Overview
The Mission
Central Vancouver Island School of Supernatural Ministry (CVISSM) is committed to the truth that God loves people, gave Himself for them and has given His Church supernatural power to bring individuals and nations into wholeness. God is in a good mood! The school emphasizes that believers need to return to the ministry of signs and wonders - to minister in love, truth and the power of God. The mission of CVISSM is to equip and deploy revivalists who passionately pursue transformation in their God-given spheres of influence across Central Vancouver Island. Students will be trained to continue in the ministry style of Jesus: to enjoy the presence of God, say what He is saying, and do what He is doing.
The Atmosphere
CVISSM is a Holy Spirit driven ministry school where students of all ages (minimum age 19 years) come to learn how to live in the Kingdom of God and extend it’s borders through a supernatural lifestyle. We believe in honor, which manifests through joining the generations and teaching every age group to value and serve one another.
The school emphasizes hands on training and experience along with academic understanding. This creates a "do and teach" culture where all of the students are expected to take risks to stretch their faith and grow in their understanding of God. CVISSM believes that each verse of the Bible is an invitation into an experience with the Lord; therefore, the students are challenged to live the Bible. This produces a class environment that often feels very much like a laboratory where disciples practice the things they are being taught while school leaders coach the process and all this takes places in a setting of passionate worship.
Students are sent on outreaches into the community to gain confidence and experience in their areas of gifting. These exploits include ministry to neighborhoods, street and service evangelism. Students return to class to share testimonies, give thanks and debrief, always cheering each other on as they share.
Boldness, passion and risk are center stage in CVISSM. These values define our atmosphere and are manifest in worship, ministry and in relationships with each other.
CVISSM is not for those who are looking for a place to rehab or people who are coming out of lifestyle sins. CVISSM is designed to be a ministry training center where our students encounter their royal identity, learn the attributes of the Kingdom and walk in the authority and power of the King.
Curriculum Overview
CVISSM is based on the DVD curriculum from the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry which is taught by apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers - not by professors or theologians. This gives the teaching a kind of living perspective with five-fold distinctions.
The focus of the school is on assimilating the core values of the Kingdom into the heart of the believer and establishing God’s royal identity in the mind of each student. Students receive the gifts of the Spirit and learn how to walk in the power of God.
The school is divided into four semesters over two years:
Students receive commentary and insight into the scriptures but they are also immersed in a revelatory culture where the Holy Spirit becomes the chief instructor and tour guide. He causes His Kingdom to come alive through the pages of the Bible. CVISSM students learn how to read, understand, and “do” the Bible - how to cast out demons, witness, heal the sick, prophesy, preach, pray, practice His presence and much more.
Over the course of the school, students will read the entire Bible along with approximately 12 additional recommended books that are not mandatory to purchase and read. Students are required to do community outreach ministry each week and complete their assigned Bible reading and homework.
