Attending a Christian seminary is a transformative journey that can deeply enrich one's life and foster a closer and more profound relationship with God. Seminary education provides a unique opportunity for individuals to engage in rigorous theological study, spiritual formation, and personal growth within a community of like-minded believers.
Through academic courses and theological training, students gain a comprehensive understanding of Scripture, church history, doctrine, and practical ministry skills. The in-depth study of God's Word equips individuals with a solid foundation and a deeper knowledge of God's character, His redemptive plan, and His purposes for humanity. This knowledge forms the bedrock for a more intimate relationship with God, allowing individuals to grow in faith, wisdom, and discernment.
Additionally, seminary offers an environment conducive to spiritual formation. Faculty, mentors, and fellow students provide a supportive community where individuals can explore their faith, wrestle with theological questions, and deepen their spiritual practices. Engaging in prayer, worship, and biblical reflection alongside others who share a passion for Christ fosters a vibrant and transformative spiritual life.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV): "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." This scripture reminds us that true wisdom and understanding come from a reverent relationship with God. As students engage in seminary education, it is crucial to recognize that knowledge and learning should ultimately lead to a deeper understanding of God's character and His ways.
Furthermore, seminary education encourages individuals to develop their gifts and talents for service in the Kingdom of God. As students engage in ministry internships, field education, and practical experiences, they gain valuable insights into the complexities of ministry, develop leadership skills, and cultivate a heart for service. This practical aspect of seminary equips individuals to make a meaningful impact within their communities and the larger world.
Ultimately, attending a Christian seminary is an investment in one's spiritual growth and calling. It offers a space for intellectual exploration, spiritual development, and practical training, all of which contribute to a deeper and more profound relationship with God. Through the transformative experience of seminary, individuals become equipped to live out their faith, serve others, and bear witness to the transformative power of the Gospel in their lives and in the world.
Timothy 2:15 (KJV): "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This verse emphasizes the importance of diligent study and rightly handling the Word of God.
As students in seminary, the call to study is not merely for academic achievement but to become approved by God as faithful stewards of His truth. It encourages us to approach our studies with dedication, integrity, and a desire to accurately interpret and apply God's Word.
2024 Seminary classes start August 2023.

BAPTISM
Adult baptism is a sacred and transformative experience, symbolizing the cleansing of sins and the rebirth into a new life in Christ Jesus. As adults enter the waters of baptism, they publicly declare their turning away from the old sinful lifestyle, stating their faith and commitment to follow Jesus, and acknowledging His redeeming grace and accepting Him as their Lord and Savior.
A Scripture that captures the significance of adult baptism is Romans 6:4: "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
Baptism is an important step of obedience and public declaration of faith. We offer baptism services several times a year, and would love to help you take this important step. We invite you to come and fellowship with us so you may personally inquire about baptism.
INFANT DEDICATION
Dedicating your baby, infant, toddler back to God is essential act of honouring God for the child He birthed through you.
Baby dedication is a faith conviction where parents present their child before God, seeking His guidance and protection as they commit to raising their child which is a gift from God, in a godly manner.
In the Bible, we find a beautiful example of dedication in the story of Hannah giving her son Samuel to the service of God. Similarly, parents today bring their children before the Lord, surrendering their hopes and dreams, and asking for God’s wisdom and grace in nurturing them and training them according to God’s Word with Christian virtues.
Inspired by Hannah's devotion, we find solace in 1 Samuel 1:27-28: "I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord."
Through baby dedication, we recognize the precious gift of children and commit to raising them in the ways of the Lord.
WEDDING CEREMONIES (MALE TO FEMALE)
Marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred union, regarded as a cornerstone for a committed relationship between husband and wife, in partnership, unto godly principles.
1 Corinthians 7:9 (KJV) emphasizes the importance of marriage in maintaining purity and avoiding sexual immorality. The Scripture states, "But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."
The verse above encourages individuals who struggle with controlling their sensual desires to consider marriage a God-given solution, respecting and honoring each other in love in all areas, not solely emotionally. It highlights the significance of a committed relationship to satisfy intimate needs while promoting a virtuous and faithful lifestyle in all areas.
In Christian teachings, marriage is a bond of love and companionship and a path to strengthen spiritual growth and moral integrity within a God-ordained union.
If you are interested in having our Pastor officiate your wedding ceremony, kindly reach out to us at your earliest convenience.
