A class can be started in any community, many situations and in a variety of venues. There are classes in churches, community buildings, homes, social clubs and prisons. Classes consist of small groups starting with three people and larger classes of 90 plus. CBS fits all these situations.
Before you start your class, identify the community you wish to reach. All classes are started with prayer. Define a small group of people (3 plus) who have the same vision.
There are two ways a class can be started:
If You will Pray (Nehemiah)

This is six week course is offered free of charge. View a sample (PDF format). On completion of this study and having defined your roles, full training and support is given before you start a class.
