This course studies the particular needs and ways of communicating Biblical truths to children and youth. The course aims at developing a biblical understanding of the place of children and youth in the church and at reflecting on ways of discipling them. It is also intended to help those leading children and youth ministries to develop solid, God and Bible-centered programs, which will challenge attendees in their spiritual walk with God. This is to be done considering that both children and youth in Namibia (or Sub-Saharan Africa) have particular problems and needs facing them (such as orphanhood, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, HIV/AIDS, etc.). This course is designed to be practical throughout.

This basic discipleship course introduces students to the practical, devotional and pastoral implications of living out the Christian life and is divided into three main sections. The first section deals with the Biblical concept that Christians are sustained by God’s grace and therefore the focus of the Christian life is not one of performance but dependence on Christ. The second section deals with some of the activities of the Christian life such as Christian service, membership of a church, personal guidance through the Spirit and the devotional life of a believer. In the third section, the need for evangelism and witness as integral aspects of the Christian life will be discussed.

The main focus of this course is the person and work of Jesus Christ. The course introduces students to the biblical teaching and historical perspectives on various key Christological topics such as Christ’s deity, incarnation, ministry, resurrection, ascension and present as well as future work of Christ. Various images of salvation will be discussed. The other focus of this course is on disciple making and how the results of Christ’s work can be mediated to people who want to come to faith in Christ, as well as how Christ sustains (new) believers through his presence, through his Spirit and through other believers.

This course explores the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit in the light of Scripture, the historical heritage and the contemporary context. The focus is on the person of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit’s role in the life of both the church as a whole and of individual Christians. The theological framework that will be developed in this course helps the students to understand the eschatological orientation of the Christian life and life of the Church. Various eschatological topics, such as the phrase ‘already and not yet’, the Kingdom of God, sanctification, the resurrection of the body, the renewal of this earth etc will be discussed from within the developed pneumatological framework. A special emphasis is further on the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian conversion and growth. This will be discussed with a view on the practice of maturing Christians in the local church.
