SIBI Satellite Schools/Church Classrooms

The purpose of a Satellite School/Church Classroom is to equip the saints for the work of ministry and the building up of the church (Ephesians 4:12). God expects a natural process of growth from each of His people and each congregation of His people. SIBI is aware of the need for maturing and training the saints and wants to come alongside the body of Christ as a resource.

SIBI began answering this need with Satellite Schools that operated around the world utilizing the instruction from SIBI but administered by local individuals who served as agents of SIBI. With the development of the internet and SunsetOnline.org, Satellite Schools began to change, and there was less need for highly trained proxies to administer the courses to the same degree. To this day, there are still many functioning Satellite Schools that are actively training the body of Christ, but they have begun utilizing SunsetOnline.org to do most of the administrative work. The SIBI Church Classroom is the continuation of SIBI’s desire to help the local body of Christ provide in-depth biblical teaching in their community. Students who undertake any of the three levels of study will still see the same level of work as before in the Satellite Schools. SIBI is excited to see what God will do through your studies with us as we grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Satellite Schools/Church Classrooms serve the purpose of training church leaders and spokesmen where they are without relocating to the residence school in Lubbock. However, just as importantly, they also meet the needs of a grass roots movement of individual Christians who desire to be more effective servants in the kingdom strengthened by deeper Bible knowledge. The rapid growth in this ministry illustrates how effective this tool has become to hundreds of Christians seeking in-depth Bible knowledge. The statistics reported below demonstrate this fact.

Courses

Satellite School courses can be taken at three different levels: the audit level, certificate level, and credit level. Certificates of completion or a bachelor’s degree can be achieved upon completion of the full curriculum. Certificates and degrees are earned directly through SunsetOnline.org. The students wanting the level of study beyond audit complete all of the necessary requirements through the online courses while they learn the material along with the rest of the church classroom.
