A Church Hub is a church-based learning centre that allows students to integrate their studies at MCS-Horizon with ministry and learning in their local church context. A Hub can be designed to serve the specific needs of the church and will have at least one ministry leader designated as supervisor-mentor.
Ours is designated as a regional church hub in conjunction with other area PAOC churches who are working together to establish a location where students from various churches will study together. Students from churches in the region will engage in ministry at their respective home churches. Students from outside the region are also welcome to move to study at the Regional Church Hub and serve at one of the churches in that region. While students will take most classes remotely, some classes may include in-person instruction at the Regional Church Hub.
Mentors will be assigned who will meet periodically with the student(s) and report to the college by filling out an assessment form for each student at the end of each semester. Other requirements will vary depending on how much the church wishes to invest in their students and the desired level of college training.
