Faith Bible College — 1st Year
Church Ministry
A three-book foundation year equipping you with sound doctrine, godly relationships and effective Bible study — the building blocks of a life in ministry.
About This Programme
The 1st Year Church Ministry programme is a three-book, self-paced course of study that lays the essential foundations for every student entering full-time or part-time ministry. Each book builds on the previous one, beginning with sound doctrine and theology as the bedrock of faith, moving through the biblical principles of relationships in the church context, and concluding with practical Bible study methods that equip you to handle God’s Word accurately and confidently.
Each book is assessed through essay-style questions graded personally by your professor, ensuring thorough engagement with the material before you progress to the next level.
