What is the Core Ministry Training program?
Building on 2 Timothy 2:2, the Core Ministry Training program is a 2-year training course for men and women designed to lay a biblical foundation for a lifetime of personal growth and ministry.

Who is this program designed for?
The program is for any serious student of Scripture who aspires to teach the word of God. It is designed to be a rigorous course of reading, writing and reasoning through Scripture, theology, exegesis and practical homiletics.

The Core Ministry Training program consists of three categories of instruction: 1) Contemplation– The study of God, His works, and His doctrine. 2) Clarification – The process of making the meaning of Scripture clear and accessible. 3) Communication – The effective conveying of God’s truth through preaching.

Each year will consist of two 12-week semesters. Semester one meets from February through April. Semester two meets from August through November. Classes are held Tuesday evenings, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, at Kindred Community Church offices.
