Units of Study

OVERVIEW Welcome to the listing for subjects offered through the Certificate IV in Christian Ministry and Theology (10433NAT).

SCHOOL OF KINGDOM MINISTRY

Do you want to be trained and equipped to “do” the works of the Kingdom?

Do you want to heal the sick, cast out demons, and bring others into an encounter with the love of the Father?

The Kingdom ministry of Christ sets the compass for Christian ministry both in and out of the church. The goal of kingdom ministry is to bring people into a direct personal encounter with the truth, the power and the love of Christ. Throughout this school, we will explore the seven pillars of Kingdom ministry, the journey of the Church into the fullness of Kingdom ministry and the mandate of the church to host the glory of God. School of Kingdom Ministry I – Seven Pillars of Jesus’ Ministry (KM101) This subject is a detailed exploration of the seven pillars of Jesus’ Kingdom ministry. These pillars are the Gospel ministry, the prophetic ministry, ministry to the broken-hearted, deliverance ministry, the ministry of healing, ministry to the poor, and the proclamation of the year of the Lord’s favour.

SCHOOL OF CULTURAL STUDIES

Do you want to impact the culture of your family, your workplace and your city?

Do you want to be equipped with the tools to change culture?

Do you want to communicate Kingdom truths in ways that are culturally relevant? This school trains followers of Christ to become students of culture. The church is the cultural incarnation of the Kingdom on earth. Without a value on culture, the church has often been content to acknowledge the theological truths of scripture without witnessing transformation in our wider communities. Our desire is to produce the transformative culture of the Kingdom to impact our cities and regions. School of Cultural Studies I – Counter-Cultural Discipleship (CS101) Throughout this subject we explore the basics of culture both within the church and broader western culture. We look at the discipleship mandate as a counter-cultural movement away from the culture of the world and into the culture of heaven. This subject also doubles as an orientation unit to the values and culture of Naioth College and the church community. (22 supervised hours | CMTMIN402A – Communicate theological information) Taught over Semester 1, 2016. Lecture Slot B.

School of Transformation I – The New Creation Miracle (TR101) The transformative journey is the journey to be conformed into the likeness of Jesus and it begins with recognising that we are a New Creation in Christ Jesus. This subject is a detailed exploration of Paul’s New Creation theology in light of the redeeming work of Christ and is an essential foundation to understanding the New Testament paradigm for transformation.

This school always involves a worship component and seeks to create a safe environment for students to explore the prophetic.
