Student Ministry Practicum Program
The goal of the Student Ministry Practicum (SMP) Program is for the student to apply what he or she has learned in class to real-life circumstances. Ministry work is about worshipping God and ministering to people. We are each destined to accomplish this purpose in our own unique ways. In the SMP you will work to answer these two main questions:
Do you know the purpose and plan God has for you?
Have you uncovered your passion for serving?
Beyond that, the SMP is designed to help you understand and implement the concepts you have learned in the classroom into real situations of teaching and leadership.
If you're interested in enrolling at FCBI, we encourage you to reach out to us today! We would be happy to answer any questions you have and help you get started on the path to earning your degree.
