Multiply – A practical training programme for Christian Ministry Endorsed by Awards for Training and Higher Education in the United Kingdom.
What to Expect
'Multiply - a Practical Training Programme for Christian Ministry' is based on well-tried topics in Christian ministry training programmes. The special contribution that this programme will make is to those who do not want to engage in three to six years of studies in BA and MA programmes, but who want to gain knowledge, understanding and skills in the field of mission and ministry - in the context of Christian ministry. The course provides practical, affordable training for Christians seeking to develop and strengthen their faith. It is particularly useful for churches that wish to provide training to several people at the same time who are interested in developing a Christian ministry.
The programme has been created by practitioners with hands-on experience in church leadership and mission. This is fundamental to what the programme aims to do. It seeks to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills of leadership suited to the effective exercise of a missional ministry in wider society.
This course introduces key areas of theory and practice and aims to enable anyone to transform their thinking, their lives, and how to exercise ministry in the church.
Entry requirements
The typical student profile will be a person who wishes to explore and develop Christian ministry skills, which could lead them to become a more effective part of a church's existing ministry team or provide the foundations for them to pursue a career in Christian ministry.
Course fee
The charge for this Programme is £992 all-inclusive, including teaching and all administrative matters such as the issue of certificates - there are no extra fees for this course.
