COURSE SUMMARY

 

This course is designed to produce radical followers of Jesus, who both announce and demonstrate the Kingdom of God, with emphasis on the “demonstrating” aspect. It also seeks to develop a strong biblical and theological foundation to support this ministry, and which is laid down more thoroughly in the Vineyard unit entitled “Kingdom and Spirit”.  It is expected that students will have completed the unit Kingdom and Spirit before commencing this unit.
