This course is designed to prepare students for a life-time of effective ministry. It is the first course of a series that meets the requirements for a basic understanding of the church history, denominational polity, and Alliance theological distinctives. Students will demonstrate a deeper commitment to the pursuit of God and fulfillment of the Great Commission through extensive study of C&MA history and development. This course also serves as a platform of learning for accreditation, licensing, and consecration with the C&MA.
