What makes us unique

In this world today of the digital age, there are many online Bible schools and colleges, offering degrees and certificates. So why choose Lighthouse Ministries Discipleship Bible School?

This school only focuses on discipleship. The Lord has led us strongly on this path, for more than ever disciples need to be raised up according to the Great Commission, thus disciples who will also be able to fulfil the Great Commission. A lot of the colleges and schools are designed to raise up pastors, which is wonderful and awesome, but the Great Commission clearly expresses we need to make disciples, not pastors. To be a pastor, which is nothing more than under-shepherd to Jesus, is a calling and not a job. If this is how the Lord leads, then become one to His glory, but first, be a disciple.

And yes, in association with Revealed Word Bible College, this school is accredited.

Therefore, we believe more than ever followers of Jesus first need to lay the proper foundation of their faith and spiritual walk, therefore what it means to be a child of God and what it means to be a disciple of the Lord. This is important. Before we walk truly and properly in our calling and mandate, we need to first be disciples, and before you are a disciple, you are a son or daughter of the Lord.

Studies are designed to run in this order for a reason. For as we know what it means to be a disciple led by the Spirit we are then empowered to evangelize, to deliver as the Lord leads and to counsel. Yes, all of these courses is part and parcel of who a disciple is. These are not merely specialized fields of ministry, but fields of ministry that every disciple practices as the Spirit leads and guides.

Additional resources of training will be available for students, including an audio series on the discipleship, Holy Spirit and deliverance level one courses.

For Lighthouse Ministries, it is thus all about discipleship. It is all about the Kingdom, and to know what the Kingdom is about and how to follow the King of the eternal Kingdom.

Curriculum Design

The Lighthouse Ministries Discipleship Bible School curriculum has been set up with one main purpose – to empower, train and equip followers of Jesus to be true disciples. We are here to practically activate and mobilise disciples to the glory of God and in service of God.
The first year of school, in which you may obtain your certificate, teaches the fundamentals of discipleship, and how a disciple is called to be led by the Holy Spirit to fulfil the Great Commission of Matthew 28.

Take note, the school does not offer online training. Lighthouse Ministries will approve interested facilitators who will set up campuses. Students will liaise directly with such facilitators, who in turn will liaise with Lighthouse Ministries management.

Students dive straight into discipleship level one. This teaches the basic principles of discipleship. It will equip and empower you to already be activated for the Kingdom of God. The Great Commission also calls for Evangelism and Deliverance. Even though one might not be called according to your purpose or mandate to be a missionary for the Gospel or deliverance, any disciple must be able to engage in such fields of ministry. Take note, the first year is loaded with study material, but this is done to ensure students who do not wish to progress further with their studies are already well equipped and empowered.

The second year, in which you may obtain your diploma, builds on the foundation of discipleship, offering further in-depth study into the discipline of being a disciple. It looks more at who Jesus is, His ministry and the Way, Truth and Life as He presented for us to pursue diligently with passion. The student learns also more about evangelism in terms of missions and also delves deeper into deliverance from a spiritual warfare point of view.

The third year, in which you obtain your Bachelor's Degree in Theology, offers the chance to either major in ministry or deliverance.
