Second 8TH Week Apostolic Institute of Theology

Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology is ushering in a new era of Christian leadership training and accountability, with new Christian education tools, empowering faith participants through IDCCST® Choice Education to recognize and understand their own spiritual growth experiences.

These benchmark changes are now facilitating a complete paradigm shift, a historically unprecedented liberation for Christianity from the centuries of merchandising and manipulations that come from paradoxical and shifting protocols. We believe that Jesus Christ is our salvation and that the full reward of salvation is found only in those things which Jesus prepared for us to abide in Him. We believe in Quality of Faith for Quality of Life. Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology stands as a beacon and pacesetter in Christian Education for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation.

Apostle Eric and the apostles and elders of Second 8th Week believe that it is vital that the church returns to the stewardship of God's care and we believe that change takes place as each individual learns how to accept Jesus as the compass for faith. The Bible points to Apostolic Governance to establish the kingdom of God in the hearts of those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. Jesus came to give life, to make the soul living. Jesus appointed 12 apostles to begin His ministry, but continued to call apostles to steward His grace in the hearts of those who believe. Today's apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers must first be inistructed before they can function in their calling.

Our desire is that each student grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, grow in discernment, grow in body ministry, and learn from the Holy Spiirt. As the Bible says, "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen" (2Pet.3:18). Distance Learning offeres the Certificate of Completion. All programs offered contain identical course curriculum and are completed through Distance Learning with no residency requirements. More about our programs:

• Foundation Series Training Program (FSTP):

  Build the Foundation of Truth in Your Heart
  If you are a believer in Christ and would like to transition into the Second Covenant to grow up into Christ's fulness and learn how to minister to others, we welcome you. The Foundation Series assists you to reflect on God’s knowledge to reflect the image of His Son in your heart. Charity is then the life of your faith. For God nurtures you by His Spirit and Truth, and through each cycle you grow in Him. The master builder (apostle) gives truth to the heart, but the stones must be laid in faith of those who hear. Your curriculum is supported by Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology’s audio library that will give you a verse by verse teaching of many of the books of the New Testament as well as selected scriptures from the Old Testament. Your curriculum is further supported by an our Student Resource Center, which is an online fellowship forum designed as a place where you can come each day to be nourished by the grace of God. Teachings from the apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and evangelists of Second 8th Week World Wide Apostolic Assemblies provide milk and strong meat for the growth of the saints, that all may be fed spiritually and kept in remembrance of their priestly duties to God through the Second Covenant.

• Leadership Training and Accreditation Program (LTAP):

  Christian Leadership Returns the Focus of Faith Upon Jesus
  We believe that those in current Christian leadership positions will be used of God to restore the church to Jesus, build His church by the Spirit, and expand His kingdom in the hearts of those who love Him. If you are a minister seeking Christian leadership training and accreditation, we welcome you. The season is manifest for leaders and ministers to join hands to labor in His field, reaping the end time harvest. Leaders, God has most likely communicated to you concerning His call upon your life as an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, or teacher. You may be currently serving in several capacities. If you desire to fulfill your calling as God ordained and to be a part of God’s move to transition the church back to her first love, then the LTAP program is your first step in that direction.Your progress through the program will be overseen by qualified instructors who are confirmed into their calling. Let us remember: The righteous rejoice in the equity of God, which we carry to all places, to all brethren, to enrich all in the faith. The holy knowledge of Christ’s kingdom is the roots that grow in us, making us new creatures. Let us also remember to build God’s kingdom in honor of Him. For when we honor man we remove the crown from Jesus' head, but when we obey God, we set the crown on His head.

• Congregation Transition Training Program (CTTP):

  Fulfill Your Calling and Help Restore Your Church
  

  You may be a pastor of a small church or large congregation, or you may be a bishop with several churches and schools under you, and you feel God has called you to help transition your church back to her first love. Enrollment in to the Congregation Transition Training Program (CTTP) is your first step towards that goal. Your progress through the program will be overseen by qualified instructors who are confirmed into their calling. You will receive one-on-one assistance to transition your congregation. It is important to return the focus of faith on Jesus Christ who is the Chief Corner Stone, that He may mark the place of her confidence in His grace. Without grace, the focus of the church was dictated by the needs of the flesh and all things then reflected those needs, bringing the soul back into bondage. These are the kinds of things you will be able to teach your congregation: (1) The shield of the righteous is Christ and His power is in those tools of our priesthood, (2) Those that use the tools of righteousness remove the powers of Satan, overcoming his wiles concealed in lust, (3) The righteous follow after those things that feed the soul in charity, (4) The peace of God prevails in our hearts as we walk by faith, and glorify the Son and the Father.

• IDCCST® Certification Program: Restore and Rebuild Faith in Jesus Christ

  IDCCST® Certification—Restore and Rebuild Faith in Jesus Christ,
  
  The IDCCST® Certification Program is a 2 month certificate program offered to all students who earn the Apostolic Institute’s IDCCST® Choice Education Certificate of Completion. All students must successfully complete 9 credits of coursework. By having certification in place as a credential, Certificate holders can apply for position as Program Instructor and Counselor (PIC). PICs are certified as IDCCST® Choice Education Instructors who help restore and rebuild faith in Jesus Christ. Our instructors currently serve as volunteers through the Apostles’ Institute Distance Learning. PICs also hold positions as instructors in our World Wide Apostolic Assemblies. Dr. vonAnderseck’s doctoral thesis is used in three survey studies into the root cause of Exigent Faith: (1) The removal of Apostolic Governance from the church, (2) Disparity in Program rediction, Enggement, and Outcome, and (3) Lack of Pattern Recognition Skills. Students are encouraged to draw upon his/her IDCCST® education to direct faith in righteousness. We believe that God designed the gospel after the image of Christ to establish faith in Himself and that He sustains faith with His power. The gospel of Man has no power to effect life, and this false knowledge leaves a breach in the soul: But the power of God brings life and salvation. Those who desire to become a program instructor and help others rebuild faith in Jesus Christ may apply.
