Every student receiving a degree or certificate from Eternity Bible College is required to participate in a cross-cultural ministry experience before they may officially receive their degree or certificate. The cross-cultural ministry requirement may be fulfilled either domestically or internationally but must be in the context of a culture that is different from that with which the student is generally accustomed.

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)
• Must be part of the student’s home church outreach, or at least with the knowledge, support, and backing of the student’s home church.
• Duration must be at least one consecutive week (seven days excluding travel time)
• Must occur while you are a registered student at EBC, and 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 Church Relations for approval prior to your trip. If you are having difficulty finding an opportunity through your local church, you may contact the Director of Church Relations.
