Winter Short Term
During the month of January, Faith Builders offers classes during a five-week term. The courses offered are focused in the areas of Bible, Theology and Music. This term is specifically designed to address the needs of students not traditionally served by Conservative Mennonite Bible Schools. This includes both older students as well as church leaders. The classes are open to students who desire to spend only one term at Faith Builders, although preference will be given to long-term students. The typical course load is 6-8 semester hours. Some courses run the entire five weeks while others may run for as little as one week. We will offer elective courses in addition to these regularly scheduled classes:
