Prospective
Student:
We are all called, are you prepared?
Pastor James Knarr
"For me, one of the greatest things about Brewer Christian
College is that I am able to be better equipped for the calling God has
on my life, not just prepared for a career. Though my calling can lead
to a career, a career will never overtake my calling. Brewer is the place
to know how to walk in your calling too!"
The
faculty, staff, administration, and board of The Kaleo Institute at
Brewer Christian College stand together on the foundation
that all believers in Jesus are called into ministry. Through focused
preparation, centered in the study of the Word of God, Brewer Christian
College can help equip you to fulfill all that the Lord has
prepared for you to do!
Let us answer a few questions you may have...
If the school were to be summarized in just one word, what
would it be?
Brewer Christian College is all about "relationships". Brewer
Christian College is grounded in the covenant relationship that we
have in Christ and built through personal relationships that are cultivated
by The
Word of God. Every student, staff and faculty member is an important
part of our community; we want to invite you to join the family.
What does "The Kaleo Institute" stand
for? Kaleo is the English transliteration of the Greek word for "calling".
As Christians we are all called to be ministers of the Gospel of
Jesus. Jesus tells His disciples, in what has become known as "The
Great Commandment", to "herefore go and make disciples of
all nations,
baptizing
them
in
the name
of
the
Father
and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you." At The Kaleo Institute at Brewer Christian
College our mission is "to provide quality, Biblically based academic
programs and one on one mentoring to prepare and equip Christian ministers,
professionals,
and laypersons, for their religious and professional lives." In
other words, The Kaleo Institute at BCC is designed to help prepare you
for
your calling.
Why the name "Brewer
Christian College"?
Brewer Christian College was built and named with the central theme of
family, represented by both flesh and blood and in the Kingdom of God.
Founded by Drs. Kenneth and Mary
Jane Brewer alongside their son Chris,
the school has been built as a monument to what God can do when a family
that has chosen to serve the Lord is faithful to His calling. Faculty and staff are
not only united in the mission of providing quality, Biblically based
academic programs, but are bonded together as brothers
and sisters in the family of God. So who is the school named after
...family, a family that we would be honored to have you become a
part of.
What about academics?
Brewer Christian College academics are about life transformation, not
simply information transferal. Every class is challenging, when you
are enrolled as a student you will work hard. The difference is that
each of our courses is designed to be immediately applicable to your
current ministry and prepare you for ministry opportunities to come.
Even the general studies requirements are grounded in the concept that
we are preparing you to write speak and even do math for ministry!
Does Brewer
Christian College have a campus?
Although
The Kaleo Institute at Brewer Christian College (BCC) is an
online school and our “campus” is located at www.breweronline.org. The
majority of our teachers teach online from private homes and
churches around the country. But the school's physical headquarters
are located in Jacksonville, Florida. BCC also has a teaching
and learning center with a modest library collection that overlooks
beautiful Lake Howell in Casselberry, Florida, a suburb of
Orlando. The Casselberry facility consists of two large houses
that were purchased and heavily transformed into classrooms,
a meeting hall, offices and cooking facilities for weekend
“intensives” that are planned throughout the year. The main
administrative office, located about ten minutes from the Jacksonville
International Airport, was designed and built in 2004 as an
extension of the president's home. A large standalone state
of the art audio/video recording and editing studio*, where
the majority of our online content is created, was built into
the vice president's home at the same time. The current facilities
provide The Kaleo Institute at Brewer Christian College with
the ability to have an incredible facility and location for
students to gather for teaching, yearly graduation ceremonies,
workshops and worship just outside of Orlando (about a half
hour from the theme parks) and provide cost effective work
and document storage facilities for the core administrative
staff in Jacksonville.
Address of the teaching
and learning center:
1116 Semoran
Boulevard, Casselberry, Florida 32793-4207
* For more information
