Advance The Kingdom

What is the authority of Jesus Christ, and how do you carry it? What qualifies you for spiritual leadership? Can God entrust His people to your care? The third year of SPIRIT explores and answers these questions with our advanced ministry training course.

Advanced kingdom ministry is actually simple at its core: we want to share the character and power of Jesus with others. And yet, the world we live in is not simple. The people we encounter are intricate, and their problems can be complex. In this course, you will learn to embrace them with the heart and authority of God Himself. You will also discover the essentials of one-on-one ministry, and how to serve the Lord in corporate worship settings.

SPIRIT will impart the principles and power you need in order to minister like Jesus. We teach our students how to forge godly relationships, submit to authority, and lead people into freedom. Our third year is designed to establish you for all the demands and adventures of ministry! Preach, make disciples, lead and defend your faith . . . and do it all like Jesus. Take SPIRIT, third-year!
