New TSBC Programmes Update

The Shepherd's Bible College programme development meeting went very well this week. Everything is 'big picture' at this stage, so please don't hold us to everything you read here. Here is what we are thinking at the moment. . .

Currently, TSBC offers a one-year Diploma of Biblical Studies programme which looks like this:

YEAR 1 - Level 5

• For those who want to be involved in lay ministry
• Graduates are prepared for local church service
• Overview courses
• Personal growth focus
• Help to discern gifts and abilities

The next two years of training are proposed to look something like this:

YEAR 2 - Level 6

• For those who want to be involved in bi-vocational ministry
• Graduates are prepared for local church leadership
• Equipping courses
• Ministry ability focus
• Help to grow as a servant-leader

YEAR 3 - Level 7

• For those who want to be involved in vocational ministry
• Graduates are prepared for full-time ministry & service
• Leadership courses
• Trainer/equipper focus
• Help to become effective minister & worker

Would you please pray with us as these ideas continue to develop?
