General Studies
General Study courses are courses that include broad study but yet common to each office of the Five Fold Ministry. These courses have been selected and designed to prepare and provide foundational teaching and training to believeres that are called to the Five Fold Ministry. General study courses are frequently reviewed and occasionally curriculums and text books are changed as directed by the Holy Spirit.
A section of the General Study courses are prerequisite to a number of the Five Core Area courses and are identified in the catalog. All General Study courses must be taken prior to obtaining a diploma of completion with one exception (Students Pursuing A diploma in the Office of the Teacher are exempt from Course #05198014 - The Preacher and Preaching). There are course assignments and course tests to include a mid-term and a final with all courses.
The Annual Leadership and Spiritual Warfare Courses are Certificate courses that stand alone without completion of all courses.

After completion of course registration the instructor will provide a syllabus which will contain instructions and pertinent information for each course.
