually and academically from the

in various positions to learn aspects of ministry and administration.
What ministries will I be equipped for and qualified to do after graduation?
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
Pastor, associate pastor, any para-church ministry, missionary, work in a CBC
extension school, or just enjoy letting your light shine where ever God places

Charis Bible College of Phoenix --SAMPLE COURSE
DESCRIPTIONS
This is a sample of the courses offered and does not include every required or possible course.
Courses are
subject to change without notice.
BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE - First Year
Course Title: A Sure Foundation I & II
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: 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 system of
thought, but challenges us to examine if it is according to the Word or the world.
Course Title: The Basics of Righteousness I & II
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: 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.
Course Title: Relationship with God I-IV
Class
Hours: 20
Instructor: 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 does He cause
bad things to happen to us.
Course Title: Receiving from God I-IV

you learn how He has worked throughout history, but how He works in your life.
Course Title: Healing
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: 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.
Course Title: Introduction to the Bible
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Barry Bennett
A course designed to inspire confidence in the Bible as the Living Word of God by understanding

the Law vs. the blessing of Abraham, and life in the Spirit.
Course Title: The Ministry of Jesus I & II
Class
Hours: 20

Father, the Word, the devil, sin, faith, prayer and the Holy Spirit.
Course Title: Romans
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Lawson Perdue
Romans - The revelation of righteousness. The Book of Romans is considered by many as the
greatest exposition of Christian Doctrine 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.
Course Title: Bible Covenants
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: 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

fully revealed in the New Testament.
Course Title: Basic Bible Doctrines
Class
Hours: 10

Bible doctrine will be covered in this course. Subjects include The Scriptures Inspired, One True

Word.
SAMPLE BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE (1st year) COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Continued
Course Title: Discipleship Evangelism
Class
Hours: 24
Instructor: Ken and Shelley Settles, others
A 48-lesson condensed course developed by Don Krow and Andrew Wommack for introducing
Jesus
to a person who may nothing about Christ and developing that person into a student of the Word.
Course Title: Only Believe
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Rose Gonyer
Only faith pleases God, the just shall live by faith, and be it done unto you according to your faith
are only a few of the scriptures concerning faith. This class teaches the practical application of
our faith and how to live daily by faith and not by sight.
Course Title: The Heart “Essence” of the Gospel
Hours: 10
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
Class
Instructor: Arthur Meintjes
Because of the ignorance and lack of understanding concerning the Heart or “Essence” 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 true nature to a Tired, Worn out, and Hopeless world!
Course Title: Essential Truths of the New Testament
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: 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 extremely interesting
but they are not extremely important. 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 necessarily 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 probably be what you believe about the essential and
foundational truth of the Gospel, because all other truths must be based and founded on this truth
in order to work.
Course Title: Let Freedom Reign
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Arthur Meintjes
When we talk about freedom, it means different things to different people. For the majority of
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, pornography or
whatever we perceive freedom to be. We will discover that freedom in the New Testament is a
gift. Whenever you study the subject of freedom, as seen in the New Testament, there is a
fundamental reality that we must understand about true freedom; in Christ we are all born free.
Course Title: Finally, My Brethren
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Dr. Delron Shirley
This insightful study through the first five and a half chapters 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 scriptural truths and empower you to become
more than a conqueror in spiritual conflict.
Course Title: Your Home Can Survive in the 21st Century
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Dr. Delron Shirley
Delron Shirley asked the question, “Can your home survive in the 21st century?” In this course the
question is answered with a resounding, “Yes! And not just survive—thrive!”
Course Title: Israel – Key to Human Destiny
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Dr. Delron Shirley
It is so tiny that no world map can even squeeze its name on the space allotted it on the layout,
yet Israel dominates our evening news every night. How is it that this miniscule blob of color with
an arrow from the Mediterranean Sea identifying it as a nation, can so engulf the interest of the
total human race that it takes precedence on the front page of almost every newspaper and
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
tabloid? Why can one little country of a few million people tie up the wealth, the foreign
policy, and the political movements of the greatest nations on earth? Explore these intriguing
ideas and more in this class.
Course Title: Three Days that Changed the World
Class
Hours: 6
Instructor: Dr. Jim Richards
Every aspect of salvation, i.e. born again, healed, delivered, blessed, prospered, protected, made
whole, set apart, and all that's promised in Christ, is dependent on what we believe about the
resurrection of Jesus. Salvation wasn't finished on the cross; salvation was finished after Jesus
sat down at the right hand of the Father and received the inheritance which He freely shares with
all who believe.
Course Title: Miracles, Science and the Bible
Instructor: Dr. Jim Richards
Class
Hours: 7
Imagine people thousands of years ago trying to explain scientific information with the words,
examples and technology available at that time. This course will unravel the mysteries. It will
show you that the most up to date scientific discoveries verify what God inspired thousands of
years ago. The entire scientific community is rethinking its concepts of God, creation and the
miraculous. They are finally confirming what the Bible has taught for thousands of years!
Course Title: Fingerprint of Grace
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Dan Olin
From eternity past God has desired to have a partner in the earth with whom He could share
Himself. Religion has told man that there is a great chasm between God and man - that we are
"fallen and we can't get up"! Through Jesus, God restored man back into His grace "in which we
stand". What is Grace? What is its purpose? How do we recognize its workings? and How do we
not only stand strong in it but "have our being" in it? The answers to these questions will eliminate
forever the image of man simply being on "this side of the fall."
Course Title: Excellence in Ministry
Class
Hours: 10
Instructor: Greg Mohr
This course covers two key aspects of ministry development and success: 1) Identifying and
establishing core values your life and ministry are grounded in. Compromise, deception and
failure are averted when core values are established in the heart of the minister. 2) The essential
leadership principles necessary for the minister to both lead people to fulfill his/her vision and
become a leader worth following.
Course Title: Fruit of the Spirit
Class
hours: 10
Instructor: Greg Mohr
Fruit is naturally born out of relationship with God. This study of Galatians 5:22 will make the
realities of the fruit of the Spirit come alive and active in you.
Course Title: Four Keys to Hearing God’s Voice
hours: 10
App inst w/cc form, 8/13
Class
Instructor: Dr. Mark Virkler
For those who lack confidence that they can and do regularly hear God’s voice talking to them,
this is transformational class in drawing near and learning how to listen. For those who already
experience hearing God, this class can bring deeper intimacy with practice.
Plus, optional classes from the library are available to help you grow deeper.
