FRBCNZ MINISTRY TRAINING PROGRAMME
The Fellowship of Reformed Baptist Churches in New Zealand has its own training programme, intended to take place within the context of the local church and under the supervision of their local eldership. The programme consists of four levels:
Level 1 involves participation in a reading-discussion group to assist those who wish to pursue a reading programme aimed at providing biblical and practical teaching which will strengthen their faith and help equip them for living as a disciple of Christ.
Level 2 flows on from Level 1. It is primarily aimed at those individuals who have shown a keen interest for further studies. Individuals are encouraged to achieve a personalised ‘study goal’ under the supervision of their local eldership.
Level 3 is a yearly program involving four block-study sessions (Roving Classrooms) that are taught by various pastors within the fellowship (and on some occasions, by invited guest speakers). The classroom is hosted at varied (and roving) geographical locations around New Zealand, as each church offers to host a weekend.
Level 4 focuses on formal graduate studies under the supervision of a pastor and mentor. The right choice of program will depend largely on your previous training, current context, financial situation and overall goals.
