The School of The Prophets

Study the Word, defend the faith, and be sent out. Five diplomas, earned through courses, examinations, and practical ministry under supervision.

Five Diplomas

Disciple is the foundation. Evangelist and Pastor each build on it with their own courses, examinations, and practical training; Prophet builds on Pastor; and Bishop crowns Evangelist and Pastor together.

  1. Disciple

    The foundation every diploma is built on. You learn why belief in God is reasonable, what the whole Gospel is, how the New Testament tells it, how to defend it, what it may cost, and how healing and miracles follow faith.

  2. Evangelist

    Trained to carry the message outward, contend for it in public, and set the captive free.

Part One

Part Two

Witness the Activity
