Greetings to you in the name of our Lord.4. Carolinas School of MinistryDirector’s ReportSchool Year 2010-2011It is with great joy that I bring this report of the Carolinas School of Ministry to thisdistrict assembly. We have had an exciting year with new students, new faculty andnew procedures.We had 24 students enrolled in the fall semester and 21 in the spring. These are bothincreases over the previous year’s enrollment. We had 6 students take their first classfrom us in the fall and 2 more in the spring. This summer’s registration is ongoing atthe time this report is being written but it appears that we will have an increase inenrollment for this semester as well.Two new faculty members have applied to teach with us, one from each district thatwe serve. One has been approved to join our faculty and the other one is in theprocess of getting the paperwork done. While gains are nice, we also received wordthat one of our faculty members, Scott Roberts, will no longer be with us as he hasdecided to move to “Hurricane Alley” and will no longer be a part of our district.We held our first faculty retreat at the D. Moody Gunter Camp and Retreat Center onMarch 4-5, 2010. Seven faculty members participated in a discussion of The SevenLaws of the Learner in an effort to better improve our abilities to train the futureministers of the district.Another highlight of the year was the beginning of a scholarship program. TheCarolinas School of Ministry Board approved this program and several of the boardmembers’ churches have already helped with gifts of $100, giving us a start of $500.We have also received specified scholarships in the amount of $1160 which weredesignated for specific students. We invite all the alumni of our program to share inthis effort. Will you ask your church to take an offering for the Carolinas School ofMinistry Scholarship Fund? Two students have already benefited from this fund.Carolinas School of Ministry is moving forward in its efforts to be available for allthose who are called to preach but cannot move to Trevecca or Nazarene BibleCollege. Is someone in your church experiencing a call to ministry? We invite you tosend them to us as a call to preach is a call to prepare.Thank you for the opportunity to minister in this capacity for another year.In His Service,LARRY E. WAGNER103
