Tier ONe
Tier one consists of 4 college-level courses, each 9 weeks long, over the course of one year:
- SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
- THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS
- THE BIBLICAL NARRATIVE
- PRINCIPLES OF MINISTRY LEADERSHIP
Students from local churches will gather together at a central location each week. Each course will meet one night per week and is taught by dynamic, effective pastors (click HERE to see who is on our teaching team) who will bring the material to life. Students will be challenged by some of the best ministry resources available and each teaching will be followed by discussion led by local pastors. All students will also be involved in ministry in their local churches.
At the end of Tier One, students will receive a Certificate of Completion which will allow them to apply to Tier Two.
