Jubilee Harvest College isn’t just shaping future leaders within its classrooms; it’s fostering practical ministry skills through a unique partnership with Friends Church Sichelele. This church, established by the very founders of the college, serves as a living laboratory for students, providing hands-on experience in the day-to-day operations of an active and growing congregation.
Located in the heart of the Sichelele area, with reach extending to the neighboring villages of Shikondi and Makhokho, Friends Church Sichelele is more than just a place of worship; it’s a vibrant community hub. This active congregation provides Jubilee Harvest College students with an invaluable training ground for developing their pastoral and leadership skills.
Students at the college are actively involved in the various aspects of church life, from preaching and teaching to leading worship, organizing community outreach programs, and providing pastoral care. This immersive experience allows them to apply the theories and principles learned in the classroom to real-world situations, gaining practical competence and confidence in their abilities.
The partnership between the college and the church is mutually beneficial. While students gain invaluable experience, the church benefits from the energy, enthusiasm, and diverse gifts of the students. This dynamic interaction creates a vibrant atmosphere, fostering spiritual growth and community engagement for all involved.
Beyond the practical skills development, the experience at Friends Church Sichelele provides students with a unique opportunity for self-discovery. By serving in different roles within the church community, students are able to explore their God-given gifts and talents. They discover where their passions lie and how they can best use their abilities to serve God and others. This process of self-discovery is crucial for effective leadership, allowing students to align their skills with their calling.
This investment in Friends Church Sichelele reflects Jubilee Harvest College’s commitment to holistic leadership development. By bridging the gap between academic learning and practical application, the college is empowering students to become effective and impactful Christian leaders. The hands-on experience gained at the church not only equips students for future ministry but also strengthens the local community, creating a ripple effect of positive change. This is more than just education; it’s a transformative journey of growth, service, and discovering one’s unique place in God’s plan.
