The program is designed to resource individuals and is further complemented when a group of students join together in their local church to discuss what has been learned. It is at this point the local church has an integral part to play.
Eight subjects are covered, providing the students with a sound, practical grounding in the Word of God.
The fieldwork component of the course provides 25% hands-on training in the local church, a valuable asset to any Senior Pastor.
This program is an amazing opportunity to not only empower the individual but to also provide a safe environment in which to develop relationships. Regardless of your background or age group, this course brings with it the uniting bond of the Word and invariably, community.
