The Hybrid Programme

Study on-line at home…

As a student on the Hybrid Progamme, you will usually watch 8 fifty-minute lessons each week from the comfort of your home. See sample module descriptions here.

…and meet on-campus for 18 Saturdays per year

Typically, once a fortnight, you’ll join other students in your year group for a live Saturday School on-campus in Dumfries. These Saturday Schools include live worship, ministry training and group discussions.

The Hybrid Programme runs from 10 September 2022 to 20 May 2023. Please find below the full list of Saturday Schools for 2022/23.

Saturday School Schedule

Here’s the schedule for a typical Saturday for Year One students on-campus.

10.00. Welcome, Worship and Holy Communion.
11.00. Recorded teaching or Live Prayer Ministry Training.
12.00 Live, in class, teaching from a Charis Instructor
13.00. Lunch break
14.00. Group discussion and review of courses studied at home
15.00. Discipleship Evangelism Workshops.
16.00. Saturday School ends

Year Two students spend the morning receiving their own live teaching sessions. After lunch, the remaining two hours of the day are spent in workshops training to preach & teach, and preparing for the mission trip. There is also the opportunity to review the practical ministry courses students will have studied at home.

Please note that all Year Two students participate in a Mission Trip. Ordinarily, this would be a team visit to a cross-cultural location, usually around Easter.

The Year Three Leadership Programme is a unique blend of the best of the Year Three Ministry track and the Year Three Business track along with personal development classes recorded at Charis Bible College, Woodland Park, Colorado. Charis Dumfries students watch these videos at home and engage in live teaching tutorials at the Saturday Schools in Dumfries.

On a typical Saturday, Year Three students in Dumfries spend the first hour of the day with the rest of the college in worship. The remaining five hours are spent in specialised tutorials covering the following topics:

• How to teach effectively by drawing on God’s anointing, a working knowledge of the Bible, and good communication skills.
• A review of the business and ministry courses studied at home
• How to lead Communions, Offerings, Discipleship classes and more
• A real-time business project-planning exercise

The Hybrid Programme is for anyone who has a career, church, or family obligations, yet has a deep desire to gain more understanding of the Word of God and wants to grow in their relationship with the Lord.

The Hybrid Programme is ideal for those who know there’s more to life than they are experiencing and want to discover God’s purpose and plan while maintaining their everyday responsibilities!

The Programme is particularly designed for:

• Those unable to move close to a Charis location, but can travel a distance for 18 Saturdays a year.
• People who prefer to study at their own convenience but within a given time-frame
• People who like to discuss issues in groups
• People looking to worship and fellowship with like-minded believers
• People looking for live interaction with mature and experienced local Charis staff.

For the year 2022/23 the tuition fees for attending the Hybrid Programmes are the same as the Charis Day School in the UK. Please note, that there is an additional charge for the Year Two mission trip.
