Church Ministries


Church Leadership, Jimmie Brewer, D.Min., Program Director
Dr. Jimmie Brewer

Mission Statement: The Church Leadership (CL) majors and minors are committed to developing and equipping Spirit-filled church leaders, within a biblical framework of God's unconditional love and grace, to fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission through the primary disciplines of Bible, theology, Christian spirituality, and church history. Specialized disciplines of Children's Ministries, Urban Ministries, World Missions and Youth Ministries are offered in conjunction with the Church Leadership major.

Philosophy: The CL program believes that to be prepared adequately for Pentecostal and charismatic church leadership one needs to integrate competencies in the disciplines of Bible, theology, Christian spirituality, Church history, and practical ministries. Regarding the disciplines of Bible, theology, Christian spirituality, and church history, the CL program shares the philosophy of the Biblical and Theological Studies Program. Regarding the disciplines of Practical Ministries, the CL program believes that the emphasis should be placed on equipping individuals with appropriate practical ministry knowledge and skills through both training and educational experiences within a context that promotes the development of servant-leaders with qualities of character, intercultural awareness, professional excellence and spiritual perspicacity.
