In 2021 the Cape Town School of Supernatural Ministry (also called CSSM) is launching our first 9-month ONLINE School. Our school was launched in Cape Town in 2014 as a BSSM school plant. Over the years we have planted several campuses in the Western Cape.  

In 2021 we will offer the First Year Course online, with the option of proceeding to a Second Year in 2022.  Our First Year Online course is from Monday 8 February 2021 - Monday 25 October 2021 (excluding South African school holidays).

How will the online First Year course work?

Launch of Online School 2021

• The online course commences on Monday the 8th of February 2021 at 7pm with a Face-to-Face Session on zoom.
• Once students have registered for the course, they will receive a zoom link for the launch night.
• The first THREE zoom evenings for the ONLINE school are free for visitors.  Prospective students can email us admin@cssm.co.za for the zoom links for these three free nights.  The free nights are:  Mon 8 Feb 2021, Mon 15 Feb and Mon 22 Feb.

Explanation of School Activities 2021

From Monday the 8th of February 2021 until Monday the 25th of October 2021, registered students  will be engaged with CSSM every week, except during school holidays.  During school holidays students will be expected to catch up on term work, if needed.  The next few pages are a discussion of the activities that are required of registered students: 

Face-to-face Sessions

• About every second week, students will meet on Monday nights @ 7pm – 9pm SAST on zoom.  Please note that during the first three weeks of school, there will be weekly zoom meetings.  See the School Calendar link below for more detail.
• Monday night face-to-face meetings are always on zoom, unless arranged differently with a specific online hub (see description of a hub below).   If students are doing the school as a church or with group of friends,  they will be encouraged to meet and watch the zoom sessions together.  Such a gathering will be called a hub.  
• During the zoom sessions, students either engage with live lectures (by esteemed ministers of the gospel) or watch video teaching sessions from the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.   Students will also be engaged in small group discussions with the purpose of reflecting, practically applying what was learned, or to review/ discuss new insights.  During these small group discussions, students will also pray for each other,  build community and receive prophetic ministry.

Online BSSMequip platform

• When students register for the ONLINE course, they will gain access to the Online BSSMequip platform. This platform contains all the teachings (and more) that will be watched in First Year 2021. Students can access this platform via internet on a PC or laptop, or as an app that they can download on their phone. Once students have registered for the course, they will receive the details for this platform.
• Students are required to watch about 2 to 3 hours of weekly teaching on this platform (excluding the weeks when there is a zoom/hub meeting).

Book Reading

• Reading is a large part of our curriculum.   Students will read five books in 2021 and complete book reports for each book.   To complete the required reading, students are expected to read at least 1.5 hours each week.
  
• CSSM First Year 2021 Reading List is:
  • When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson

• You can purchase these books as a set Book Package from CSSM at R1500 (excluding postage). All these books are also available in ebook format on platforms like Amazon or of that of the author.

Homework

• Homework at CSSM is focused on personal transformation. The aim of homework is to give students opportunity to reflect on what they have learned and to internalise the concepts and revival culture taught at school.
• Homework is also an opportunity for the hungry heart, soul and mind to be satisfied by the wisdom of God and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. While there are no grades given, participation, excellence, and timely completion of homework is expected of each student.

• Homework for 2021 includes book reading, writing of book reports and completing tasks.

Outreaches and Activations

• Students will attend 6 Saturday Activations/Outreaches per school year.  See the School Calendar for these dates.
• The Saturday meetings consist of a zoom or hub meeting and then an outreach into the student's immediate community.
• During the zoom or hub meeting, students will practise what they have learned during face-to-face classes. Students might also receive some additional teaching to support the kind of outreach they will be attending.
• Besides Saturday outreaches, students will be encouraged to participate in outreaches at their church or with other organisations/ministries in their community.

• Relationship: These courses teach students about how to steward their heart and emotions and give them tools for communication and feedback in order to cultivate healthy relationships and community.
