Courses are subject to change without notice
Course Title: The Making of a Minister I & II
Instructor: Andrew Wommack
Class Hours: 20
Attend Bible College, complete the required courses, receive your ministerial license and ordination papers, and then you are a minister, right? Wrong! God’s ways are not man’s ways. This course will help you understand the difference between man’s and God’s qualifications for ministers. By the end of this course you will either be determined to prepare your heart or stay as far away from ministry as possible.
Course Title: How to Get Along with People
Instructor: Andrew Wommack
Class Hours: 10
Someone once said, “If it weren’t for people, the ministry would be great.” However, the ministry is all about people, so it’s critically important to learn how to develop relationships and develop them with the right people. When conflict does arise—and it will—it’s also crucial to know how to resolve that conflict according to the Word of God. God’s solution works, but you have to know it to put it into practice.
