SEMINARY
“I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet”
you don’t have to be a pastor or the son of a pastor to come to our seminary.
seminary is a religious graduate-level education training believers in scripture, theology, & pastoral ministry to prep them for church roles like apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, & deacon.
it’s when we gather to study at the highest level possible the greatest book ever written!
it’s free for everyone wanting to gain & grow gifts:
tongues & interpretation of tongues
miracles, exorcisms, & healings
faith, discernment, wisdom, & knowledge
evangelism, prophecy, teaching, & serving
exhortation, shepherding, mercy, giving, & leadership.
our seminary has three goals for our church:
(1) be a place where our poor exercise gifts, enjoy sound theology, & do everything in accordance with God’s Word & Spirit
(2) identify church offices, roles, ministries, & giftings from among common folk, so we can send them out to the poor of our world; and
(3) make wise & loving, gospel juggernauts from among the poorest of the poor, giving our poor what the rich get with money.
seminary is all about developing spiritual maturity, discerning truth from error, fighting secularization of our churches, & illuminating spiritual realities shaping our everyday life.
seminary is @9am on sundays
CURRICULUM
CHURCH HISTORY, 2 HOURS
theology. study of the church's pursuit of biblical truth. this isn’t a genealogy class or seminary about famous theologians or denominational creeds. here we look at theological ideas the church throughout history has explored. we consider how Holy Spirit leads the church to faithful, scriptural answers & fruitfulness.
apologetics. equips believers to think critically about our faith. we examine life's big questions, evaluate competing worldviews, & learn to defend truth with scripture, wisdom, & love.
KINGDOM DOMINION, 2 HOURS
spiritual warfare. in-depth look at the five-fold ministry, prayer, fasting, spiritual war, spiritual gifts, dreams, angels & demons, divine council worldview, cosmic geography, kingdom building, biblical counseling, apocryphal books, second temple judaism, & opposing modern day witchcraft/idols.
prophetic reform. a time of biblical discernment of dreams, spiritual impressions, poverty theology, dorean principles, & prophetic encouragements from the church. the church then talks culture, politics, & global developments from a spiritual & scriptural lens before praying over everything, recognizing that lasting reform begins with God's holy people.
