A Unique Approach to Seminary Training : Multi-Tiered Approach To address the need for having a more uniform standard of students applying to I.L.T.I., the Board of Directors decided to take a unique approach to seminary training, by developing and implementing, a Multi Tiered System of Training some term "a cradle to grave" approach. Instead of trying to teach ill-prepared and substandard seminary students, I.L.T.I. will begin working with potential students prior to their becoming ministerial candidates to assure that they have a solid firm spiritual foundation built on the Word of God. I.L.T.I. will now offer three separate and distinct courses.
First, we will develop a course in the basic tenets of the Christian faith, which provides systematic training at the ‘grass root foundational level.’ The 'Foundations for Christian Living Course' will be designed to enhance the student’s faith while giving them a solid biblical and spiritual foundation to build their life on.
Only those who are called to the ministry, have a well-grounded firm faith, and walk with maturity and uprightness before God, may study our other courses.
Second, we will add content and divide our existing seminary program into an intermediate and advanced course, creating the 'ILTI-Building Christian Leaders Course,' and the 'ILTI-Mature Christian Leaders Course.'
This new multi-tiered approach to raising up Christian leaders will take a longer time of study than before. However, we will reduce the actual time spent in direct ministerial studies.
Each student needs only study to the level in which God is calling them. By breaking I.L.T.I. into three courses, the I.L.T.I. Program will be more versatile and able to fit needs. This new approach also has the added benefit of placing ministerial candidates in active full time supervised ministerial positions early in their studies. This gives the sponsoring organization an opportunity to utilize these people, while allowing them to continue to develop to their fullest potential.
We have designed the first course to help the student grow and develop spiritually by building a solid biblical foundation. The second course delves deeper into biblical studies and provides a solid base on which the graduate is thoroughly trained and able to 'rightly divide the word of God.’ (2 Timothy 2:15) The third course is only for those that God has called to the ministry.
