Day-To-Day
A typical day at GZMC starts at the church at 8am. From 9-10am, you
will be in prayer, devotion, and worship. The rest of the morning will be
spent in schooling. After lunch you will have the
opportunity to be involved in hands-on ministry; either
working in the office, planning new dramas, visiting students
at their extra-curricular activities or working with inner city kids. In the evenings, you will be a part of our Youth services or working at a local outreach. The GZMC day is
intense and very full. This is why no outside employment is
allowed. The days are long and full, but the rewards of
seeing God work are many.
Schooling
Chesapeake Bible College & Seminary: During acadamics, you will be working towards earning a Diploma of Biblical Studies. Students earn a total of 36 college credits. If a student comes back for a second and third year, they will be able to earn an Associates degree or Bachelors degree. Students will be earning college credits that transfer to most colleges. To find out if CBCS credits transfer to your college of interest, you will have to call them and find out. Colleges don’t have to accept credits from other schools, so its best to find out there policy on transferring credits. If you have already earned college credits, you can have your transcripts sent to us. We can apply them to your Diploma of Biblical Studies.
Schedule

Mission Trip
Jesus said that He “came TO serve, not to BE served”.
That is the heart behind every mission trip that we take.
It’s not about us, it’s about the people God has placed in
our path. You will have the opportunity to reach out to
people in need who are hurting and show them the love of
Christ; be it in a small village in the Dominican
Republic, or a crowded street in Hawaii, you will be
Jesus’ hands and feet extended. |
