Through a well-structured series of classes, it nurtures believers in understanding the core doctrines of Christianity, the values of fellowship, and the purpose of ministry within the church. The program aims to guide members in understanding their identity as new creations, the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives, and the significance of evangelism and Christian values. Each class provides insights that support their spiritual growth, effective church participation, and equips them to inspire and lead others.

Curriculum

What you will learn

Seven classes that ground you in the Word, the Holy Spirit and the life of the church.

Class 1: The New Creature

The term “new creature” is directly from scriptures (2 Cor 5:17), and describes the new man in Christ, that is, one who is born again. This new creature has a new life and therefore a new nature. This class will discuss some of the implications and realities of this. And by the end of this class you will have a foundational understanding and acceptance that you are a new creature with a life and nature that is from God, and is superior to defeat or failure, and is for glory and virtue (2 Pet 1:3) and to display the virtues and perfections of God (1 Pet 2:9 Ampc).

Class 2: The Holy Spirit

The Ministry of the Holy Spirit is essential for every believer, as Jesus taught when He urged His disciples to wait until they were “endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). This class explores the Holy Spirit’s vital role in a Christian’s life, imparting divine strength and empowering believers to live victoriously and share the Gospel (Acts 1:8). As our Comforter and Counselor (John 14:16), the Holy Spirit brings God’s presence into our lives, guiding and equipping us with spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Through Him, believers can also speak in tongues, a powerful means of communicating with God and strengthening faith (1 Corinthians 14:2; Jude 1:20). By the end of this class, you will gain foundational insight into activating the Holy Spirit’s power within, enabling you to live a life of continuous growth and purpose.

Class 3: Christian Doctrine
In this class, students explore foundational doctrines critical to the Christian life, beginning with the Bible’s supremacy as God’s complete and timeless Word (2 Timothy 3:16). They learn about their spiritual identity in God’s Kingdom, which operates above the physical world (Colossians 1:13). Key doctrines include righteousness (Romans 5:17), faith, repentance, and eternal judgment, forming a solid basis for belief. The class also covers “Christian Activism and Apologetics,” encouraging boldness in advancing and defending the gospel (Matthew 6:18), and introduces “Loveworld Exceptionalism, Expansionism, and Perfectionism,” inspiring members to strive for global impact and excellence in ministry.
Class 4: Evangelism and Introduction to Cell Meeting

In this class on evangelism, students will learn that sharing the Gospel involves more than “saving” souls; it requires “winning” them fully into a committed, growing relationship with Christ (Matthew 28:19-20). This means not only sharing the message of salvation but also guiding new believers toward discipleship and connection within the church. Evangelism is presented as a personal responsibility and a sacred ministry entrusted to every Christian by God (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). As ministers of reconciliation, students are called to live out and share the transformative message they have received, helping others experience the same life-changing power. The Cell Ministry is a potent strategy for producing the results of Eph 4:11-16 where every member grows, every member matures and every member supplies to the growth of the Church.

Class 5: Christian Living
The new Creature has a new life, which makes it possible to develop a new character and lifestyle that is consistent with his calling in Christ. While your salvation is instantaneous, your growth is progressive, and is from glory to glory. Growth can be seen in the quality of your Character, which as a Christian is expected to be Christ like. This is not only possible, it is necessary. In this Class we will look at some fundamentals from the scriptures to set you on a course of irreversible and progressive growth!
Class 6: Church and Community
In this class, students will explore the importance of belonging to a local church, emphasizing the role of consistent attendance and engagement within the Body of Christ. Beginning with an understanding of the Universal Church, or “ecclesia,” as the collective body of believers worldwide, students learn how the local assembly serves as a vital, divinely-ordained environment for spiritual growth, discipleship, and effective ministry (Ephesians 4:11-16). Through fellowship, service, and the consistent hearing of God’s Word, the local church becomes a place of refuge, strength, and transformation for every believer (1 Timothy 3:15). Additionally, students will review the vision and mission of Christ Embassy, which is dedicated to spreading God’s presence globally and raising disciples who fulfill God’s purpose. The class will conclude with an overview of key statements of faith, foundational beliefs grounded in Scripture that guide and unify the ministry.
Class 7: Technology in Ministry
In this class, students will discover how technology serves as a powerful tool for advancing the Gospel within Christ Embassy. With a strong commitment to utilizing and developing technology, Christ Embassy equips its members to use ministry platforms and apps for personal growth, accessing valuable information, and engaging in evangelism. This session includes a video tutorial showcasing our primary ministry technology platforms, guiding students on how to download, sign up, and effectively use these tools for sharing the Gospel and discipling others. A hands-on segment allows students to practice using these applications on their own devices, with demo phones provided for those without internet-enabled phones. This class empowers each member to harness technology’s full potential for ministry impact and church growth.
