Growing up is a process.  Our goal is to help you to discern where you         spiritually in you growth with the Lord.  Then after you’ve located yourself,         you should be able to take the necessary steps to grow out of that stage and ultimately grow into full maturity spiritually with the Lord.

Rev. Tony Cooke

Why is it that the ministry seems to have such a high casualty rate?  It is estimated that for every ten young men who graduate from Bible School or Seminary and enter ministry that only one of them will still be in ministry when they reach retirement age.

In this course, Tony shares about six major areas where the enemy works to destroy ministers or greatly impair their effectiveness:

The GOLD (dealing with money)

The GIRLS (dealing with the opposite sex)

The GLORY (dealing with pride)

The GRIND (dealing with burnout)

The GRINCHES (dealing with difficult people)

The GOOFINESS (dealing with false doctrines, extremes, and imbalances)

If you are serious about finishing your course with joy, you need to be equipped with the knowledge that is found in “Ministry Killers You Must Conquer.”

Dr. Jim Kaseman

Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, is getting His Body ready for His soon       return. That’s why it is vital, for those who are called into the five fold ministry, to function in the proper place in the Body of Christ. We will look at the offices of Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist and Teacher. We need to see how they are to function in the Body of Christ today with a biblical balance, avoiding radical viewpoints and extremes.

Rev. Dana Nile

This class will give students a foundation for understanding what Biblical missions are and what they are not.  It begins by looking at the history of missions followed by current trends and strategies and finishes strong with what we the Church must do to reach and disciple people from every nation, tribe, tongue and people group.  Every student will know the correct answers to the following three basic questions:  What is the primary task of the Church?  Who is a missionary?  And where is the real mission field?

Pastors Mark & Brenda Thomas

Marriage was instituted by God to bring the ultimate happiness, fulfillment and pleasure into our lives.  In this course, we will discuss how to balance the roles of husband and wife, along with the ministry so that we may preserve and enjoy the benefits of this God-given covenant.

To be accountable simply means “to be answerable.” Accountability means “worth, standing, importance.” It is also a word of contradiction. It equally means, “kill, capture, or disable.” We are people of accountability. Before the foundation of the world, God called us to be accountable, to give answer for our lives. Depending on whom we answer, we are either going to be people of “worth or right standing” with Him, vitally important in the Body of Christ, or we are going to be people who are “killed, captured, and disabled.” We need to answer correctly. The Bible states a man has joy by the answer of his mouth. So we are going to study accountability, what it truly is, and what happens when we don’t answer correctly.

Dr. Jim Kaseman

The doctrine of the church, or ecclesiology, is the study of the church in its nature, ordinances, ministry, mission and government. Since the church is the Divinely constituted body through which the Gospel is preached and believers are matured, the careful study and clear understanding of it are obviously important.

Dr. Jim Kaseman

The God of the Bible is a God who speaks. From creation, all down through history, God revealed Himself by speaking. It has pleased God that revelations of Himself have been preserved for Mankind today in the book called “The Word of God” or the Bible. The Bible is the account of God’s effort to reveal Himself to man. Therefore, it is important, that we understand something concerning the     Bible’s origin, its formation, its authority, inerrancy, and Divine inspiration. These will be considered under the study of Bibliology.

We have been entrusted to deliver God’s message to people, believers and unbelievers alike. This stewardship cannot be approached or handled lightly. This course is designed to guide and provide you with the tools, principles, and disciplines that will equip you to be an effective communicator and not just a speaker.

Joyce Erickson

This eight-lesson course on Spirit-led Prayer is designed to assist the student in learning the basics of praying out of his or her spirit to the Lord.  Critical to all believers is the necessity of understanding how to effectively pray.  It begins by spending intimate time alone with the Lord on a regular and consistent basis to deepen one’s fellowship, which then leads to praying effectively for others.  Illustrations of spirit-led prayer will be initiated during class time to assist the student in cultivating that “alone time” with God, corporate praying, as well as preparation for a lifetime of spirit-filled praying and living the spirit-led life.

Rev. Tony Cooke

Pastor Roger & Melanie Langworthy

This six-session course on The Local Church is intended to help the student develop a biblical overview of God’s purpose for His people on the earth.  In addition to the biblical perspective, practical perspectives will also be shared in order to help establish and maintain a healthy, functional, and effectual local church.

Dr. Jim Kaseman

Theology or the Doctrine of God is a very important subject. God is man’s highest good; He is the Source of life and sustenance, “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being…….”(Acts 17:28a). There is serious doubt that we can really know ourselves and our purpose in life without some degree of knowledge of God and His will. Instead of describing the study of all biblical truth, we will more specifically describe the study of God, His existence, nature, names, attributes and works.

Pastor Tim Gilligan

In this teaching, Pastor Tim will answer vital questions such as:

How do we get “unstuck” from old seasons of defeat and frustration where we’ve been trapped for so long?

How do we get rid of the hurts, disappointments, and failures of our past once and for all?

How can we perpetuate and increase the blessings God desires for us to carry from season to season?

So, get ready to embrace a new season!

In this day we live in too many believers base their lives by the title they hold and  try to force people to respect them because of their title. Titles are not worth the paper they are printed on or the ink that is used to print it.

Character is what makes a man or woman useful in the Kingdom of God. And the title that God gives us is the title we need to live by!! That title is Faithful Servant.

Matthew 20:26, 28 gives us our God given and ordained titles…

Vs. 26 Yet is shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to    become great among you, let him be your servant.

Vs. 28 …….just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but  to serve…..

Luke 16:12      And if you have not been faithful in what is another     man’s, who will give you what is your own?

Dr. Jim Kaseman

If one wants a clear and harmonious understanding of Scriptures, it is important to become well acquainted with God’s plan of the ages and dispensations and their outstanding features.

Rev. Jon Colyer

In this course you will catch the heart of the evangelist and leave with a
burning desire to see the lost come to Christ and the prodigal come home.
Jon teaches on the ministry of the evangelist and what that involves both
from a spiritual and a natural perspective. Jon shares from his experience
of over 25 different nations, the dynamics of ministering effectively
throughout the world.

In this course we learn:

* The absolute necessity of evangelism
* The role of the evangelist within the body of Christ
* How to give altar calls that bring people running to Christ
* The different dynamics of international travel and ministry
* How to establish and build a successful itinerant ministry

Pastor Dana Nile

This course is designed to help people go, live successfully and finish an assignment on the mission field. To those thinking I’ll never be a missionary, (never say never), but even if it’s true you could easily find yourself in a position to help someone called to do so. Furthermore, a significant portion of this course covers spiritual, mental and emotional stress associated with major lifestyle change which everyone can go through at some level without even moving to the mission field.

This course also covers some practical aspects like raising support to go, finding living accommodations once arrived, to learn or not to learn the language, working with interpreters, interaction with foreign (to you) governments and indigenous Church principles.

Rev. Tony Cooke

Do You Know God’s Heart Concerning Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage?

Our passion should be to have the God-kind of marriage! A Spirit-led, love-dominated believer is not looking for an easy way out, but is searching for divine solutions to make marriage work. These messages present vital keys to help husbands and wives fulfill God’s original purpose for marriage.

But what do we do when God’s ideal was not realized in a marriage? Divorced people have often been treated as though they had committed the unpardonable sin. Some have been deeply wounded by their covenant partner, only to be doubly-wounded by a church that shames them and condemns remarriage.

This course explores what the Bible really teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage, and refutes widely held myths and traditions.

Dr. Ken Stewart

Most school and church leaders have never been trained in how to respond when sexual exploitation of children is discovered. Sadly, the same is also true of parents. In this course we will learn how to recognize a molester, pay attention to our children, and respond by being prepared.

Dr. Rick Renner

God knows how to reach every person and every group of people. If you will let the Lord have His way and allow Him to operate as He wishes, you may find yourself surprised, just as Paul was, by the kind of power that God can cause to operate through you. Rather than say, “This person is so hard to reach” or “this city is dark and so hard to penetrate,” why don’t you open up your heart and decide to let the Holy Spirit unleash His powerful, creative abilities to work through you? If he did it through Paul, He can do it through you.
