Ministry Impartation
Training
The Ministry Impartation Training (M.I.T.) is a 20 weeks Curriculum with the goal of equipping believers and church leaders in the understanding and the practice of the spiritual gifts and ministries.
Ministry Impartation
Training M.I.T.
1 Corinthians 14:12 tells us that the Gifts are meant to edify/build up the Church.
And
Ephesians 4:12 tells us that the ministries are meant to Equip Christ’s followers.
​
Often though, churches lack experience and understanding in the matter. Whether it is by fear of what would happen if those gifts and ministries were released, or simply because they only recognize the value of teaching within the assembly. Other churches might do the opposite and lack serious order in the practice of spiritual gifts. Finding a strong balance in them is at the root of any spiritual Revival.
​
During 20 weeks you will be learning what church ministry is all about when it is experienced through the lens of the ministries and the gifts. With a very practical approach, we will explore what Jesus envisioned for his church to be administered outside of the religious spectrum.
​
Through the City on The Hills MIT, you will learn how to:
- strengthen your personal relationship with Christ,
- hear from God for intercessory prayer and for lifting up others,
- share your faith with your neighbors and pray for healing,
- care and establish a culture of caring in a group,
- teach others to obey God,
- equip and send out believers for the Harvest.
​
The course will be held at the City on The Hills Headquarters in Penn Hills every Saturday from 9:30 AM to 1 PM (lunch included!). Every session will be usually split between worship/teaching/practice/fellowship.
​
The beginning and the end of the course will be held at Cornerstone Church in the North Hills for 2 days (Friday night and all-day Saturday) of the Encounter Training in partnership with the CDN network.
​
Beginning: Friday, February 3rd 2023
Then every Saturday mornings until two days in June 23rd and June 24th
Closing Ceremony: Saturday, June 24th 2023.
​
Cost: $199 (This covers subscription fee, and 6 books)
It is a very low starting price and will significantly increase in the future, but since it is the first time this training will be offered, we want to experiment with and through you our content.

Each session will usually involve a time of worship and prayer, a short meditation brought by one of the learners, a teaching session on the topic, Q&A, fellowship through a shared meal, and as often as we can, practice on one another or outside with “real” people in the area.
​
The end result of the training will, once again, bring clarity to your calling, encourage you to pursue specific gifts, and help you identify the fruit of your actual ministry and where your strengths are.

I am truly excited to see what God is about to do in your life through this season!
