ANNOUNCING EXCITING, NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH FORMISSION COLLEGE As part of our commitment to providing you Christian education with great opportunities we are excited to announce a new partnership. From September 2017, we are partnering with ForMission College, to offer the honours degree Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Mission (Validated by York of St John University). Who is ForMission and why are we partnering with them? As the name suggests, ForMission College exists for the purpose of preparing Christian leaders to transform their communities for Jesus. This vision is closely aligned to what we are already doing through IBIOL, but opens up the opportunities for a full degree. More can be discovered at formission.org.uk. How do I get my degree? This new relationship allows all graduates with the Diploma of Christian Ministries or higher (since July 2013 – the NCFE era) to enter directly to the second year of the ForMission degree. You can either finish after the second year with a foundation degree, or progress through two years to gain the honours degree. The program is 1 day of lectures per week during term time, so it’s possible to work full time. The degree program also allows you to access student finance for the second and third year, to help with affordability. IBIOL students take the gospel message onto the streets If there are enough students, we will be able to set up a hub at KT Summit House, Hanger Lane, or alternatively ForMission have a hub at City Temple in Holborn Viaduct. Either way, it’s accessible here in London and, indeed, there are other venues across the country, giving you a range of options. Please note, ForMission only have a September intake, so you’ll have to get the application process started soon. ❖ If you’re a graduate of IBIOL, or are considering joining us to take advantage of this great opportunity, contact us ASAP so we can talk you through your options. All of our team are ready to help at [email protected] or 020 8799 6162. Revival Times June 2017 15
