Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much time will HITC require?

A: HITC is an intensive one or two year school. While in HITC you will need to be completely committed to school and other ministry needs within Church of the Harvest. This is a beautiful exposure to ministry, helping to develop yourself into the leader God wants and can use in any area of your life. Students are permitted to work up to 25 hours per week.

Q: What will HITC’s Year schedule look like for the 2011-12 school year?

A: HITC Applications are due July 18, 2011.  HITC begins on Aug 24, 2011 with our three day, out-of-town Orientation Retreat. Classes will begin on August 29, 2011. Throughout the school year students will enjoy a fall break, Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, Winter Break (includes a 3 day HITC winter retreat) and Spring Break. Classes will end May 2, 2012. The HITC Mission trip will follow the end of classes. Exact dates for the Mission Trip will be determined at a later date.  HITC Graduation will be on June 3, 2012.

Q: What will HITC’s weekly schedule be?

A: HITC students will thrive on an intensive Monday-Friday class schedule (7:30am-Noon) and will also be involved in different ministry opportunities within the church Wednesday nights, Saturday 2:00-7:00pm and Sundays. HITC students may also be required to attend other COH events outside of this schedule.  

Q: Why can I work only 25 hours a week?

A: As an HITC student, many demands will be placed on you. It is important for you to take care of yourself and manage your time wisely. This work limit is placed on students for their own benefit.  

Q: Do you have dormitory or Host Homes?

A: HITC does not have a dormitory (yet) but we will work with any student with housing needs. Our desire is to help them find housing which will best suit their needs.  

Q: Would the education I receive be beneficial to me if I do not plan to serve in full time ministry?

A: The training you will receive in HITC is foundational for proper equipping in all God has for your life! Whatever path you choose, whether it is ministry, marketplace, or other, the leadership, character and Bible education you receive will enable you to become all that God has called you to be no matter which direction life takes you.    

Q: What if I meet someone while attending HITC, who I would like to pursue a romantic relationship with?

A: Due to the the time and relational demands of HITC, we ask that students do not pursue any romantic relationship while attending school as a full-time student.

Q: Will I automatically be approved as a second year student if I have successfully completed the first year of

HITC?

A: Just because a student completed Year I of HITC, it does not guarantee their application will be accepted to become a Year II student. We are looking for students who have demonstrated a desire and willingness to be molded and formed into the man or woman God has called them to be. Year II students will be selected based on character, teachability, responsiveness, leadership ability, and the call of God on their life by the pastoral staff of HITC and Church of the Harvest.  

Q: What if I want to take a break in between my first and second year?

A: We recommend that you take this schooling in consecutive years. As with any application we take this on a case-by-case basis.  

Q: If I am interested in HITC but am unable to enroll in the full program. Can I take a single class?

A: Yes. You will need to enroll as an independent student through LOGOS Christian College and you can take up to two courses per Semester through HITC. We will submit your grade(s) to LOGOS. You would be responsible for all fees as an independent student (LOGOS fees, book fees & $90 per class HITC Administration fee).
