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, discipleship 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.
Winter Term 2012 is planned for January 2 - February 3, 2012.

Summer Term 2012
Good teachers are always learning and growing, increasing their knowledge and skills while developing as persons. Many teachers have found that the challenge and discipline of doing summer courses have increased their effectiveness as teachers. Summer Term provides an opportunity for teachers to invest in their capabilities as a teacher. Many schools and churches are encouraging that investment by offering financial support to teachers attending Summer Term at Faith Builders.
Summer Term 2012 is planned for June 25 - July 27, 2012.
