The success of an individual or an organization comes down to the ability to lead and manage in a strategic way. Think of the military and how they approach leadership and management – there is always a long-term plan, preparations are painstaking and meticulous and there is always a ‘whatever it takes’ and a ‘can do’ attitude.
Once this matter is understood, both leaders and members of the church alike will stand firm to defend the faith which was once handed down to them by faithful men and women.
This course emphasizes that the church and as a matter of fact any entity that wants to grow and expand need loyal and committed people. It teaches that since disloyal people destroy and break down what has been built, there is a need to eradicate any symptoms of disloyalty or unfaithfulness.
We see many examples of unfaithfulness in the scriptures and how God or the early church fathers dealt with such behaviors and attitudes in order to protect what has been built.
The true definition of loyalty is God Himself. Scripture tells us that even if we are faithless, Christ remains faithful. Even if a believer fails God will remain loyal to His words.
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know that Yahweh your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commands.

The word apostle means ‘messenger’ or ‘one sent forth’, which gives us a clue to what an apostolic calling entails. Like the thumb, the finger that allows us to hold things, apostles are pioneers and builders who are gifted in establishing and upholding churches, ministries, and movements.
“When (Jesus) ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men … And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God …” (Ephesians 4:8-13)
We are seeing the greatest shift ever in these last days in an apostolic culture which is becoming a valid mission field for the believer. We have the great privilege of seeing believers find fulfillment in every legitimate career and occupation. This is not a new theme at all. It has occurred at many times in history, starting with the people of Israel. We could also see Paul the Apostle and many more in our current days who are bi-vocational, having jobs alongside their ministries.
Our marketplace apostleship course will introduce you to the meaning and definition of An Apostle, mandate, office, and operations. The role of the believer in the marketplace, Key characteristics, how business apostles equip their saint, manifest God’s glory at the workplace and seeing your vocation also as a ministry.

Greater Works Chapel International as a ministry views its members as partners in building God’s Kingdom on earth. It is a formal relationship between a local church and a Christian. This partnership is really a reflection of the organic relationships and community that already exist in the local body of Christ.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Partnership help, empower and serve each other to enrich their shared ministry. We do all of our work through local members because we desire to equip the members to fulfill their role as salt and light in this world as a catalyst for community change.

A life driven by purpose will always be a life that is blessed and cherished on earth. We are called by God to influence this world through Jesus Christ. Therefore, to live a purpose-driven life, we have to live a life that has value, and we have to live up to our fullest potential.
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,…… everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. Colossians 1:16 MSG
The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for His purpose.
The big question is are you living a purpose-driven life? Is your life full of meaning, wonder, and fulfillment? We were created by God to live out His plans and purpose for our lives on earth. This is what brings out joy and happiness.
This course is based on Pastor Rick Warren’s book and in that book he reveals the meaning of life from a Christian perspective – five purposes that you were created by God to fulfill.

The Christian faith centers on beliefs regarding the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While it started with a small group of adherents, we believe the spread and adoption of Christianity throughout the world as one of the most successful spiritual missions in human history.
Belief in God as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is at the heart of our faith as a church. We won’t ever asked if you completely understand all this. But we will ask whether you believe and trust. This is what we called faith.
The Christian faith is not a human invention. There are signs of God’s existence and handiwork in creation for anyone to read (Acts 14:15-17). But we believe in the way we do because God has come to seek us out and has made Himself known to us through our Lord Jesus Christ.
GWCI have a firm commitment to equipping and educating the body of Christ to be better followers of Jesus Christ and to fulfill the great commission according to Matthew 28:18-20 We have all these classes designed to teach Godly principles, educating and empowering the lives of the believer.
