Pastor and Ministers Empowerment Course


 

This course will provide an opportunity for Ministers to critically analyse the theology, dimensions and implications of the Five - Fold Ministry and the Gifts of the Spirit for the 21 Century Church. Ref: Ephesians 4 v 11-12; 1 Corinthians 12 v 12. 

The overarching aim of the programme is to empower God’s ministers for ministry and examine the implications of the Five-Fold Ministry operatively for governance, structure and individuals’ ministry. We will be challenged, equipped, encouraged to broaden our horizons, appraise our roles and where applicable adopt a new approach to 21st Century ministration under the auspices of the Holy Spirit.
