Charis Bible College is a religious educational institution whose current repository footprint includes Andrew Wommack's ministry environment, its Practical Government School, direct roster-style ties to Derrick Wilburn, Richard Harris, Mark Cowart, and Andrew Wommack, plus current ProPublica nonprofit evidence for the separate Charis Bible Colleges Inc legal-entity layer.
In this repository, Charis Bible College matters because its own program pages and catalog provide direct institutional evidence for a Practical Government training environment that overlaps with the Derrick Wilburn and Truth & Liberty source set, while newer reporting, nonprofit-filing material, and affiliate-audit evidence place Charis inside a broader Andrew Wommack and Woodland Park local-power cluster. The current corpus now also includes a direct ProPublica organization-endpoint capture for Charis Bible Colleges Inc, resolving the entity to 800 Gospel Truth Way in Woodland Park and exposing extracted filing rows through tax year 2023. That strengthens the separate legal-entity layer, but it still does not justify broader employment or payroll claims for everyone named in Charis materials.
- Andrew Wommack: direct institutional leadership presence and the clearest named figure tied to Charis in the current corpus.
- Andrew Wommack Ministries: current reporting and response material show repeated overlap with Charis in Woodland Park disputes and shared executive context. Newer public records support both older Charis trade names under AWM and a separate
Charis Bible Colleges, Inc. entity, so the exact present-day legal relationship should still be described cautiously.
- New Life Association: AWM-hosted audit material places
Charis Bible Colleges, Inc. within the New Life Association affiliate structure.
- New Life Holding Corporation: current public records support a property-holder relationship around the broader Woodland Park campus footprint rather than direct proof that every Charis parcel is titled to Charis itself.
- Practical Government School: Charis hosts the program and describes it as training students to impact government from a biblical worldview.
- Truth & Liberty: the Practical Government page identifies Richard Harris as both the program's director and Truth & Liberty executive director.
- Derrick Wilburn: the catalog and related self-description materials support an instructor-list / curriculum-teaching role in the Practical Government program, not payroll terms, contract terms, current status after the captured period, or stronger institutional authority claims.
- Christian nationalism: current repo support places Charis inside a Colorado Christian-political organizing cluster where biblical-worldview governance training and school-governance conflict are materially relevant.
- Seven Mountains Mandate: the broader Wommack / Charis source cluster ties Charis to institutional influence language around government and public life, though the concept link remains narrower than a full doctrinal claim about every Charis program.
