The Three Shorts Courses are:
Essential Theology for Ministry
It covers a compact overview or four theological themes: Old and New Testament, Christian Faith, the History of the Christian Church, and the Present Challenges and Opportunities for the Church in SA.
The aim and objectives of course
The aim of the course is to give veteran/newcomer/beginner pastors and other persons in different ministries, an overview of the basic theological knowledge they need for a responsible ministry. For some pastors who could only do a Bible School course it would be a kind of finishing course to prepare them for ministry. For other persons in different ministries within the church, FBO's & NGO'S within communities with ambitions to do a theological degree it would be a preparatory course to see whether university study is for them or not.
