Fall Batches and More

This September we will be starting multiple batches of CPE. These may vary based on need. We are still working out what ones will be Intensive (approximately 11 weeks) and what would be Extended (16+ weeks). Additionally, we are working out which ones will be community-based (hospital and church/community) and ones that would be hospital-based.

Tuition cost remains Php22,000. If interested, please email us at bukallife@gmail.com, or go to our Contact Us page. We hope to have our groups finalized by the end of August.

Additionally, we are hoping to start a CPO-100 course in the second week of November. It will follow the 2nd semester schedule of Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary. It can be taken as a course under PBTS, or not. To take it under PBTS, go to the PBTS website for the application process. Otherwise, contact us at bukallife@gmail.com, as noted before.

A few other things to note.

In August we will have several trainees having their certification boards with CPSP-PH. We wish them success.

Also in August we will join the Triennial National Missions Conference of One Sending Body. We are partners of them in terms of Missionary Member Care.

In the first week of September, we will be holding Basic Pastoral Counseling Training in Quirino Province. More info as it comes up.
