Description
Ministry demands a range of unique skills that are relevant for the vocational pastor, their key team members, and emerging leaders across all ministry areas. Our Cert IV introduces immediately applicable and transferable skills in understanding the bible, discipling others, personal leadership, and reaching and caring for people.
Some of the study units focus on:
understanding the Bible and how to apply it, how to be an effective ministry team player and leader, how to provide foundational pastoral care, how to introduce new believers into the beliefs and practices of the church and how to disciple established believers to grow in their relationship with God and capacity for ministry.
Join the Energise community and you will learn from experienced and recognised ministry leaders who will equip you for greater ministry effectiveness.
