Courses Offered

Pastoral Equipping Program

The Pastoral Equipping Program is at the moment a certificate level program that was launched by THoHM on the 25th/July/2022 with the mission of “Equipping men with sound doctrine so that they may reform and edify the body of Christ Jesus” (Titus 1:9, 2:1, 2 Tim 1:3, Acts 19:9b).

It’s now coming to three years since the program’s inception and the need of training lay pastors still looms large in our region. Our mission is still to thoroughly equip these under shepherds to faithfully handle the Word of God as we pray for a reformation in the Church here.

Since this is a program designed mainly to equip the lay pastors our only requirement from the applicants has been an ability to read and write either in the official language or in a mother language.

In this mission we thank God who has partnered us with Focus India Theological College so that we can offer authenticate certificates to worthy participants.

Practical workshops, mission trips, and community service projects provide hands-on experience. With mentorship, multimedia resources, and retreats, these programs foster a comprehensive understanding of the Bible, equipping individuals for effective Christian living and leadership.
