Diploma in Spiritual formation and Discipleship:
God’s purpose for saving us is not just forgiveness, but to restore his image in us.
Therefore, Spiritual formation which is the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ for the glory of God and for the sake of others (II Corinthians 3:17-18), is designed for believers who want to change and be changed; for men and women who have been born again, even those who love God from a pure heart, but who want to be formed in greater measure into the image of Jesus Christ.
Most of us aren’t completely satisfied with where we are spiritually. (This holy dissatisfaction should characterize the lives of all believers.) In every corner of the world believers yearn for a closer walk with God. This yearning is best expressed in the prayer of the psalmist, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for you, O God.”
Through spiritual formation our thirst for God will be satisfied in increasing measure, because it is the life of Jesus within which satisfies it.
While spiritual formation focuses on the deepening of one’s relationship with God
Discipleship focuses on the maturing of one’s faith in the context of the particular beliefs and values of a faith community.
How do you apply the transformative work of Christ to your everyday life? What does it mean to cultivate and communicate an authentic faith? How do you develop habits of authentic disciplines that center on thinking and living in Christ’s presence?
These questions are central to the spiritual formation and discipleship diploma program. This one year diploma program is designed to foster your socio-cultural awareness and relational skills to become a transformative agent of Christ’s love.
This course is for those,
- Who desire training in biblical and theological studies, in Spiritual Formation, and in discipleship
- Who personally desire to grow deeper in Christ and in the Word
- Who feel called to spiritual formation ministry in Church or Para-church organizations.
