SCHOOL OF MINISTRIES

A passion for training and equipping leaders to plant and build healthy and dynamic churches

The purpose of the School of Ministry is to educate, equip and empower disciples of Jesus to go out and reach the world for Jesus wherever God may call them. Our goal is to provide a relational, intentional, and biblical process to help grow you as a person, a leader, and a disciple of Christ.

 

The Vision of SOM

To provide in-depth foundational training in areas of Theology, Leadership and Christian Life Skills to church leaders and aspiring leaders who do not have access to training programmes or Bible School. The goal of this training is to equip leaders to build vibrant churches which disciple every member to bring in the Kingdom of God.

 

Our Aim

To make our training

– excellent, Biblical, practical

– applied theology, not just academic

– available to all, men and women

– available for free or minimal cost

 

Our Strategy

To develop SOM Hub Centres in each country where local leaders are trained to take on much of the teaching, and establish satellite centres in other locations in their region.

 

Our Training Centres

CPAI School of Ministries (SOM) establishes training centres with key church leaders with whom we have connected and built relationship, and who have invited us to come and run SOM training schools in their area. These leaders will have strong connections with local churches and we aim to have attendees from various church affiliations and denominations. Our centres are located where they can be accessible to a good number of leaders who are in need of training.

 

Running Courses

Our modules of teaching are part of our Leadership and Biblical Studies syllabus. We adapt our programme to suit the local situation. Our training schools can last from a few days up to a month. Some centres also run weekly sessions on Saturdays..

Each module has approximately 10 hours of teaching, and we normally cover 2 modules in 3 to 5 days.

The numbers attending can vary from 25 to 200.

Student Notes are provided for all attendees.

The teaching is carried out by CPAI and local SOM teachers, and will include group work and individual assignments.

 

Certificates and Diplomas

CPAI SOM can award Certificates on completion of a number of modules. When a student has attended the required number of modules they are awarded a diploma in Leadership and Biblical Studies

 

Prayer

Prayer is a high priority for CPAI School of Ministries. Our prayer coordinator is part of the Executive Team and organises our monthly prayer gatherings and online prayer group. Please contact us if you would like to join one of our powerful online times of intercession.
