Church Office Training
Elder Training
For the co-pastor: preparing and preaching the Word, running ministries, caring for relationships and deepening biblical study.
The elder is a co-pastor: beyond service, he also devotes himself to ministering the Word of God. It is an important and necessary step for those with a pastoral calling.
In this course you learn to prepare a message in line with the Apostolic Vision and to improve your communication and your relationships within the church.
The course also covers administration and the Apostolic Vision, along with deeper study of the Pentateuch, the conquest of the land, the kings and the prophets.
Course objective
To prepare those already helping to run ministries and lead people, so they can shepherd lives and minister the Word with purpose, grounding and real application.
