Somebody once said that “the problem is always leadership and the answer is always leadership”. In this stream, proven, effective leaders will share insights and leadership principles that actually work! If you are leading a church, team, ministry or group of people, then this will be a source of input, encouragement and skill giving that you don’t want to miss! Classes on various aspects of leadership will run in all 3 terms.
Stream 2 - Training for Practical Ministry

Ministry and Technical Teams
These two vital areas must flow together well.
Study of the Music & Worship Ministry will
include aspects of teamsmanship and servanthood
within the local church. The classes will seek
to invest into church musicians and consider
the expectations and demands made of them. Worship
leading in different settings, songwriting and

for People
It’s all about God and people! Therefore we need

lead people. We will explore relationships and
working with groups, this course promises to
be practical and extremely relevant for all those
involved with the care, leadership and discipleship
of others.
Term 3 (April and May) - Reaching
Out
Jesus said to “Go into all the world....”. How
do we share the eternal message of the Gospel

where they are.
