OUR EMPHASIS

Focus on Leadership Development - Not basic discipleship, nor a purely academic orientation, our goal is to equip people to move into actual ministry. Students are trained in ministry area and later in the year take services in local churches and may undertake a short-term missions trip (optional). Past students have gone into church planting and pastoring, overseas missions, eldership, ministries and other leadership positions.

Holy Spirit Ministry - Students will experience daily worship, focused prayer, and visiting prophetic ministry. The aim is that lives will be changed.

Quality Teaching - There are 15 regular lecturers, the majority of whom are practising pastors or recognised specialists in certain areas (e.g. OT/NT specialist, theology specialist, registered counsellor, missionaries etc). Most have lectured for a number of years. In addition, there are a variety of guest lecturers.

Recognised Qualification - not only is the qualification recognised by NZQA, but more importantly it is recognised by churches. The Elim, Apostolic and other movements have drawn pastors from graduates, and a total of 30 churches from 16 different denominations have sent students in the past 3 years.
