MODULE 5: PROMOTION AMONG WORKERS

Strangers in the church are regarded as newcomers. As they develop

Spiritually, they begin to climb the hierarchical ladder from the bottom.

That is, new comers move to non-baptised members, to baptised members

who become workers in training, then fully fledged workers. It is among

the workers that Deacons/Deaconesses are ordained. From

Deacons/Deaconesses to Assistant Pastors, from Assistant Pastors to

Pastors and so on and so forth.

In addition to the exceptional character, spiritual endowments and

evangelical abilities, it is required that a worker be presented for

ordination and/or promotion, must have attended the School of Disciples,

School of Missions/Bible College and other major programmes and

conditions as specified by the Mission.
