MINISTRY ACADEMY

​

Family Worship Center exists to raise up a new generation of Spirit-filled, transformational leaders for life-impacting ministry. We do this by focusing on developing individuals who are called to full-time, part-time and volunteer ministry. Our goal is to equip leaders with solid, Biblical convictions, theological foundations, healthy culture and vital leadership principles for anointed impact in ministry.

​

The Ministry Academy provides students with the opportunity to integrate what they learn in the classroom with practical experience. Students are offered valuable opportunities for supervised ministry training in field settings to gain experience and greater competency as ministry leaders. The strategic weekly involvements allow students first-hand experience in the ministry and leadership culture of Family Worship Center. In this way, students are exposed to the diverse ministry challenges found in a dynamic, healthy, and growing church.

​

Undergraduate Programs

We offer two undergraduate programs (two-year and four-year) that provide students with college level instruction as well as practical ministry experience. At the end of the programs, students will have earned their Associate of Arts and/or their Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Theology and will have gained valuable ministry experience. Upon completion of these programs, graduates may apply for pastoral licensing and ordination through FWC.

​

Graduate Programs

We offer graduate programs where students can continue on to earn their Masters and Doctorate Degrees in Biblical Theology. These programs will strengthen your foundation of biblical doctrine from which all future ministry will flow.
