Special Course: Equipping the Church
SPECIAL COURSE: EQUIPPING the CHURCH
Rationale: Leaders are equal with ministers in the noble work of God’s ministry. This dimension also gives us the courage to always learn and study the word to be approved by God. In view of this sanctity of leadership, we are offering a basic course to be completed by all members occupying leadership positions so as to be updated and spiritually grow in the ministry while taking the lead in God’s flock. The BOE approved that a SPECIAL COURSE be offered/integrated in the Thursday Bible Study to be completed by all members of the leadership so as to be updated in studying the word and spiritually growing in the ministry while taking the lead in God’s flock.
