Vision:
To
enable any disciple of Jesus Christ to receive a
balanced education in the theology of God's
Truth in Love, Holiness and Power in one year.
And in the second year to encourage the
development of Christian Maturity for Ministry
to train others also.
II.
Location:
The
seminary will be basically centered at Pilgrims'
Inn Abbey, (Hale Maluhia) www.pilgrims-inn.com
we are in the process of confirming the three
years of classes and curriculum. The seminary
will be a subsidiary of Trinity Fellowship
International and soon will also have a book
store, "Acts
29 Book Store", in order to
make text books available for our students at
the lowest possible cost..
III.
Study
Plan:
Students
will receive guided study for the basic theology
of each course.
Students
will then have an interactive discussion on what
was learned each week.
Students
will submit a two page, double spaced paper
covering each chapter.
Pass
or fail will be posted each week as per
instructor's evaluation. An evaluation for
previous ministry experience may also be
accepted for equivalent subjects.

class and study options may be included at the
discretion of the Dean.

student disciple will have a file kept on the main
office computer. Each subject may also have a file
