The Licentiate of Church Planting qualification is specifically designed for Church Planters who are seeking to establish their Church and build strong organisational leadership skills. It is for those who are seeking to be equipped in advanced preaching, biblical and theological knowledge.
The Licentiate of Church Planting builds a strong leader and leadership team. It focuses on high-level leadership development and gaining a strong knowledge of the Bible and how to communicate it to a congregation.
What is a Licentiate of Church Planting? Licentiate comes from the Latin licentia, “freedom” which is applied in the phrases licentia docendi meaning permission to teach and licentia ad practicandum signifying someone who holds a certificate of competence to practise a profession i.e. ministry, theology or parish life.
Graduates of the Licentiate of Church Planting will be equipped with the skills they need for a wide range of church planting roles and functions including senior leadership and ministry roles. Many graduates go into leadership roles, such as senior pastor, associate pastor or departmental pastors, where they are using the leadership, biblical and theological skills they have developed.
This course aims to present students with a holistic strategy for dynamic church development and health from a Pentecostal perspective. It is designed for those in Christian ministry to assist them to reflect on their own ministry situations.
Peter describes himself as a teacher and trainer of Christians in a variety of contexts. He is committed to raising up disciples to reach their full potential, find their calling and to be lovers of Jesus and His word.

Peter has served as the National Director, Vineyard Churches Australia for more than 13 years. He holds a Doctor of Ministry (MST) 2012, where his thesis examined what the corporate worship gathering is about and impact of the Emerging Missional Church on the gathering and church life.

We need to empower the Church.
This odue was yet again, very informative and educational. Keep up the good work, God bless you.
This course has helped prepared me for my calling and has given me a better understanding of what Church is.
Church Dynamics and Health is a very interesting and critical course. I have learned so much about Kingdom Ministry leadership and the importance of the Holy Spirit empowerment in every area.
We are taught in various ways to believe that health they say is wealth, but in this lecture I want to agree with the lecturer that health is rather life. When there is health there will be growth and maturity.
The health of the church is a leadership challenge for christians and must be our prime concerns.
Learn about what happened in between the two Testaments, and how the Jewish and Greco-Roman world shaped the setting of Jesus’ story. You’ll then go straight into the Gospel accounts, pulling apart their key themes, audiences and concepts.

I hold to the view that this teaching is another way of impartation the spirit of God in the life of His people, the misconception of the person and work of the Holy Spirit is clearly stated and if one can apply the principles of this teaching then one relationship with God will surely be a unique one. I am for this expository and wonderful teaching.
The quality of the teaching of, the person & and work of the Holy Spirit is of high value and is a blessing to receive such a wonderful teaching.
This course has blessed me in many ways. I am thankful for all the knowledge I gained about the Holy Spirit
