Church History · Current State of the Church · Where the Church Should Be and How to Get There
The TIS Ministers Class is the fourth program in the TIS Learning Path — exclusively for BootCamp graduates. It is a continous intensive designed to equip every believer called to ministry with three non-negotiable things: a clear understanding of where the Church has come from, an honest assessment of where it is today, and a burning vision for where it must go.
A minister without historical context is like a soldier without intelligence. A minister without a clear picture of the current state of the Church cannot effectively diagnose its problems. And a minister without vision cannot lead people anywhere. This class builds all three.
"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." — Matthew 16:18 NKJV
The Ministers Class is completely free and exclusively for BootCamp graduates. You must complete the full Learning Path before enrolling.

The Church did not begin in a building. It began in a moment — Acts 2:1-4 — when the Holy Spirit fell and ordinary men and women were transformed into ambassadors of the Kingdom. This module traces the complete history of the Church: the Early Church, the Church Fathers, the Great Schism, the Reformation, the Pentecostal Revival and the rise of the modern global church.
Acts 2 — Pentecost, the Upper Room and the first 3,000. What happened, why it happened, and what it means for the Church today.
The first 400 years — Paul's epistles, the persecuted Church, the Church Fathers and the formation of Christian doctrine.
From Constantine to Luther — the rise of institutional religion, corruption, and the Reformation that recovered the gospel of grace.
The 18th–20th century revivals, the Azusa Street outpouring, the Charismatic movement and the global spread of the gospel.
An honest assessment of where the Church is today — strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Before you can lead the Church forward, you must see it clearly as it is — not as you wish it were. This module is a Spirit-led diagnostic of the contemporary Church: what it is doing well, where it has drifted from Scripture, and what threats the enemy has introduced through compromise, comfort and cultural accommodation.
The characteristics of a New Testament church — Word, prayer, fellowship, breaking of bread, signs and wonders. Acts 2:42-47.
Identifying the major areas where the contemporary church has drifted from its biblical mandate and the cost of that drift.
A biblical critique of false gospels circulating in the modern church — wrong doctrines, false teachings and how to birth revival.
How the church navigates the tension between cultural relevance and doctrinal integrity — and where that line must be held.
Casting vision for the Church that Christ is building — and the role of every Kingdom Culture Minister in getting there.
The Church that Christ is building is not defeated, irrelevant or compromised. It is an unstoppable force — the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). This module is a vision and activation module: what the Church is meant to look like in every sphere of society, and the practical steps every TIS minister takes to build toward that vision.
Matthew 16:18 — the ekklesia, the called-out ones. Rediscovering the Church as a governing body, not merely a gathering.
The seven mountains — media, government, education, economy, family, religion and arts. How ministers are deployed in every sphere.
Servant leadership in practice — raising disciples, delegating, building culture and reproducing yourself in others.
Every student writes and declares their personal ministry mandate. The culmination of the Ministers Class journey.
A deep understanding of Church history — what worked, what failed, and what God has been building across the centuries.
The ability to see the current state of the Church clearly and speak into it with truth, love and biblical authority.
A written, declared personal ministry mandate — the specific assignment God has given you to build in the Kingdom.
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."Ephesians 4:11-12 NKJV
