In an effort to further develop and equip its leaders, the Church of God of Prophecy (COGOP) has signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” agreement with the Pentecostal Theological Seminary (PTS), expanding educational options for the Church’s leaders and members around the world.

Bishop Sam N. Clements, general overseer of the Church of God of Prophecy, and Dr. R. Lamar Vest, president of Pentecostal Theological Seminary, signed the agreement Tuesday at the COGOP International Offices in Cleveland, Tennessee, surrounded by the Church’s General Presbyters and International Offices staff.

“This is a very exciting and wonderful day for the Church of God of Prophecy,” Clements remarked. “We join hands with our brothers and come together in an agreement, this Memorandum of Understanding, so that we can work together to help educate our ministers and spread the Gospel message across this whole world.”

The new agreement will see increased promotion of the seminary at Church of God of Prophecy events, scholarships and the option of cohort groups around the world offering certificate programs, graduate studies and even a doctorate of ministry. The programs will include: Diploma in Wesleyan Pentecostal Ministry (90 units), Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (48 credit hours), Master of Arts in Counseling (48 credit hours) and Doctor of Ministry (36 credit hours).

“This is an incredible opportunity,” said Dr. Vest. “We’re in the business of training people, our young men and women, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is going to give us a grand opportunity to train a new generation to preach the Gospel.”

Vest also remarked on the new partnership being a homecoming of sorts for the seminary, which is a Church of God institution, and the Church of God of Prophecy, a sister organization, both headquartered in the same city. Vest said the seminary offers the chance for COGOP members to learn from instructors in the Wesleyan Pentecostal tradition.

Wonderful news Mat. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I was involved in a high level administrative position at Tomlinson College. I am glad to see the COGOP supporting the idea of ministerial education. Friendly Face

You may have missed this part of the full article:

The Church of God of Prophecy has educational arms already active, such as the Center for Biblical Leadership and agreements with Lee University Online and Massachusetts-based Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, which will continue.


Methocostal,

The COGOP has over 400 students (last number I heard) in the Gordon-Conwell COGOP program, along with a sizable number in a program with Fuller out in California. I don't know how many Lee related students the COGOP has currently in the various programs but I know a number of COGOP ministers have continued their education in a variety of institutions such as Liberty U. I would like to see the COGOP establish agreements with ORU and Evangel U. as well.

With Billy Wilson at ORU, that should be an easy connection to make.

Post Evangel U Mat
I believe the new president of Evangel U. was raised COGOP as well. Our former are bound for greatness. Just look at you!

Does this mean that all COG churches must now place a picture of AJT on the wall and bring out the flags?

Hey, I'm glad the educational relationship is crystallizing.

No, don't think that's the plan. True unity between the organization will not happen until the generations that are in bondage to the past pass. Come on Old Timer, you're holden up the program. You know, "Let the Church Roll On!"
