In your personal witness, you will have a better grasp of key aspects of our faith and be able to communicate them to people you meet. In teaching in the local congregation, your depth of knowledge will inspire others to believe, to live out their faith and grow deeper in their walk with God. As a leader, you will develop key leadership and preaching skills through the teaching of the experienced professors that lead the courses. 4. Q.
