PathWay(s) Ministry Training Development

The PathWay(s) Ministry Training Development is channeled toward Christian education and preparing believers of Jesus Christ who understand the call to service and the willingness to prepare. The Bible clearly admonishes the church to “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15).” The Message (MSG) paraphrases 2 Timothy 2:14-17, “Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God’s people. Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It just wears everyone out. Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple. Stay clear of pious talk that is only talk. Words are not mere words, you know. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul….” It is of upmost importance that God’s word is echoed in the hearts of students while making application in their everyday responsibilities.

The perspective PathWay(s) focuses on the essence of fulfilling “The Great Commission” found in Matthew 28:16-20. This command from Jesus is significant because it is a personal instruction for Christians to have a profound faith in Jesus Christ and to seek out others to do likewise. As learners follow the path(s) set before them biblically, may the Word of God as their compass, pilot their way. May this be the beginning of a journey abounding with pursing studies of being spiritually healthy.
