Time Commitment & Cost
This is an 8-month training course that follows a traditional school year, starting September 15, 2024 and ending in April, 2025. This amounts to a 27-week commitment that is intended to be on top of your current serving commitments and Life Group involvement.
The lesson plan includes 4 elements…
Weekly Assignments. Approximately 2 hours of weekly reading and workbook assignments will be assigned on topics such as Bible study, theological clarity and discernment, roles and responsibilities within the church, and practical ministry philosophy.
Monthly Class Time. An hour-and-a-half long monthly meeting (5 on Zoom and 3 in person) will create space for a short lecture, learning from others in the course and asking questions.
Quarterly Writing. 3 position papers will help improve understanding and articulation of topics such as spiritual gifts, evangelism and discipleship.
Ministry Project. A ministry project will be assigned to be completed by the end of the course.
Why “Antioch Academy”?
Acts 11-13 gives us a snapshot of the early church in city of Antioch and the Apostles’ ministry that led to an abundance of local church leaders and teachers who strengthened their church and were sent out as disciple-makers and church-planters!
This course is designed to increase the competency and confidence of those who teach and lead within TMCC.
A well-rounded understanding of local church ministry will give greater clarity to how our individual roles and responsibilities relate to and are dependent on those of others.
