Leadership I: This is a cutting edge study teaching the foundational
principles of leadership. You will discover that there are five very
important keys to effective church leadership. A violation of any one
of the five will greatly hinder the leader’s ability to be effective.
Leadership II: This course strives to stretch the leader to a high level
of understanding and ability as a leader. Because of the uniqueness of
our times, you will be challenged to accept nothing less than a standard
of excellence.
Pastoral Studies I: The Church is living in unprecedented times. The
21st century pastor has challenges totally unique to his generation.
This class is designed to equip those whom God has called to be pastors
and those who assist pastors.
Pastoral Studies II: Today’s pastors must be able to shift with the
times without compromising truth. Level II is designed to assist a
pastor or assistant in making the transition without compromise.
Apostolic Patterns and Methods I: The phenomenal results of the 1st
century Church cannot be questioned. They established a pattern that
we are to follow, but what was it and what were the methods of evangelism
they used? You will be inspired to discover just how simple their methods
were.
Apostolic Patterns and Methods II: This class teaches how to transfer a
1st century pattern into a 21st century application. It is a practical
look at the principles behind the Apostolic methods of the 1st century,
and will help you put them into immediate practice.
Church History: As you trace the Pentecostal message from its birth to
the 21st century, you will gain a greater appreciation for Biblical truth,
and for the courageous people who sacrificed to preserve it for our
generation.
The Dynamics of Soul Winning: This course promotes a burden for souls
and inspires the student to reach out to the people around them with the
Gospel through simple, effective methods.
The Epistles: Epistles are “letters”, and letters have always been an
effective way to communicate. God chose letters to effectively communicate
HIS will and purpose to HIS church. This course is designed to give a
summary of each letter.
Equipping the Apostolic Minister I: There are many preachers, but not
many ministers. The primary focus of the Equipping the Apostolic Minister
series is to bring balance to both the spiritual and the practical aspects
of ministry. Level I primarily deals with the call to ministry, and
exactly what that means.
Equipping the Apostolic Minister II: Equipping the Apostolic Minister II
teaches how to effectively bring balance to the ministry of the Word and
Spirit. Both must be ministered.
Equipping the Apostolic Minister III: Equipping the Apostolic Minister III
teaches the importance of prayer, intercession, spiritual warfare, and the ministry of angels.
The Four Gospels / Harmony of the Gospels: In a chronological study of the
Gospels, you will compare and contrast the overlapping and consistent
accounts of our wonderful Savior and Redeemer.
Guest Instructor (Pastoral Studies): Pastoral topics are covered by
experienced, anointed instructors chosen by the local campus Dean. They
will challenge all present to dig deeper, reach higher and let God use
their lives for His glory.
Guest Instructor (Leadership): A variety of leadership topics are covered
by experienced, anointed instructors chosen by the local campus Dean.
They will challenge all present to dig deeper, reach higher and let God
use their lives for His glory.
Historical Books / Poetical Books: The history of Israel, God’s chosen
people, was written for our example, so that we can learn from both their
mistakes and successes. The poetical books are considered some of the
greatest literature ever written; nothing the world has to offer matches
the value of these books.
The Importance of Apostolic Doctrine: Apostolic Doctrine… what is it? It
is the foundation of the Church and all true Apostolic ministry. This
class teaches its importance and why it must not be compromised or
minimized.
Introduction to the Word / Pentateuch: The study of the five books written
by Moses will give you a historical, legislative, and spiritual look at
just how much God loves and desires a relationship with His people.
The Life and Ministry of Christ: This course studies the earthly life and
ministry of Jesus Christ. You will soon understand and appreciate how He
lived and ministered on the earth as both perfect man and perfect God.
Major Prophets: These great men of God wrote under the inspiration of the
Holy Ghost. Learn how incredible the writers and their books are, both in
volume and in content.
Ministry of the Apostles I: A careful study of the Apostles’
ministry will reveal how their doctrine and authority distinguished them
from others. You will recognize the relevance for the Church today and
will be motivated to become an extension of true Apostolic ministry.
Ministry of the Apostles II: The zeal and passion for
evangelism as exampled by the Apostles of the 1st century Church is,
without question, where the Church of today must return. This is an
up-close and personal look at true Apostolic ministry as recorded in the
last 21 chapters of the book of Acts.
Minor Prophets: From the lives of these Old Testament prophets, you will
see how God can use anyone from any background. They demonstrate how
depth of obedience to God measures true success.
The New Birth: Jesus said you must be born again. This class teaches the
essentiality of the new birth as recorded in John 3:5 and exactly what is
required to be born again.
The Oneness of God: Is God one or three? This class is in an in-depth
study of the Oneness of God and clearly proves from the Holy Scriptures
that God is one.
Perfecting Holiness in the Fear of God: This course will fill you with
fresh respect and revelation for the Holiness of God. It correctly
teaches holiness as a divine principle that must be perfected in everyone
who calls himself or herself a disciple of Christ. You will learn that
holiness first must begin in the heart, before it can effectively shine
out to others.
The Book of Revelation: Are we really living in the last days? Though not
an exhaustive study of prophecy, this class attempts to bring a correct
understanding of the Book of Revelation.
The Tabernacle: Discover the many types and shadows found in the Tabernacle
plan that God gave to Moses, and how it is a picture of God’s New Testament
plan.
The Twelve Apostles: Through a close look at the strengths and weaknesses
of Jesus' closest followers, you will learn how God used each Apostle’s
unique personality in an effective ministry.
Water Baptism/The Name: The doctrine of Jesus' name baptism sets us apart,
and through this course you will understand from the Scriptures how vital
and powerful the name of Jesus is in your life.
