1st Year Program

Tuesday Classes:

“Discovering Your Destiny in the Earth” by Bob Long
This class explores the origin, nature and expression of the Call of God in the individual lives of believers. You will understand how your own life-long passions and desires intertwine with the original purposes God has destined you for. This class will force you to ask the questions: Where will the next Smith Wigglesworth come from? Where will the next Billy Graham come from? Every believer has a calling but not every believer has a calling to the ministry of apostle, prophet, teacher, evangelist or pastor. Who does God call to THOSE ministries? Is it possible that more believers have a call to ministry upon their lives than they realize? You will also receive the extra push you need as the instructors take time to truly connect with each student and pray over each one to help them respond and give themselves to the call. This class will challenge you to awaken your spiritual senses and rise to meet the destiny you already feel resonating in your dreams. You just never know what’s on the other side of the graduation stage.

“Surviving Team Ministry” by Karen Serna
This class will focus on what is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of ministry, team ministry and covenant relationships. God is calling His leaders in the earth to walk in covenant relationships for the purpose of accelerating the advancement of His Kingdom in the earth. This class will hone in on the needed skills and determination that it takes to form lifelong ministry relationships that prosper and grow. Discover how important communication, confrontation, and at times even conflict can be to build a strong, healthy, and lifelong ministry relationships. In addition, these covenant relationships can only be built upon an attitude of servanthood; therefore, this class will also focus on this foundational aspect of ministry.

“Walking in Your God Given Authority” by Ken and Sandy Lowry
This class will not only teach you about your God given authority, it will also empower you to walk in that authority. This inspiring class will challenge you to walk in a greater level of boldness as the Lowry’s spur you on to pray for the sick and cast out devils. In addition to the solid foundation of truth that you will receive from their teaching, you will also have the opportunity to receive a real impartation from the Lowry’s, who walk in a genuine ministry of healing. Many former students have received both physical and emotional healing while in this class. If you have a desire to see signs, wonders, miracles, and healings flowing through your life, this class is for you.

“Deliverance & Dominion” by Bob Long
This course gives an in depth understanding of man and his make up of body, soul and spirit. You will learn how man is influenced by memories, emotions, generations and demonic spirits. From the Garden to the Cross, from the Cross to the Throne, God has been restoring man to Himself. Jesus brings freedom, healing and deliverance to every captive. This class will bring liberating truth to you and to those you minister to.

“Principles of Biblical Interpretation and Public Speaking” by Bob Long
This class will cause you to fall more in love with the Bible! You will learn how to study the Word of God in a deeper way and to understand it better than ever before. This class will also teach you how to develop a systematic understanding of the Scriptures and to know how to interpret them more accurately as a workman who knows how to rightly divide them. You will learn about study tools, books and software resources. This class will equip you to preach God’s word as you learn the technical AND the practical. There will be preaching workshops where every student preaches in front of the class! Your passion for studying and for proclaiming God’s Word will reach new levels in these studies.

Saturday Sessions:

“Soaking”: Ministry to Students; Students will receive prayer from a diverse ministry team while soaking to worship music.

“Foundations of the Christian Faith”: Hebrews 6 Foundations plus a discussion of current doctrinal error that is surfacing in the church.

“Biblical Worldview”: This inspiring class will challenge you to look at everything in life through a Biblical worldview – government, science, art, family, everything. Regardless of what your passion is in life, you will learn how a Biblical worldview should affect your thinking and your action. Regardless of what is happening in the news or in our culture, whether it happens oversees or here in the United States, you need to be equipped with a Biblical perspective so that you will know how to respond out of a Kingdom driven approach. Everything you do is based out of your worldview – how you vote, how you raise your family, how you work, how you interpret what is happening in the world around you – all of these areas are influenced by what your worldview is. Is YOUR worldview Biblical?

“Preaching Exercises”: After completing “Principles of Biblical Interpretation and Public Speaking”, the students will preach a sermon in class.

“Financial Wisdom” by Ronnie Long: Ronnie will cover topics like budgeting, investing, saving, staying out of debt, the importance of insurance and other important topics on financial freedom. In addition, he’ll discuss the Biblical principles of sowing and reaping and Kingdom integrity.

“Family Foundations” by Jack and JoAnn Crawford: This dynamic duo has spent the last 20 years ministering to couples and families. They have a true revelation of the need ministers have to have a strong, health, and balanced family. To quote them, “If you don’t get the family part right, then the rest is no good.” This couple will train you to take care of your family in the midst of all God has called you to in the earth.
