Philadelphia Church

School of Ministry

At PC School of Ministry:
Our top priority is to grow students closer in relationship with Christ. Affiliated with The Fellowship of Christian Assemblies, Philadelphia Church School of Ministry prepares and equips those called to ministry to be more effective leaders in the church through biblical and practical training.
We make it easier for students to obtain a college level education by having affordable tuition, hands on training, and open enrollment every semester.
Practical Experience:
Interns will be able to get hands-on training, ministry experience, spiritual formation, and academic understanding with an uncompromising commitment to excellence in ministerial, biblical, theological, and spiritual-formation training.

Pastors want to train their interns both academically and practically, and PCSOM is responding to the challenge.

Cults and the Occult

THURSDAY : 10:30am - 12:15pm

Instructor:  Pastor Derek Forseth

Course Description: We live in a culture where many claim that "all ways lead to God." Jesus made it clear in John 14:6 that He is the way, the Truth and the Life. Many voices try to pull humanity away from an intimate relationship with the true Creator (John 1). In this class we will give an overview of the cults and occultic practices which are both subtle and overt. Our aim is to be able to recognize where spiritual battles are occurring and to know the counterfeit when we see it.

Discover Your Spiritual Gifts

Course Description: All-church: those who would like to take the class for School of Ministry credit, may do so.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Based on Romans 12:6-8, this class helps believers understand how God has created each one uniquely with “motivational gifts” that are the driving force of our lives.They shape our personality, and help us serve God and others more fully. With this knowledge, believers are empowered to use their motivational gifts to both serve the body of Christ and further the Kingdom of God. This brings joy and fulfillment!
