Program Objectives

The objectives of the Practical Ministry diploma program are to:

• Provide a synoptic overview of Christian ministry and its practices, perspectives, and attitudes as needed to fulfill or ably support the duties and initiatives of a ministry position.
• Provide a general understanding of apostolic and prophetic foundations as scripture’s organic root to accustom students to the uniqueness of Apostolic Christianity as the ecclesia’s taproot.
• Frame and enlarge student’s consciousness formatted and trained to traditional evangelical ideas only to adapt apostleship as the Bible’s organic foundation so they know how to attract, appeal to, and transform their followers, students, and mentees into Apostolic Christians according to Scripture.
• Reiterate the psyche and behaviors Christ’s new creation developments such as salvation and redemption fostered by the principles of the Holy Spirit’s seal, sanctification, and sovereignty in and over the believer.
• Draw comparative lines between religion versus redemption and culture versus Christianity so students can propagate and defend their education in the church and the world.
• Motivate the student’s learning path from typical gift expression dominance to the Lord’s rationale for office execution and how the two work together in active ministry.
• Draw critical parallels between student private devotions to show how they must change for student to become effective in service to public office.
• Illustrate for students God as a savior and sovereign separately and jointly through lectures and examples on the Godhead.
• Expound on for students the fundaments of threefold and five-fold leadership and their duty to kingdom service and government.
• Review routine ministry acts that are spiritually utilized, such as spiritual gifts, prophecy, priestly service and more for theory to make its way into practice for students to replace idealic conceptions with down to earth realities.
