Units of Study

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, raise the dead, 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 brokenhearted, deliverance ministry, the ministry of healing, ministry to the poor, and the
proclamation of the year of the Lords favour. (22 supervised hours | CMTTHE501A

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

and the church community. (22 supervised hours | CMTMIN502A Communicate theology

and missions. The justice of heaven is directed towards transforming culture to liberate
the oppressed. We will also look at the centrality of honor in our missional culture to
edify and protect the uniqueness and redemptive gift of every tribe and nation while
drawing them to the culture of the Kingdom. (22 supervised hours | CMTMIN502A
