Communication

COMMUNICATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS

There are many ways in which the BSSM Team will communicate with you, including a Student Mentor emailing you, connection during Revival Group, a small group message group, and more. Our BSSM Online staff will mainly communicate with you through email. You will get a Weekly Announcement Email at the start of each week. This weekly email contains important information and updates regarding the schedule, homework, announcements, and events for the following week and month.

We also have a Student Bulletin where we put news and events, and where you can find helpful resources such as the Testimony form and answers to FAQs. You can access the Student Bulletin through your portal and in ever weekly announcement email. If you can't recall which email the information you're looking for was in, it will most likely be on your Student Bulletin!

Note: Your Student Mentor will meet with you when you have questions or issues. They will also get to know you more personally whether through Small Group and/or Revival Groups. Sharing testimonies and areas you are passionate about helps your RGP / Student Mentor get to know you better. If a Student Mentor, Revival Group Pastor, or one of our staff requests a meeting with you, you are not in trouble! We probably just want to clarify some things with you and seek to support you. Typically we ask that you contact your Student Mentor if you have a financial burden, a situation that you need their advice or help with, and for any direction needed with school assignments. Your Student Mentor will make sure the RGP is brought in on anything that needs their attention. Please feel free to copy your RGP into any email correspondence with your Student Mentor if you think the information may be pertinent to them.

Students are also expected to notify their Student Mentors by email if they know they will be absent for any reason. If you do not login, please let them know your reason and whether you need any additional support.

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES

Social media is an important part of our world. When you attend our school, you don’t just become a student in our school; you become a reflection of our house. With that said, there is a responsibility you have to represent this house well in every area of life, including your activity on social media. You have the opportunity to communicate to the world about the revival that is happening in our midst, however please be mindful that public posts about revival manifestations may not be helpful to the world without proper context, history, or awareness of Bethel’s core values. We trust you and believe in the power of your voice to impact nations!

Generally speaking, we discourage you from taking photos and videos during class, as we feel this distracts you from getting all you can out of our worship, instruction, and impartation meetings.
Honor your classmates and refrain from capturing and posting their moments of encounter on social media. Posting photos or videos on social media of manifestations can be confusing to those who have not yet encountered the Holy Spirit in that way.
BSSM Online staff or Student Mentors may have a discussion with you about what you are posting on social media if they are concerned that you are not following these guidelines.

Please do not create Facebook Pages for fundraising (for tuition or mission trips). Rather, Facebook Groups are much better for this purpose.
All text, design, graphics, trademarks, service marks, and trade names, including “Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry” and the acronyms “BSM,” “BSSM” and “BSSM Online” (collectively the “Marks”) are proprietary to Bethel Church of Redding, or other respective owners that have been granted permission by Bethel Church of Redding to use such Marks. Please do not use any of our trademarked names, logos, or acronyms for the title of any public Facebook Page, Group, Profile; Twitter account; Instagram account; Snapchat account, etc.
You may use the acronym BSSM or BSSM Online in the title of a Facebook group ONLY when it is a private closed group. For example: “BSSM Online Homeschool Moms 2019-20”
If you record a testimony from someone outside of our environment, be sure to get their verbal or written permission before posting to social media. In fact, you could record their verbal permission.

TESTIMONIES

Testimonies fuel our environment. They allow us to celebrate the goodness of God and increase our faith to believe God will do it again. Your testimony is a weapon that will impact people around the world as you share it through conversations, writing, and social media platforms! It will leave a legacy for future students and believers globally, inspiring them to see God to do the impossible again.

Some practical ways you can share your testimony:

You can submit your testimonies on the BSSM Online Testimony form found on the front page of your Student Bulletin. Go ahead and read through some of our testimonies on the Bethel Website: https://www.bethel.com/testimonies.

As you share your testimonies, we want to encourage you to do it with an attitude of honor for those you have ministered to and the places you have ministered in. Also, please make sure you keep your stories as accurate and honest as you can, paying careful attention to the details of each testimony. We believe God values integrity and will move powerfully through it!
