TURNINGPOINT FAMILY CHURCH
The Cranbourne School of Ministry is firmly committed to train and equip men and women for the work of the ministry according to Eph 4:11-12. We recognize that a ministry depends totally on the gifting of God, and our aim is to identify, develop and release the gifts that God has given. Our Training is to be: Biblically Based - accepted that the Bible is the very Word of God. Through a systematic study of God's Word you will become thoroughly grounded in the Scriptures and in your faith, fulfilling the apostle Paul's exhortation to, "Do your best to present yourselves to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth" (2 Tim 2:15). Intensely Practical - equipping people for effective ministry. Our desire is not only to impart theoretical knowledge, but also to give practical training in all aspects of ministry. "Christ gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, to equip God's people for works of services, so that the body of Christ may be built up." (Eph 4:11-12) Character Transforming - developing a strong discipleship emphasis. Our aim is to develop men and women of Christ-like character. We are therefore committed to developing the essential qualities of discipleship and desire to see a growth in stability and integrity, the distinguishing marks of all followers of Jesus. "In the same way, let your lght shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven" (Matt 5:16). Spiritually Inspiring - imparting spiritual life and power. Our aim is to instruct men and women on how to move in the dimensions of the supernatural power of God (being open to the works of the Holy Spirit). Developing an intimate relationship with him is a priority of any ministry. "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8).
