Tracks Update: You can select your track when you Sign Up or you can Select on the first evening of LiTE.

In the Summer of 2022, Central Christian College of the Bible opened the Saint's Summer Institute. After 2 wonderful years of this magnificent week, we have decided to switch things up a little. So in 2024, we would like to welcome you to:

The Leaders in Training Event (LiTE)! 

This four-day intensive experience blended the best of digging deeper into Bible and ministry, and summer camp. We have some of our best professors and staff members prepared with the best knowledge and lessons to get you excited about the topics they have a passion for, and they are ready to walk you through why their tracks are so exciting! 

We also have some of our wonderful college students putting together the most exciting events and activities they can think of to bring together the feel of camp. 

All of these things will be experienced on our beautiful campus at Central Christian College of the Bible. 

Truly, when you put together the exciting lessons and the on-campus fun, eating in the cafeteria and sleeping in the dorms, you get a taste of what it's like to be a Bible college student- kind of like "College LiTE" (see what we did there?)!

COST: $99 per person including food, lodging, entertainment, and resources for the intensive experience. This is a non-refundable payment. Students who are entering high school through those who have just graduated are eligible for the Saints Summer Institute.  

Track Descriptions 

(You can Pre-select your track when you sign up or select it on the first evening on campus)

Biblical Archaeology and Languages 

Who likes Indiana Jones?! We do! There's a real need for archaeologists like Indiana Jones, and we have a professor on campus who does just that. Walt Harper, along with Darryl Ammon, are excited to show students the very important role and impact that archaeology and language has on understanding your Bible. Did you know there was a right way to dig? Or that what you find in the dirt changes how you understand what you're reading? Did you know that the language your Bible was written in changes how you read it? Whether you did or didn't, this might be the track for you! Come find out what it means to understand your Bible better by getting your hands dirty!   

Asian Culture and Communication

Missions seem like a pretty big concept. Jesus told us to go into all of the world and spread the Gospel, and sometimes, going into other countries halfway around the world seems like a daunting task. But it doesn't have to! Professor Tina Nipper, having lived in China for several years, has a heart for missions across different cultures that she is excited to share! If you're someone who has wondered about different cultures, or recognizing different languages, this might be the track for you! Come prepared to grow a heart for the people around you, and the people farther away. God loves all of His creation, your neighbors next door, and those across the world. Come sit with Tina Nipper and learn what exactly it means to love through missions! 

Bible Bowl Prep Camp 

Who's in Bible Bowl?! If you're looking for a place to really put some edge in your studying, then you have come to the right place. Here at LiTE, you can spend time with Professor Bill Thomas to get a jump start on preparing for the Fall 2024 Bible Bowl season. You will focus on the first block of the new text. In this week of prep, you will have the opportunity to learn memorization techniques, develop personal study skills, learn the background of the text, compete in several practice games, and get to know your fellow Bible Bowlers. If you're serious about Bible Bowl and want to get an edge up for this Fall 2024 season, then this is definitely the track for you! 

Digital Media in Ministry 

This track is for students who have a knack for creativity. If you've ever been interested in content creation, like graphic design, photography or videography, this is definitely the track for you! Join our Director of Marketing, Jonathan Burian, to explore how you can develop your creative passions for Kingdom purposes.Whether you have experience or are just interested in exploring how to use Digital Media for your ministry this track will cover the fundamentals of a wide variety of digital media formats, best practices, and some advanced theories. (camera and laptop are recommended)

Next Gen Leadership (Timber Lake Christian Church in Moberly, MO)

If you are volunteering for your church's VBS this week, we will have a track in the afternoon after VBS is over so that you guys can still be a part of the LiTE experience! Just email Jess Poettker at jesspoettker@cccb.edu to let her know you are going to be a part of Timber Lake's VBS. 

Check-In on Monday will begin at 11am, and we will end our adventurous week with a family barbecue on Thursday at 6pm. 

Registration will be closed on July 9th at 11:59pm so that we can prepare for every wonderful student who is attending. 

We are looking forward to an exciting week of LiTE, and we really hope and pray to see you there!
