In this course we explore the principles of homiletics, which is the art and science of preaching. Why preaching is necessary, what goes into sermon preparation, determining the purpose of a sermon, identifying the parts and developing a sermon outline, and principles of successful sermon delivery will all be examined. Special consideration will be given to connecting with the audience and getting the desired response from the people.

Changes That Heal helps people grow spiritually and emotionally into the adults that God meant them to be. The course also helps people connect more deeply so they can enjoy authentic relationships by understanding themselves and others better. The module will help you to understand God’s principles and encourage you to deepen your connection with Him and others. You will be guided through a process that will change how you live your life and improve your relationships. The Changes That Heal module is designed to assist participants in a growth process with God and other people as follows: 1. God has given us the answers to healing our emotional, spiritual, and relational problems. 2. This healing comes from growing into completeness through a process of spiritual growth. 3. God designed this process to be done in relationship with Him and other people.

The emphasis on this course is to convey methods, processes and procedures required to accomplish God-given mandates. Through appropriating these methods, processes and procedures in our lives, we will experience maximum effectiveness for God in His designed work and bring about a succession plan for future generations. Every leader must be equipped to lead Godly change – motivated and feeling value by contributing to something significant; achieving God’s mandates; laying a solid foundation for all God wants to build. This course will help you passionately facilitate the effective leading of your people throughout your ministry. It’s not only what a leader accomplishes today but what they set in motion for tomorrow. God wants us to transform His people in the process of transacting His work.

Believers communicate the most valuable message of all time – the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is fitting that we ensure we are using every avenue to ensure that we not only speak the Truth accurately, but also that the hearer is learning. In this module we will look at six principles of learning and teaching. This will assist the student in preparing to teach and train others. This class is not about the content of what needs to be taught, but focuses on the communication of how it is taught.

This course is designed to provide students with an overview of how to effectively minister to children.  This course will also examine teaching methods, practical tips to ministering to the different developmental stages of children, youth and young adults.  Policies and procedures necessary for health and safety standards will also be addressed.

This class examines the importance of Worship in the Church and in the believer’s individual life and is conducted over the entire course of your 2 year study. Various types and methods of praise and worship are discussed along with an emphasis upon practical application. We will focus on developing an awareness of the presence of God throughout the day, examine the progression of worship and the role of God’s Word in our life of worship. When responding to Martha regarding her complaint about her sister Mary, Jesus said, “one thing is necessary…” which Mary had chosen. Living in His presence, focused upon His Word is that one thing. This study will aid in developing that awareness.

All ministry happens in relationship with others. There are many pitfalls in ministry when one does not understand personal responsibility in the context of interpersonal relationships. This course will describe and demonstrate what these concepts are and are not. The student will learn how to set up proper personal boundaries in their life to relate and minister to others in a healthy and God-honoring way. These boundaries will help the student understand their own personal responsibility towards in both protecting and resourcing their life.
