Course Descriptions

Course Title: A Sure Foundation Instructor: Andrew Wommack Two subjects are covered in this class. The Integrity of the Word expounds on the truth, surety, and infallibility of God’s Word. Christian Philosophy shows us that we all have a system of thought but challenges us to examine if it is according to the Word or the world.

Course Title: The Basics of Righteousness Instructor: Andrew Wommack This class teaches about our Spirit, Soul, and Body and Identity in Christ. Spirit, Soul, and Body is a study that explains how our spirits are complete in Jesus if we are born again and how our souls and bodies should relate to our spirits. The Identity in Christ study shows us from Scripture who we are in Christ—our righteousness and justification.

Course Title: Galatians Instructor: Barry Bennett Class Paul’s inspired letter which is often referred to as the ‘Magna Carta’ of Christian liberty is reviewed and studied in terms of its great themes: grace, revelation, our identity in Christ, faith, the Law vs. the blessing of Abraham, and life in the Spirit Course Title: Healing Instructor: Barry Bennett The Christian life includes physical health for all who believe. It is as much God’s will that we be physically whole as it is that we be born again. Before anyone can have faith for healing, they must be certain of God’s will. Faith cannot go beyond the knowledge of God’s will and God’s ways in the area of health and healing. This course will establish principles for health and healing and will explain healing in terms of the spirit, soul and body of man. We will learn what is required of us as faith filled Christians, and what is God’s part in the process of receiving health in our bodies. Course Title: Prosperity God’s Way Instructor: Greg Mohr This course is designed to help the student develop the right relationship with money and run the love of money out of his/her soul. Jesus tells us in Luke 16 that faithfulness in that which is least – money – will qualify us to be entrusted with true riches – eternal souls. These lessons will establish the student in the purpose of prosperity; identify the real enemies of prosperity and the right attitudes to develop toward finances.

Course Title: Relationship with God I & II Instructor: Andrew Wommack This study emphasizes four important truths about God and man’s relationship with Him. The Nature of God is a study of God that distinguishes between His character and His acts, contrasting the Old Testament with the New Testament. Hardness of Heart deals with one of the major barriers that keep us from accepting all of God’s truth. Authority of the Believer helps us receive the blessings God has for us and shows us how to stop Satan from robbing us. God’s Not Guilty shows us from Scripture that God is not the author of our problems, nor does He cause bad things to happen to us.

Course Title: Prayer Minister Training Instructor: D. Amstutz & C. Terradez Be trained in how to minister to those in need of healing. This course will equip any believer, from new convert to

senior pastor, to confidently and effectively minister Course Title: Fruit of the Spirit Instructor: Greg Mohr God’s very first words to man connects our success in life to our fruitfulness. – Gen. 1:28. The kind of fruit each believer is called to produce is described in Gal. 5:22-23. This is a picture of the life and nature of Jesus. This course is an in-depth study of each aspect of the fruit of the Spirit. You will learn the purpose, the rewards, and the means to fully develop and manifest the fruit of the Spirit in your life and ministry. Course Title: Excellence in Ministry Instructor: Greg Mohr This course covers two key aspects of ministry development and success: 1) Identifying and establishing core values your life and ministry are grounded in. Compromise, deception, and failure are averted when core values are established in the heart of the minister; 2) The essential leadership principles necessary for the minister to both lead people to fulfill his/her vision and become a leader worth following. Course Title: Receiving from God I & II Instructor: Andrew Wommack This class covers the subjects of Prayer, Healing, Blessings and Miracles, and Harnessing Your Emotions. Course Title: Possess the Land Instructor: Barry Bennett In this course you will come to understand the relationship between the children of Israel possessing the Promised Land, and believers possessing the ‘Land of Promises.’ What does it mean to possess the Truth, possess eternal life, our new identity in Christ, our thought life, and God’s prosperity? Finally, how do we drive out the enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy? Course Title: Principles of Grace and Faith Instructor: Rick McFarland The purpose of this course is to understand what grace and faith is and how they operate in our relationship towards God and also how they operate towards those around us in our daily life. This course is designed to bring the Christian into a balance of receiving God’s grace by faith and demonstrating that grace to all those around us. Course Title: Life Foundations Instructor: Carrie Pickett In the Life Foundations course, you will learn 6 key foundational truths that will revolutionize your relationship with God, empower you to overcome every attack of the enemy, and give you the ability to minister to anyone, at any time about anything. The most important part of a structure is its foundation. These truths will help you establish a firm foundation in the Word of God. Course Title: The Making of a Minister I & II Instructor: Andrew Wommack Attend Bible College, complete the required courses, receive your ministerial license and ordination papers, and then you are a minister, right? Wrong! God’s ways are not man’s ways. This course will help you understand the difference between man’s and God's qualifications for ministers. By the end of this course you will either be determined to prepare your heart or stay as far away from ministry as possible. Course Title: How to Get Along with People Instructor: Andrew Wommack Someone once said, if it weren't for people, the ministry would be great. However, the ministry is all about people, so it's critically important to learn how to develop relationships and develop them with the right people. When conflict does arise-and it will-it's also crucial to know how to resolve that conflict according to the Word of God. God's solution works, but you have to know it to put it into practice.

Course Title: Laws of the Kingdom Instructor: Barry Bennett This is a study of the spiritual laws that govern creation and how we can cooperate with those laws in order to enjoy victorious Christian living. Course Title: How to Flow in the Gifts Instructor: Greg Mohr “How to Flow in the Gifts” is as follows: God gives us specific instruction in I Cor. 12:1 not to be ignorant of spiritual gifts. Yet this is something many Christians and churches are most ignorant about. These wonderful gifts are given to us to access when our knowledge of the Word (not the Word) and natural resources are not enough to get ourselves and others through a difficult time in life. The basis of our study will be from I Cor. 12, 13, & 14. The goal of this course is to equip each student to understand, be comfortable with, and confident in releasing and operating the gifts in order. We will provide time during class to activate the gifts. Course Title: Acts: Power of Supernatural Living Instructor: Barry Bennett A study of the early church and the keys to its power. Emphasis will be placed on the message of the early church, the purpose of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Name, the importance of the Word, the power of prayer, and the mission and growth of the church. Course Title: Life of Christ Instructor: Greg Mohr God has given each of us a unique purpose and destiny to fulfill. Yet our highest purpose is to be conformed to the image of His Son - Rom. B:28-29. This course is a study in how you may appropriate and manifest the life of Christ - His character and nature - in the earth today. The focus of this teaching is to help you identify and yield to the image of Christ and to walk in Christ-likeness. Course Title: Answers to Important Questions I-II Instructor: Barry Bennett A course designed to answer the most prevalent questions that many Christians have concerning the Bible and the ways of God in the world. Questions to be answered will include those dealing with suffering and tragedies, the Trinity, Job, Paul’s thorn, Ananias and Sapphira, Sabbath keeping and many others.

Course Title: Faith in a Supernatural God I Instructor: Dan Funkhouser This subject deals with recognizing the ability of God through our lives in ministry. Learning how to appropriate the supernatural ability of God in our lives, it deals with the supernatural powers that be. including: 1) Angelic, 2) Demonic Spirits, 3) The overcoming victorious powers of our Lord. Course Title: Heart Matters Instructor: Daniel Amstutz Just when you thought you had spirit, soul and body understood , then you hear about the importance of getting the Word of God from your head to your heart. If I'm a three part being, where does that fit? Is the spirit the heart? What about evil thoughts coming from men's hearts as Mark 7:21 states? If my spirit is made new in Christ and complete in Christ, then if my heart is my spirit, how can I doubt in my heart according to Mark 11:23? Is there something wrong with my spirit? ls it possible for your heart to be in neutral? Is it possible for your soul to be in control instead of your spirit? This course deals with all this and way more as we unpack why your heart matters. Course Title: Practical Skills for Godly Relationships Instructor: Arthur Meintjes One of the greatest challenges in life is to get along with other people around us, may it be in the work place, at home and at Church or in ministry. Up to 87% of our success in life is directly related to our ability to get along with other people. The problem with relationships is that 90-95% of the people that we deal with in life are either moderately or severely insecure people. To compound this, most of the time we are also insecure ourselves and

Page 18: “Devoted to Your Growth” Continuing Education for Ministers … · 2019-01-31 · “Devoted to Your Growth” Continuing Education for Ministers Scholarship Requirements . Eligibility:

12/2018

herein lies the problem. There is nothing that kills a relationship or a vision, and a ministry quicker than personal and unresolved insecurities. It is important to realize that getting along with other people has more to do with us than It has to do with them. Even though knowing God's love will effortlessly change us and influence the way we relate to others, we sometimes still need to practically work on getting along with other people.

Course Title: Legal and Financial Concepts Instructor: Lawson Perdue Lawson will review practical concepts of ministry, including filing a 501c3 status, with planning and budgeting for ministry finances. Course Title: 20/20 Vision Instructor: Dean Hawk Having a clearly defined vision for your life and ministry is essential in accomplishing God's plan and purpose here on earth. This course will cover the power of vision, fulfilling God's divine purpose, taking a personal inventory, communicating vision to others, developing an effective strategy, building blocks. and the price of seeing a vision through to the end. Course Title: Ministry, Media and Money Instructor: Stephen Bransford These sessions will provide an overview on the use of media for ministry and fund raising. Elements of video production, newsletters and fund-raising letters will be presented. Andrew Wommack's TV and radio producer, Stephen Bransford brings 30 years of media ministry experience to his lectures. His video productions have helped to raise millions of dollars for such clients as Jim Bakker, Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, Bob Tilton, Andrew Wommack, The American Bible Society, the United Methodist Church, The Year of the Bible, and many others. Using examples from his experience, good and bad, he shows how media can contribute powerfully to the bottom line of a ministry without sacrificing the ethical perspective.

God: We believe in only one true God; One in essence, nature, and attributes, but existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (I Jn. 5:7).

Jesus Christ: We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, of His shed blood on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins, of His bodily resurrection and ascension to the Father’s right hand. We do not believe that He is simply “a” way to the Father, but rather the only way through which we can receive righteousness, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. He is, in fact, our salvation (I Cor. 1:30-31).

Holy Spirit: We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, expressed with speaking in tongues according to Acts 1:8; 2:4; 9:17; 10:44-46; 11:15, 16; and 19:6. We believe this experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new birth, and can be received by faith (Gal. 3:2).

Salvation: We believe that all who, in repentance and faith, receive the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord are born again (Acts 20:20-21; Rom. 10:9-13).

Healing: We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has provided healing for the human body (Mt. 8:16, 17; Isa. 53:4; I Pet. 2:24).

The Resurrection: We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; one to everlasting life and one to everlasting damnation (Mt. 25:46).

The Second Coming: We believe in a literal, physical second return of the Lord Jesus Christ (I Th. 1:10; 4:16-17).

The Church: We believe that the universal church is comprised of all true believers who have received salvation through Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). We also believe in and encourage fellowship with a local church (Heb. 10:25).

Gifts of the Spirit: We believe that spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit are for the common good and building up of others today (I Cor. 12:7).
