Year of Training is broken up into three terms that each focuses on different and complimentary areas of student growth. The model that we use to see the most effective growth in individuals is what we read Jesus does with his disciples throughout His ministry:
- Teaching – giving the biblical foundation and principles relating to all areas of life and ministry.
- Practical application – presenting opportunities to put into practice what was learnt.
- Evaluation and correction – feedback is critical to bring change in areas where practice is not according to the principles taught.
Year of Training is tailored to the group as well as to the individual. We therefore do not run a rigid and repetitive programme. Throughout the year the group dynamics, as well as your requirements, change; these changes form a vital part of your character growth. Basic term breakdown below:
