The Grow Center starts new partnership with national prison ministry
The Grow Center of Northern Seminary and Koinonia House National Ministries (KHNM) are now working together to bring biblically based discipleship training program to men living in the KHNM residence program in Wheaton. The Grow Center will oversee our Certificate in Church Leadership at KHNM. These courses will be taught to the residence members and staff. The Certificate Program will become a vital component of the KHNM discipleship program.
 The curriculum for this 16 class program was developed by The Urban Ministry Institute (a ministry of World Impact). To complete the total certificate program the learner receives over190 instructional hours plus completing written assignments. The certificate is both biblically based and grounded in practical ministry.
There are three prayer requests with moving this partnership forward;
1- Funds to support the program. Textbooks, workbooks and other fees must come from other sources than the intended learners. For the most part prisoners or those just recently release will not have the financial capacity to pay for these courses.
2- That instructors will be found that have a heart for both theological education and those who are incarcerated or recently released.
3- Because of the excellent working relationship that KHNM has with administrators and chaplains within the State of Illinois correctional system, we are making contacts with state correctional officials. Pray that the Certificate Program can be offered at state correctional facilities.
