Practicum & Fellowship
Ministerial Practicum
Each program requires a Ministerial Practicum worth three of the 30 credit hours. Students serve a minimum of 72 supervised hours in their local church or another approved ministry. For fourth-year students, at least 50% of those hours must relate directly to their major. A Practicum Form must be completed by the supervising minister and submitted to CFBC — no grade is awarded until every requirement is met.
Ministerial Fellowship Agreement
Graduates entering fellowship agree to uphold the doctrine, conduct, and accountability standards of Anchor Of Our Souls Ministries, and to remain in active service and submission to a local church.
Ministerial Fellowship Renewal
Upon completion of the four-year coursework students are eligible for Ministerial Fellowship under Anchor Of Our Souls Ministries Inc. A $50 fee is required for annual renewal of the Ministerial Fellowship for all graduates.
