Training Prophetic Bible Teachers

Part-Time Prophetic Bible Teaching Course

Jesus never required His disciples to get degrees or persue theological study to become effective prophetic teachers of the Word. Rather, as with the disciples on the road to Emmaus, He opened their minds to understand the scriptures.

This course equips you for part-time teaching, mostly church based. You will be trained to co-ordinate and run local Bible study groups, organise teaching events for those participating or interested in The Way of The Spirit reading course, and to assist with the work of the related Biblical and Prophetic Faith Certificate Course.

The Prophetic Bible Teaching course is not an academic course, but studies the Bible in a life-giving and faith-filled way. It creates Bible teachers with a prophetic edge to their teaching who can go into the world and share.

Training lasts for a year and is given at regional schools with additional home study. Home study involves reading recommended books, undertaking spiritual exercises, attending local teaching days, some tutoring, and fairly regular liaison with a mentor.

The syllabus embraces three broad emphases:

1. The prophetic teacher’s insight

Knowing who I am in Christ: our insight into the secret of the Lord or the mystery of Christ, as revealed first in the covenants of the Old Testament and then more fully in the ministry of Jesus in the New, and explaining it to others.

2. The prophetic teacher’s lifestyle

Knowing God and who he is: our relationship with God as Father through the work of the cross and Pentecost, standing in his council, walking with him in holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit, and helping others to do the same.

3. The prophetic teacher’s ministry

Knowing what God is doing in our time and what we should be doing: Laying hold of the vision for revival, walking in the Way, holding forth the word of life, and exercising prophetic gifts in order to edify the body of Christ.

You should normally have completed at least two parts of The Way of the Spirit Bible Reading Course by the time the course starts.

You need to be willing and able to undertake and complete the additional home study tasks. The study load will be evenly spread and will not be great, but the home study is as important a part of the course as the schools are.

It is also important that you attend at least one of our annual conferences during the year, so that you have some awareness of the base from which The Way of the Spirit operates.

In 2019/20 the Part-Time Prophetic Bible Teachers course is being run in two locations:

In Newchurch-in-Pendle the course is in the form of three short residential schools; in Horsham the course is in the form of nine day-long modules, run on the first Saturday of each month.  In both cases you will also be required to complete a course of assessed home study.

You can apply to attend the course in either of these locations, whichever is most convenient for you.

This course changed me dramatically …. it has really encouraged me and strengthened me in all that God wants for me.

S N

Every aspect of the course was a blessing. My faith has grown and I’m now walking much more closely with God. God has shown me how to overcome by resting in Him so that since March I’ve been in that broad spacious place spiritually, in His blessing and under His protection. 

S H

The course has been life changing for me. 

I know my identity is in Christ, that the Lord has a plan and purpose for my life and that I have an active role to play. As I’ve stepped out and whilst doing this course I have seen the goodness and faithfulness of God as He has revealed so much more of Himself to me.
