Section Four School of Ministry

Proverbs 11:14: 14Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

SCHOOL OF MINISTRY

Another way to change attitudes or to produce positive attitudes is to establish new members foundation classes. Baby sheep (new converts) are just what they are, baby sheep. Many times, leaders are so excited to get new members with vast intellectual skills to do much of the work that is needed in the ministry that they forget that baby sheep lack spiritual knowledge to do God’s work.

They are tossed out in the front of the battle line before they are ready and they get devoured. Leaders are responsible for these baby sheep and their blood is on their hands. It would be well worth the wait for you to teach new converts who they are in Christ, the authority they have in the name of Jesus, about spiritual warfare and so on (for about three months) before you allow them to become active in the Ministry of Helps. It would be even more worth the wait of one year to teach those that you have in mind to become leaders, because satan launches a greater attack on leaders than he does on anyone else. Leaders MUST know their weapons and have a developed inward witness to hear from God before they can successfully lead others. Man’s natural talent can be ever so good, but it is the anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage and sets the captive free.

Every person that comes into your ministry is a potential leader and should be trained. Each of these classes is a twelve session course.

The following pages display sample attendance sheets that can be placed in a notebook for the students to maintain each week or the series can be taught on one or two weekends.

MEMBERSHIP FOUNDATION CLASS ATTENDANCE SHEET MINISTRY OF HELPS ATTENDANCE SHEET LEADERSHIP CLASS ATTENDANCE SHEET

Allow them to join an auxiliary for training during this period. They become an active auxiliary member during this period. *All leaders must complete this series of classes

Because these classes are prerequisites for auxiliary membership, you may need to offer them twice a week in order to meet the demands of people’s different work schedules.

The classes are rotating classes; therefore, a student could start on class #10 for example and then go through classes #11 – #9 for completion.

To heighten the importance of the School of Ministry Classes, list the topics for the week in your Sunday bulletin. This too will help the members know when a topic is being taught that they may have missed.

The topics listed are subjects that every Christian should be taught. Your teachers can develop a curriculum around the topics using books, video, and other teaching tools.

When every new member is required to complete the School of Ministry Classes, you develop a group of believers unified and speaking the same thing. When the new members are released to work in the auxiliaries, they then release the spirit of your ministry and not the many different spirits from all the previous churches in which they belonged to.

GRADUATION

Turn one of your Sunday services into a graduation ceremony for all School of Ministry students on a quarterly basis. Award them with a framed certificate and a lapel pin or some other gift from the Ministry upon completion of each course. Certificates are vitally necessary. Please do not take them lightly. Teach them how to give their gifts and talents back to God.
