Special Training Program

Ministries › Education › OMS › Special Training Program

The Special Training program consists of elective courses designed to give training in certain ministry skills: visitation, basic counseling, Bible study methods for preparing studies and sermons, and the history, doctrine, and government of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. Special Training courses are designed for the training of elders, deacons, deaconesses and other church leaders.

To use these courses, the church does not need to enroll as a “learning center,” nor does the student have to have studied in the Basic Training program. These courses are designed to be used by themselves to develop certain ministry skills. If you have a question about whether you are ordering the correct item for a course, you can contact Pamela Cubas at [email protected] or at 719-265-2178.
