Because we seek to foster a passion for God's global purpose and activity, every student receiving a degree from Eternity Bible College (Certificate, Associate, or Bachelor of Biblical Studies) is required to participate in a cross-cultural ministry experience before they may officially receive their degree. The cross-cultural ministry requirement may be fulfilled domestically or internationally, but must be in the context of a culture that is different form that which the student is generally accustomed to.

Requirements for Cross-Cultural Opportunities

  • Must be directly involved with a theologically like-minded local church.
  • Must be gospel and local church oriented (not simply humanitarian).
  • Duration must be at least one consecutive week (excluding travel time).
  • Must occur during vacation time (Winter, Summer, Spring Break).
  • Trips will be approved on a case-by-case basis.

To receive credit for a trip you must submit the cross-cultural ministry proposal form to the Director of Student Life for approval prior to your trip. If you are having difficulty finding an opportunity through your local church, you may contact the Dean of Students.
