The Body Builders Development Programme
“Building Ministry Workmen in The Spirit of Excellence”

Introduction | Objectives | Structure | Modes | Certification | Schedule | Registration

The BBDP is a practical training programme, not a higher learning institute. This means that our focus is more upon what matters in the practical day-to-day outworking of life and ministry, rather than on the academic issues of theory and theology. Our aim is to ground our delegates in God’s Word, and train them in real-world.

If your aim is to become an effective minister in whatever calling God has placed upon your life, then there is no better choice than the BBDP! However if your primary aim is to get a degree in theology, then you may need to consider a more academic focused training institute.

Duration:   The Course is to be completed over a two to three month period. An adittional two months is allowed for delegates to complete and submit their course projects.
  
Content:   The Course is made up of 6 (six) Parts each containing between 1 and 3 modules, with Q&A and breakout session during each course part.
 
Attendance:   Delegates are expected to attend all 6 Parts of the course as per schedule (once a month), in order to qualify for the certificate award.

For each Part, delegates spend four hours (including lunch break) for instructor lead sessions. An estimate of a further two (2) clock hours in course work per module is required.
  
Deliverables:   Coursework – Each delegate will be expected to complete and submit a course report based on a practical application of the previous session’s topic. Details of the course work and submission deadline will be adviced during the session. Final project – Each Delegate will also be required (either as an individual or part of a group) to complete and submit a final project based on a topic to be decided by their respective church Pastor.

Presentation – Delegates will also be required to host a session in which they will present their project result and be cross examined by a panel of interviewers to include their Church pastor, BBDP Principal and instructors.

Examination – None!
  
Certification:  The BBDP certificate in church/ministry work will be awarded to those who successfully complete the 6 modules and a practical course project within the active registration period (see note 1). Those who successfully complete less than six modules will be awarded a note of attendance.
