Twice a year classes will be offered at the ARC to train clergy and lay people from a Methodist perspective to do supernatural ministry.  Topics will be ones not taught in most seminaries, e.g. The Supernatural History of Methodism, Contemporary Manifestations of the Holy Spirit, Hearing from God, Praying for Healing, Dealing with the Demonic, etc.

THE METHODIST SCHOOL OF SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY

When Jesus said that “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing…” [Jn 14:12] at Aldersgate Renewal Ministries we believe that includes United Methodists today!  More than believing that miracles really happened, and beyond believing that God still performs miracles, Jesus invites us to live supernaturally today, doing on earth what He was doing.

The question is, where can Methodists who are longing to live in the supernatural learn about our Methodist heritage of supernatural ministry, how God is moving supernaturally in and through Methodists today and how to be used by God in supernatural ways?

The answer is, at The Methodist School of Supernatural Ministry!

What is that?

METHODIST

• Not that all courses will be taught by Methodists, but all courses will be taught in a “Methodist friendly” way, from a Methodist perspective.
• Manifestations of the Holy Spirit among Methodists in the past will be studied.
• Contemporary manifestations of the Spirit among Methodists will be shared.
• Ordained and lay Methodists are welcome.
• Non-Methodists who understand the Methodist perspective of the course are welcome.

 SCHOOL

• A place to learn together.
• Teachers who are moving in the supernatural.
• In the Old Testament there were schools of the prophets where people learned to exercise the prophetic gifts—1Sam 10:5-12; 1 Sam 19:20
• Everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.  Luke 6:40
• Practical subjects that are not taught in most seminaries.
• Learning how to minister God’s supernatural gifts.
• Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) will be given to those who want them.

SUPERNATURAL

• Supernatural means “over and above” our natural abilities that are also given to us by God.  Learning to live in the supernatural.
• We expect to be able to do ALL that Jesus did and commanded. Mt 28:20
• We believe that Jesus and the apostles did miracles and we expect to be enabled to do those things today.  Jn 14:12
• We expect God to use Bible-based teaching and preaching to be combined with miraculous demonstrations of the power of God to “fully proclaim” the kingdom of God. Ro 15:19

MINISTRY

• Putting into practice what we learn inside and outside of class, not just learning new insights into scripture.
• Seeing God work through you in supernatural ways to change lives forever.
• Jesus said we would DO what he had been doing. Jn 14:12
