Ministry Training School employs a modular approach in preparing men and women for Christian ministry. Birthed out of the need for ministry training that prepared not only heads, but also hearts and lives, Ministry Training School adopts a holistic approach to ministry preparation. We believe that effective ministry is rooted, not only in theology, but also in a living, vibrant and exciting relationship with God.

Our full-time program makes 25 years of training expertise available to our students. Through a strong culture of personal discipleship and development students are equipped for service in those spheres of life to which the Lord has called them.

Ministry Training School is essentially a collection of wide ranging and dynamic modules that equip the leader to be more effective in every area of life. The basic understanding behind each module is that all of life is lived as unto the Lord; whether serving or leading, public or private, or the so called sacred or secular. Modules are structured around themes, and cover a full gamut of topics. Each module includes academic subjects, but, by drawing on our ministry and training experience we add additional content related to the module theme. Often the additional material covers ‘the things they never taught you in Bible school!’ Some of the modules are: Ministry Orientation, Understanding the Bible Old and New Testaments, Biblical World view, Church Life, Communications and Missions

Training takes place in a multi-cultural environment. By learning from those with different perspectives from our own; diversity become a key for helping us understand God, His people His world and the times

At the core of our training philosophy are three foundational pillars.

• Personal development
• Practical Ministry
• Academic Preparation

Personal discipleship and mentoring facilitate personal growth. Students are part of a small group; this creates an environment conducive to relational discipling. Small group leaders assist students with their personal spiritual growth. They also provide active career planning input, helping students develop in their callings. Finally the small group also provides security and creates a sense of belonging facilitating personal restoration and inner healing.

By involving students in the life of the Hatfield Christian Church we expose them to various forms of practical ministry. By it’s nature practical ministry requires involvement in home cells, community ministries and missions. Students are afforded the opportunity to develop their own ministry gifts, assisting in baptism, new-life and healing teams. This provides a safe environment for students to learn the practical ‘how-to's’ of ministry.

As mentioned, academic preparation forms an integral part of Ministry Training School. Students are able to work towards a variety of academic qualifications. Modules are structured in such a way as to include some of the subjects; and as such students are continually working towards completing their academic preparation.

Ministry Training School has a proven track record having successfully launched many men and women into the sphere of Life to which God has called them.
