Certificate in Theology through The Lakes
Posted on 01. Sep, 2010 by Ian Mears in Upcoming Events
Each term The Lakes church conducts a series of seminars in a different unit of the Moore College Certificate in Theology Course (ThC). The course is broken into three sections: the Preliminary Certificate (PTC); the Intermediate Certificate (ITC): and the last section which completes the ThC. Each section consists of 6 units. We do one unit a term.
Our purpose is to equip God’s servants so that they know the Bible well. Paul encourages Christians to prepare for works of service by being built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God … no longer infants, … blown here and there by every wind of teaching (Ephesians 4:12 – 14)
It is suitable for any Christian, especially if they teach children, youth or adults, who is prepared to work just that little harder at studying the Word of God.
More than 30 people have attempted one or more units through the Lakes in the last three years and 4 have already completed the PTC with another 4 getting close.
Seminars are usually held on Monday nights during term time and consist of a small group varying from 4 to ten people, depending on the subject, led by Ian Mears. Ian was a lecturer at Moore College for more than 20 years.
