St Peter and St Paul’s is an Artizo Training Church
If a church is not a training church, it is a dying church.
If we do not empower the next generation to continue in gospel ministry, then the message dies with us. The good news of Jesus Christ is preached today because faithful men and women passed it on from one generation to the next.
Artizo trains and mentors students of the gospel so that you, and those who come after, can have a church based on biblical truth.
Six aspects of a training church
The New Testament calls all churches to equip and train people in gospel ministry who can, in turn, equip and train others. 2 Timothy 2:2 says, “...and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” Since 1998, Artizo has trained and mentored over 150 apprentices.
The Artizo curriculum provides an intensive hands-on two-year apprenticeship program to equip future ministers to faithfully teach and preach God’s word, and practice in all aspects of ministry. Training and mentoring take place at Artizo Training Churches, supported by local congregations.
1. Opportunity – We accept and integrate our apprentices into the life of our church and provide them with opportunities for real, hands-on ministry.
2. Encouragement – Our apprentices learn by doing. At times we expect them to stumble and fail, but we accept their failures and provide constructive feedback and encouragement.
3. Generosity – We are generous with our prayers for our Artizo apprentices. And we commit to giving financial support in response to the gospel mandate to train others.
