Mega School of Ministry

Mission Statement:

A solid foundation is the basis of our Christian doctrine and experience.

Goals:

To provide the basis for the development of strong and knowledgeable individuals in the community at large
To empower individuals and build a solid foundation which ultimately leads to settled, grounded and effective members of society
To provide systematic instruction to promote growth and development

I. Mega Shcool of Ministry Objectives:

To provide the basis for the development of strong and knowledgeable disciples of Christ.
To provide solid teaching on the Christian doctrine and to emphasize the necessity of the disciplined study of the Word of God.

II. The Importance of The School of Ministry:

Many Christians remain spiritually immature, unable to triumph over trials and tribulations because of a lack of disciplined study of the Word of God.
People have filled churches for many years and are unable to communicate the basic truths of their faith. They have a few scattered facts but not enough upon which to build a life.
The bible is not a textbook on theory; it is a guide to Christian growth and life. Systematic teaching can make the principles in the Bible practical to everyday Christian living.

III. The classes in The School of Ministry will promote the following:

THE USE OF ALL AVAILABLE STUDY HELPS. Use reference materials such as dictionaries, Bible encyclopedias, commentaries, etc. for study.
DISCIPLINED BIBLE STUDY. The student should develop regular times for study and understand that their own personal investment is essential.
INDEPENDENT BIBLICAL RESEARCH. The student should search out all Scriptures on a given topic. A doctrine is never built on a single Scripture, abut is developed through a balanced approach to what the Bible has to say on the subject.
ANOINTED TEACHING. Decide that this course will make a difference in your life. Your own openness to God and willingness to be changed will detemine how much you add to your life through this course.
PRAYER AND MEDITATION. Do not over look prayer as an important tool in studying. The Holy Spirit is the best teacher. Let Him speak to you through the lessons, both in class and as you study at home.

IV. Who should participate in The School of Ministry:

"And He gave some apostles, some phrophets, some evangelists, some pastor and teachers for the perfecting of the saints... that we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about by every kind of doctrine..." Eph. 4:11, 12, 14

All members who believe God has planted them in the house of Mega Church.
