Soldier for Christ

Soldier for Christ

The Worker for Christ training is designed to equip individuals with knowledge and skills to draw closer to Christ and reach others in communities for Christ. Using twenty-four modules, this training is unique because each module has a practical component that participants must perform. The training is very comprehensive because it helps participants look into their own spiritual walk, while providing information to enhance it, and learn essential skills for developing others in Christ. This training is designed for those serious about becoming a worker for Christ. This training has emphasis on the poor.

HOW IT WORKS: In the online classroom, each week there is discussion, Scripture readings, and questions/answer about the topic. Before a person moves on to the next topic, he/she must complete their current topic practical exercise. At the end of the course, the person is well-equipped to lead ministries by developing their own church or group. Once you sign-up, you will receive within one business day a the link to the online classroom, your login and password.
