What is included in the Institute Study Manual? 
You will receive a number of resources, including a resource bibliography to help direct you to useful tools, as well as recommended resources, study guides to help your students find the most important themes and facts from the recommended books, and learning activities to help you construct assignments for your students to maximize their learning and fulfill the objectives for the course.

Do books come with the Institute Study Manuals?
You are not required to but you can order the recommended books along with the study manuals.  You may choose if you would like none, some, or all of the recommended books.  Simply indicate what you want on your order form.  

How do I order the materials?  Is there an application?
There is no application process, but you do need to complete an order form and submit payment before the materials can be shipped to you.  The order form can be viewed and printed by clicking here.

Does our church have to be an official Institute to use these manuals?
No; these manuals were created for the benefit of the local church to train and equip leaders within their own congregation.  You do not have to have official standing with Foursquare, or with Life Pacific College to have access to these materials.  They can be purchased by anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of Bible, Theology, and Ministry. 

Do I earn college credit for completing these materials?
No.  These courses are offered on a non-credit basis.  If you are interested in earning college credit, or even an Associate of Arts Degree in Biblical Studies through Independent Study, please contact the Distance Learning Department at Life Pacific College.

Should I pursue an articulation agreement?
If your institute is interested in pursuing a more formal relationship with Life Pacific College, you should consider an articulation agreement. An articulation agreement would benefit students that are intending to complete a portion of their training through your Institute, and then transfer to Life to complete a four-year degree .If you are interested in establishing an articulation agreement with Life, click here to see a sample of an articulation agreement. A self-study is required to begin this process.  Click here to see a sample of a self-study. Before you invest an estimated fifty hours of work into establishing an agreement with Life Pacific College, we recommend that you consider the needs of your students.
