This is  one full year where a student between the ages of 18-26 can live an Xtreme life for God!  This program is not for whimps but for those who are ready to be Xtreme in their faith.  This will be the best year and hardest year you have experienced.

• The Nation’s Christian Crisis Response Training Program
  The Christian Crisis Response Chaplain Credential (CRC)

  This new program prepares individuals to properly and adequately respond to a crisis of varied circumstances, whether it be in the church, workplace or civic arena and who yearns to come alongside those who are hurting.  Crisis, trauma and disaster represents both opportunity and danger – opportunity, to minister to those who are hurting, and danger, where pain and trauma strips us of our joy and can destroy a soul forever… sometimes for life. But, God is always in our trouble, and He has no greater plan than to work through his people as His conduit to tell his people that He will make a way. If you have meaningful influence in the life of another individual, either as a member of the local police force, ambulance/EMT, nurse, doctor, school teacher, pastor, therapist, or any position that involves the opportunity to provide Godly counsel, wisdom and care in a time of crisis, you must pursue this credential.  When the need arises during a local disaster or crisis, from teen suicide, car accident, terminal illness, fire, hurricane, tornado or various other times associated with the day to day disasters associated with this life, be prepared to offer the kind of Godly care and wisdom that comes with having achieved the CRC credential.

• Caring for Teens God's Way 

  In a nation that claims to be very dedicated to teens, shamefully they are one of our most underserved populations. And with the exception of those adults who really care about today’s teens, they have no advocate. I love the quote from Fran Stott, “Every kid needs at least one person who is crazy about them.”

  Featuring 30 cutting-edge lectures from some of the world’s best counseling experts, Caring for Teens God’s Way is designed to help us lead the way – to create an “army of leaders” who love and effectively care for teens in our homes, counseling centers, churches, communities and more.

• Caring for People God's Way                                        Whether you teach a Sunday school class, are a stay-at-home mom counseling a lot of friends and family over the phone or a cup of coffee, or are an attending physician or nurse helping hurting individuals and families who need hope and healing every day whatever your occupation may be, this program is something that will really enable you to do great things as you serve people.

• Godly Leadership 101                                                   National speaker, author, radio host will spend time teaching on what a godly leader looks like and how to walk as one.  Bill has over 25 years in the ministry and loves to pour into students who are ready to lead for their generation.

• Wild at Heart

  What does it mean to be a Christian man? Some guys think it means going to church every Sunday. Some think it's not doing anything wild. To be tamed. Some think it's being nice. The past few weeks, at church, we have been doing a mens study on this called Wild at Heart: A Band of Brothers and I have been pleasantly surprised with the reaction.  The guys at Xtreme will be walking through this life changing series together.

• Captivating                                                                    Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are the secret to the feminine heart. Your longings and desires are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. The series starts out talking about the heart.  Each young lady at Xtreme will be going through this life changing series.

• Old and New Testament Survey                                           It's important for each student know know about the Bible and spend time studying the Word.

• Attachments                                                                    Why you love, feel and act the way you do.  God created us to be involved in relationships with others.  The way we feel, act and relate to others is found in our "attachement style".  In this course, Dr.s. Tim Clinton and Gary Sibey will help you identify attachement styles, understand how they develop, and recongnaize how to create secure bonds with others and or break free from negative attachment patterns.  By doing so, you can enjoy a deepr, more fulfilling life with God and those you love, while becoming equipped to help other people do the saem through various care-giving opportunities.

• Sexual Addictions                                                             This course covers how to assess the presence of asexual addiction in a person, including distinctions between male and female addicts.  It offers a five-deimension outline for healing and transformation including how to help the spouse of a sex addict - offering a message of hope for marital restoration.

• Heathly Sexuality                                                       “Healthy Sexuality” is a Distance Learning Certificate Program consisting of a five-units of study—a total of 30, 1-hour lectures developed through AACC’s Center for Biblical Counseling. This 4th educational program from the Center offers the knowledge, skill, and encouragement needed to more effectively address the myriad number of sexual issues and challenges we face today.

• Caring for Kids God's Way 

  In a nation that claims to be very dedicated to kids, shamefully they are our most underserved population. And with the exception of those adults who really care about children, they have no advocate. I love the quote from Fran Stott, “Every child needs at least one person who is crazy about them.”

  Caring for Kids God’s Way is designed to help us lead the way – to create an “army of leaders” who love and effectively care for kids in our homes, counseling centers, churches, communities and more. When you look over the curriculum, I think you’ll agree it is one of our best programs ever.

• Courageous Living                                                                   Each presentation provides clinically sensitive, relevant and Christ-centered insights for individuals and/or families struggling with personal or relational issues. Each class installment features a leading Christian counselor and family expert who share their years of professional experience and wisdom. You’ll find this class to be an excellent resource for use in your counseling and/or discipling ministries.

 We are adding a few more classes as we speak.  Spiritual giftings along with others will soon make its way to the Xtreme campus.  Xtreme has a lot to offer through our Mentorship Institute, this is just the education area.
