SONSHIP
The mission of Sonship is to equip disciples of Christ with a deeper understanding of God's word. The ultimate goal is to impact our communities to the degree people not only hear, but see the Gospel alive in our lives, and to become what Jesus commanded us to bear as witnesses for Him.
Sonship School of the Firstborn is a school within the church. We offer one-year course of study concentrated solely on the discipline of ministry studies. Our focus is not accreditation, but certification of able ministers. If you desire to be stronger in your faith and calling, this school equips students with sound doctrine so they can share with others what they have been taught.
The training and instruction transpire in the environments of the classroom, the church, and the community. Coupled with the discipline of a self-study program, five-fold and lay ministers alike, learn the mechanics of ministry, while acquiring knowledge through life-application skills in such areas as:
• Pragmatics of church building
• Worship essentials
• Financial stewardship
• Ministerial integrity
• Prayer basics, and much more
Our goal is the development and duplication of able ministers through participation in the “hands-on” practicum of daily ministry, all within the setting of a school in the church.
