A School for the Church
Beacon Institute of Ministry (BIM) is uniquely designed to serve the local church and its leadership by enabling them to educate and prepare their members for Kingdom service. With over 30,000 students worldwide, it is fast becoming the future of Christian training.
The brain child of Dr. Ron Cottle, BIM brings together in video and live classroom instruction some of America's best teachers, preachers, and Christian leaders. Each 10 hour course is an intense study of a significant facet of God's Kingdom and the Spirit's expression on earth. Students receive college credits for successfully completing and passing the exam for each course. Textbooks often include books by some of America's most inspired authors and best-known speakers.
Beacon Institute of Ministry's faculty includes such illuminaries as C. Peter Wagner, David Shibley and Randy Clark. Some of the best teaching and training comes from Dr. Cottle himself. For more details contact either Doctor Phyllis or Doctor Rick Callahan.
Enrollment in B.I.M.
It is possible to enroll in the Williston, Vermont campus of BIM at Maranatha on one of three levels. Courses are offered for full credit at $150 each or you may observe a course with full materials, but no credit for $60. Each course begins at 6:00 PM on Thursday, continues at the same time on Friday, and concludes with the final session running from 8:00 AM to noon, Saturday morning. Phyllis Callahan, as Director of the B.I.M. campus, does an outstanding job in making all feel welcome and by facilitating a spirit of camaraderie.
