      <image:title>Our Vision - Our Purpose: Ephesians 4:12-14</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our purpose is to systematically train believers from all true Christian Denominations for effective ministry.  We specialize in those who have cost and time limitations due to family responsibilities and/or full time employment.  For this reason, our classes can be attended at a time that is convenient for you within each 9-week class schedule via Zoom or in person on Tuesday nights.  Our cost, compared to others, is less than half of most similar schools. We encourage you therefore, to pray for the Lord's will in attending Calvary Chapel Monrovia Bible Ministry School.  Calvary Chapel Monrovia Bible Ministry School was established in 2013 with the goal to equip the saints for the work of the ministry in wherever are God has called them.  One would never send a soldier into battle with equipping them and training him for the task at hand; likewise, servants of the lord are soldiers in a spiritual war and need to be equipped and trained for the battle ahead.  It is our desire and prayer the the Gospel of the kingdom be preached to the ends of the earth and this is our small way to prepare each generation for this task.  It is our joy to help you answer the Lord's calling in your life. Richard Schork Senior Pastor and Director</image:caption>
