For the past few years, CVSOM has been hosted at The Legacy Christian Church. This has been a wonderful hub for our students from many local churches and our instructors to come together, fellowship, and go deeper in the Word of God. However, we believe that the blessing of CVSOM shouldn’t be limited to the Fresno / Clovis area. CVSOM was founded on the desire to help churches develop leaders within their specific ministry context here in the Central Valley. Our students are being transformed by the truth and equipped to lead people in following Jesus with a solid biblical foundation. We believe that God wants CVSOM to reach beyond the boundary lines of Fresno County and expand to other locations in the Central Valley.
The Legacy Christian Church is currently the only host location for CVSOM. We would like to invite other churches in the surrounding areas to become hosts for a CVSOM remote location. This church would become the meeting place on Tuesday nights for students to come and learn together in community through live instruction. Legacy would livestream the classes, and students in the remote locations could tune in from their location, have access to a chat box for questions, and participate in table discussions in real time. About once a month, we would like to send our instructors to the remote location to give that cohort the "in-person" experience, while those at the Legacy campus connect from their location. When we have weekend seminars, our dream is to have all of the students from remote locations come together in one place to encourage one another and participate in the unity of the Kingdom of God!
Our vision is big, but we need to start somewhere! Legacy already owns live streaming equipment (i.e., cameras, live streaming software, and i pads). All we need is a person to run the livestream! With the support of partners, we can pay them $25 an hour to attend Tuesday night classes and occasional weekend seminars, to run the live stream, and to help the remote church location set up their system to tune into classes!
