God has entrusted us with a very special curriculum for the training and equipping of servants for His Church. We endeavour to teach God’s Word with fervour, seeking to equip more servants for His Church. This will be done in the following way:

Certificate in Ministry

This, currently non-accredited Certificate in Ministry, consists of residential training at Silver Oaks on a quarterly basis. This set curriculum consists of 36 courses done for 5 days once a term on set dates (four times per year). Experienced lecturers that are well versed in the Scriptures and have had some theological training facilitate these times of training. The curriculum is currently under revision in order to make it more contextual and to improve the standard of training. Accreditation is also being investigated through SETA as well as REFORMA.

Each of these modules consist of 12 subjects that represent 120 credit hours. The format of training is distance education with classes and follow the same rhythm as the SCBS Certificate in Ministry.

Secondary Level
