THE "SCHOOL OF FAITH/BETHEL SCHOOL OF SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY" COMBINATION
School of Faith subjects are a combination of foundation subjects and specialist subjects just like at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA. Only in Australia and New Zealand, you’ve got access to unique Aussie or Kiwi instructors as well. That means an enhanced course, with more unique training, extra subjects, and another layer of richness at the School of Faith. Aussie or Kiwi instructors are able to pass on specialist knowledge and experience, mentor and coach you in different areas accounting for Aussie or Kiwi culture, and train you to excel so you’re more prepared upon graduation to flourish in an Aussie or Kiwi environment.
We also adopt a ‘spirit, soul, body’ approach to our courses, working to instruct students in all three areas to ensure we’re spiritually, emotionally and physically fit to walk in our callings for many years to come. The School of Faith uses extra curricular activities such as cross-fit training, ‘sozo’ prayer ministry, creative arts, entrepreneurship and more to give you the opportunity to develop in each area. These activities are offered in addition to the listed subjects to create well-rounded graduates who are prepared to excel after study.
