Participation LevelsLevel One: This level has in mind the enrichment of the Local Church participant who desires to gain the knowledge of the material without necessarily committing to the 2nd Level of the program. By enrolling in the class, the Level 1 student chooses to attend classes, participate in discussions but is not required to take the quizzes or exams. A Course Participation Certificate
will be awarded by Baptist Institute of America and the facilitating Local Church upon completion of each course. Upon completion of 4 of the series in the Local Church Initiative program, a Bible Certificate will be awarded by Baptist Institute of America and the facilitating Local Church. |
Level Two: This level goes beyond just participation as a student to one who desires to master the material in each course. By enrolling in the class, the Level Two student participates in the class discussions and assignments and tests the mastery of the material through completing all assignments, quizzes, and exams in the prescribed time laid out in the course syllabus. Completion of 4 of the series will earn a Bible Certificate awarded by Baptist Institute of America and the facilitating Local Church and will also give the student 6 advanced standing hours toward an Associate or Bachelor’s degree at Baptist Institute of America.
