A pastoral class in the capital city of China’s northern Shanxi Province started its one-year Bible course training.
A teaching seminar of Shanxi Christian Training Center was held in Qiaotoujie Church in Taiyuan City on August 5, where around 25 teachers attended the seminar, Taiyuan TSPM said.
At the seminar, Pastor Wang first introduced the original intention of setting up the pastoral class which is made up of believers who volunteer to serve in their churches. It is hoped that one year of study will bring significant benefits to their ministry since those believers are not able to have three years of off-the-job training.
Second, Wang introduced the plan to further optimize the curriculum. It is aiming to help students to build a basic belief system, develop their spiritual habits and reading habits, and make them able to learn independently so that all-around talents badly needed can be developed for churches in Shanxi.
