D. Camps & Events Team Camps & Events teams will work directly with the Ministries and Camps departments. These teams will operate the extreme camp activities as well as travel with the activities in partnership with other Churches and organizations in the Southeast. They will also serve alongside Word of Life Youth Ministries Missionaries to help with events at local churches. E. Local Church Ministry Teams Local Church Ministries is a great opportunity to serve the Lord on a weekly basis (every Wednesday) in an assigned local church. You as a student, will receive “hands-on” experience with Student and/or Adult ministries. Each Church has its own program, so there will be different opportunities depending on which Church you are placed. The students who participate in this ministry will be assigned to the same church for each academic semester unless the ministries department makes special changes. F. Frontline The Frontline Team will serve with the Local Church Ministries Club Churches in the Tampa Bay area. The team will have a focus in teaching, preaching, small group leading and programming in student meetings. G. Child Evangelism Fellowship Teams The CEF teams will do ministry at a local elementary school on a weekly basis. The students who are placed on this team must be passionate about children’s ministry and participate faithfully throughout the school year. H. Student Council Student Council is a ministry team selected to serve the entire student body. Student Council members assist in organizing and leading campus activities and service projects. I. Cross Cultural The Cross Cultural team serves in conjunction with Spanish-speaking congregations in the Tampa Bay Area. The team serves with student events and other evangelistic opportunities. Speaking Spanish is not a prerequisite for joining the team, but it certainly helps! VI. SPECIAL EVENTS Fall semester • Evangelism Ministry: All Students go to public areas to present the gospel. • Reverb: Assisting Local Church Missionaries share the gospel at all night youth events. • Fall Festivals: Teams will assist Churches in Fall themed evangelistic events. Spring semester • Pursuit Camp: Five weekends in January and February that is a condensed version of summer camp for teens. One additional weekend will be a conference-style weekend for college-age students. • Evangelism Ministry: Students go to public areas to present the gospel. • Mission Trips: Students will have the opportunity to minister on an overseas Mission Trip during spring break VII. SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS A unique aspect of the Ministries Department is the area of Service Assignments. Service Assignments provide each student the opportunity to develop teamwork, a godly work ethic, and hands on training in various areas. Service Assignments cover every area from maintenance to housekeeping and from food service to administration. Each individual student is key in ensuring the operation of the Bible Institute as a whole. Manthano a derivative of the Greek means “to learn by putting what one learns into experience.” Perhaps one of the greatest lessons that we teach others is not so much in what we do, but in how we do it. Regular Service Assignment: This is the 6-8 hour-per-week assignment that each student is expected to fulfill during the academic year. This assignment has been determined in part by the form that was filled out by the student at registration as well as the student’s assigned ministry and by the needs of the Bible Institute. All service assignments will be scheduled using the Paycom application and notifications will be sent through your Canvas inbox. Sunday Service Assignment: There are no regular service assignments scheduled on Sundays. This is an opportunity for students to participate in Work-for-Pay.
