GENERAL STUDIES
Students equipped to interact with the global society need to have knowledge
and understanding of common areas of study. General Studies courses inform
the student intellectually; providing knowledge, the ability to gain knowledge,
and the ability to think critically. They inform the student practically; providing
knowledge regarding communication, literature, and social science. They inform
the student globally; providing knowledge concerning cultures and worldviews.
General Studies courses equip students to understand the liberal arts from a
Christian worldview.
Student Outcomes
1.! Demonstrate basic knowledge in communication, the humanities, and social
sciences.
2.! Exhibit independent, critical, and creative thinking skills.
3.! Locate and evaluate learning resources.

Literature/Arts
Philosophy and Science
Social Sciences
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees include 43 credits

PROFESSIONAL STUDIES
During the history of Central Christian College of the Bible, its mission has been
consistent: to develop servant-leaders for the church. A servant-leader is
informed, inquisitive, creative, and skilled. Professional Studies courses take
students on a journey from introducing various ministries as a profession to the
concepts, attitudes, and skills that will help them be effective in their chosen field.
Professional Studies courses equip students for discipleship and entry-level
vocational ministry.
Student Outcomes
1.! Display a breadth of general knowledge of ministry and leadership.
2.! Determine biblical and effective approaches to ministry and leadership for
the contemporary church.
3.! Lead people to salvation in Jesus Christ and equip them for active service in
the body of Christ.
4.! Conduct a biblical ministry sensitive to historical, social, and cultural contexts.
5.! Communicate the Bible clearly and contextually.
6.! Identify the biblical values that guide ethical conduct in professional
responsibilities.
7.! Exhibit the character and gifts of a Christ-like servant-leader.
Requirements
Several types of Professional Studies courses are included in the degrees and
course descriptions.
Common Courses: All degrees require Christian Discipleship (PCM100) and
Principles of Evangelism (PCM222). Those courses provide direction in the
common goals of all ministry students: personal spiritual growth and the ability
to evangelize and disciple others.
Ministry Program Requirements: Each ministry major or minor has its own
required courses, starting with a “Foundations” course (usually taken during the
second semester of the second year). Specific ministry courses in theory,
methods, administration, and leadership are also required. Each ministry
program includes three designated courses within the Biblical Studies and
General Studies requirements that are considered part of the major requirements.
Majors: The BA and BS degrees develop a major made up of 36.5 credits of
study in a specific ministry discipline. Course requirements for majors are listed
in Section 2 of this catalog. Available majors include: Biblical Research,
Christian Counseling, Christian Education, Christian Ministries, Cross-cultural
Ministry, Preaching Ministry, and Youth & Family Ministry.
Minors: A student may add a minor to an onsite bachelor’s degree to seek
expertise and credentialing in an area beyond the major. Minors are an
additional 15 credits of study, which may require careful planning and enrollment
beyond four years. Specialized Minors are extended internships that are

Section 4 - Degrees and Certificates
completed with a ministry that partners with CCCB. Course requirements for
minors are listed in Sections 2 & 3 of this catalog. Available minors include:
Biblical Languages, Biblical Research, Campus Ministry, Christian
Communication, Christian Community Development, Christian Education,
Cross-cultural Ministry, Pastoral Counseling, Worship Arts, and Youth &
Family Ministry.
Service & Leadership Training (SALT)
In keeping with our mission, Central has developed a curriculum that introduces
students to various aspects of leadership, even before they reach the professional
studies part of their education. SALT courses expose students to a variety of
principles and practical experiences that are preparatory to full-time ministry.
SALT101
Serving in Community emphasizes the need for genuine
relationships in God’s Kingdom.
SALT102
Biblical Leadership challenges students to think of themselves as
leaders and introduces them to basic principles of spiritual
leadership.
SALT200
Ministry in the Local Church incorporates the contents of multiple
SALT courses for online students to take in one semester.
SALT201-208
Leadership Ministries courses expose students to service
opportunities in their areas of ministry study through interaction
with practitioners, knowledge of pioneers in the field, awareness
of personal gifts, and planning their course of study. Each course
provides a vision of the outcomes of pursuing that major and
creates a map for how to achieve that vision.
SALT211-220
Elective SALT courses focus on subjects relevant to ministry and
life including Grace & Forgiveness, Personal Finance, Marriage
Preparation, and more.
SALT300
Vocational Preparation prepares the student to find and benefit
from a supervised ministry experience in their chosen field of
professional studies.
SALT301-310
Field Education Experience/Leadership Apprenticeship allows
students to apply their professional training in service with
experienced practitioners in a significant personal ministry
experience. Academic credit, length and timing of the internship
vary according to degree.
SALT375
Personal Assessment guides the student, in the last year of study,
to reflect on the progress made in the past and looks ahead to
moving from college to professional service.

BACHELOR’S DEGREES
Central Christian College of the Bible offers three bachelor’s degrees, the
Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of Religious Studies.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree contains an undergraduate curriculum of 132
credits that includes both a Bible major and a ministry major. The BA degree also
requires 15 credits in the biblical languages of Hebrew (Old Testament) and
Greek (New Testament). This degree is designed to enable students to engage in
biblical studies at the highest level to emphasize Bible teaching in their leadership
ministry. It typically requires four years of full-time study to graduate.
The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree is our most popular degree. It prepares
students for entry-level professional employment in a church or parachurch
ministry. The BS is similar to the BA, with a significant difference: the biblical
languages requirement is reduced to 3 credits and replaced by additional Biblical
Studies and General Studies courses. It also contains an undergraduate
curriculum of 132 credits, including a Bible major and a ministry major. The BS
degree typically requires four years of full-time study to graduate.
The Bachelor of Science in Bible (BSB), contains the same 54-credit Bible major
in an online version of the BS. However, it does not develop a ministry major.
The BSB is intended for a servant-leader actively working in a local congregation
or ministry who wants to develop a richer understanding of the Bible and
ministry. This 121-credit curriculum can typically be completed in four years of
full-time study.
The Bachelor of Religious Studies (BRS) degree is a 128-credit program for
students who have earned significant college credit from a college other than
Central. A student who transfers 60 hours of college credit or an associate
degree can earn a BRS degree by taking 68 hours of credit from CCCB. The
transfer credits may be taken before enrolling at Central, while a student attends
Central (through a partner college), or after a student finishes Central’s
requirements. There are two versions of the BRS degree.
The BRS-Christian Leadership is for a student who has taken 60 transferrable
credits (36 credits of general studies and 24 credits of open electives), but has not
developed a professional emphasis. Students who earn this degree may be
employed by a local congregation or in a ministry organization. Students in this
degree program are required to complete a Christian Leadership Apprenticeship.
In order to enroll in the BRS-Christian Leadership:
1.! Students must have attended at least two years of college at an
accredited institution besides Central.
2.! Students must have earned at least 36 credits of approved general
studies courses with grades of C- or above at an accredited institution.
3.! Students must have earned at least 24 credits of approved open elective
courses with grades of C- or above at an accredited institution.

Central Christian College of the Bible
Section 4 - Degrees and Certificates
The BRS-Missional Occupations is for students who have taken or will take up
to 60 hours of study that includes a professional emphasis. This may be in the
form of a bachelor’s degree, an associate degree, or a certificate. Students who
pursue this degree are challenged to utilize their professional emphasis in a
ministry context. While a student remains enrolled at Central, the Full-Tuition
Scholarship covers tuition expenses at a partner institution in Section 3.
ASSOCIATE DEGREES
Associate degrees give students an introduction to biblical studies along with
another emphasis in two years of study. Students who earn an associate degree
are qualified for entry-level positions in the local congregation or community.
They may continue their education at Central or elsewhere in pursuit of a
bachelor’s degree. Central offers three associate degrees.
The Associate of Biblical Studies (ABS) degree requires 60-61 credits to equip
students with a solid biblical and theological foundation for servant-leadership
and teaching within the local church. The curriculum is designed to prepare
students for service in volunteer or bi-vocational ministries. The ABS degree
typically requires two years of full-time study to graduate.
The Associate of Professional Studies (APS) degree requires 64-67 credits to
give students a biblical and theological foundation for servant-leadership while
training for a career using the vocational training available at a community
college. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for service in volunteer
or bi-vocational ministries. The APS degree typically requires two years of fulltime study to graduate.
The Associate of Worship Arts (AWA) is a 63-credit degree of intense worship
training, designed to equip students with a solid biblical and theological
foundation for servant-leadership and worship-leading within the local church.
The curriculum is designed to prepare students for service in part-time or fulltime worship ministry. The AWA degree typically requires two years of full-time
study to graduate.

CERTIFICATES
In addition to associate and bachelor’s degrees, Central provides opportunities
for students to earn certificates. These shorter programs are available for
vocational training, biblical knowledge, and specialized ministry opportunities.
Though a certificate may be the main credential used when seeking employment,
most likely it will be a supplemental credential which demonstrates that the
student has mastered basic material on a subject.
The Certificate of Bible and Ministry (CBM) provides short-term training in
biblical, spiritual, and ministry matters that can be used for personal development
and church leadership. This is a 16-credit certificate.
The Certificate of Biblical Knowledge (CBK) introduces students to biblical,
spiritual, and theological issues necessary for basic servant-leadership in a local
congregation. The curriculum is designed to provide personal development as
well as preparation to teach others. This is a 31-credit certificate.
The Children’s Ministry Certificate (CMC) prepares students to serve the church
by specializing in the care and teaching of children from birth to sixth grade.
Those completing this certificate are equipped to lead children’s ministries. This
certificate adds 15 credits of study in Children’s ministry to the CBK for a total of
46 credits. It can also be added to a BA, BS, or BRS degree. Specific
requirements are listed in Section 3.
The Teacher Preparation Certificate (TPC) provides public school teacher
certification through the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence
(ABCTE). Students who qualify for and complete the TPC may be certified to
teach in up to eleven states. This certificate is completed in conjunction with a
bachelor’s degree. Specific requirements are listed in Section 3.
The TESOL Certificate gives students theoretical and practical knowledge for
teaching English to non-native speakers of English (“Teaching English to Speakers
of Other Languages”). This certificate is completed in conjunction with a
bachelor’s degree. Specific requirements are listed in Section 3.

program. No additional credits are required. Incoming students who meet the
requirements may apply for admission to the program. Current students may
also apply to the program after a strong first year performance at Central.
