Our Vision
To provide Christ-centric education so that believers from Local Churches and abroad may be empowered. This method facilitates training for all Christian Believers including Ministers of the Gospel within their Local Church environment. We believe that all Christians are called unto Christ and are to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. This is achieved through the discipleship process, thus developing and promoting Christian education within the local church. Our desire is that every student will integrate foundational and Biblical truths with a deeper insight into the Word of God.
Purpose
Our purpose is to assist students in the following manner:
- Build and deepen their walk with the Lord as revealed in His Holy Word through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
- Prepare them for ministry, leadership and servant-hood in the Body of Christ.
- Identify their gifts and functions in the Body of Christ.
- Pursue Biblical knowledge through resources provided by mature men and women of God.
- Guide them to understand the scriptures as the inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God.
- To develop personal growth in Christian character and fellowship with Christ, cultivate faith, discipline, spiritual power and dedication to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
- To help believers to become disciples of Jesus Christ and to fulfil the Great Commission.
Statement of Faith
That there is only one God, who has revealed Himself in three persons as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
- In the absolute Lordship and Deity of Christ, including His pre-existence, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death, the merits and the power of His shed Blood, His bodily resurrection, and His eventual return to earth in glory and power to establish His eternal Kingdom.
- In the full spiritual authority, the reliability, and the divine inspiration of the Bible.
- That nothing can replace the importance of the local church in the programme of God.
- That the primary objective of the Church is worldwide evangelism.
- That entrance into the church is through the "new birth", which is brought about by genuine repentance of sin, confession of faith in Christ as the only Saviour, and surrender to Him as Lord.
- That membership in the Church is signified by joyful participation in its worship, fellowship, sacraments, witness, and by acceptance of its discipline.
- That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is an essential component of effective Christian life and witness.
- That the church cannot fulfill its mission apart from the five ascension gift ministries that Christ has sent into the world; apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
- We accept that it is our task to recognize these persons and to assist and equip them to fulfill their ministry.
- That Christ purchased healing for every believer at Calvary, and this healing should be appropriated by faith.
- That victorious Christian life is built upon a proper understanding of the scriptures and the exercising of the spiritual authority.
- In the resurrection of the dead at Christ's return, in the certainty of God's judgment, and in the inescapable result of that judgment foretold in the scriptures for the just and the unjust.
