SOM Overview
Our School of Ministry concept includes educational and practical application opportunities in four essential areas:
Pastoral
The body of Christ is in need of true pastors and teachers who will give attention to the maturing of the saints. (Ephesians 4:11, 12) Our desire is to teach you, from God’s Word, the principles of church government, pastoral counseling and care, and the importance of sound doctrine. This will enable you to lead the saints into maturity. Whether you are called into the ministry or supportive in the ministry, our curriculum will meet your need.
Administrative
One of the greatest needs within growing churches today is the area of administration. Pastors must be released from this area to give attention to prayer and the ministry of the Word. We will use the successful and respected administration of Word of Faith to train you in the basic principles of ministry, finances, organization, leadership, helps and many more practical areas.
Missions
Our desire is to teach students basic principles of operating on the domestic and international mission field. Our practical, “how to” approach will allow students to develop their ministries/mission work in a systematic fashion. We will expose students to different cultures, religions, and methods of integrating into different societies.
Music
We seek to develop God-centered worshippers and Spirit-led ministers of music. Our curriculum combines practical and academic components to equip the student for a genuine worship experience. Therefore, we cannot overemphasize the importance of those called to the music ministry being spiritually trained to carry out their God-given assignment.
Helps
Every member of the Body of Christ is put in the church for a purpose. Every believer has a job to do in helping to care for God’s people. “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.” (1 Cor. 12:28)
Those in the ministry of helps are supernaturally empowered to assist and help the leadership fulfill the vision God has given them. As you are faithful to serve God in the ministry of helps, you will receive the same vision as your leader; and this will cause unity among His people when they are in harmony, worshipping and working together.
