CMSD Graduate Certificate (National and International)
Foundations in the Apostles Doctrine (10-Week Program)
In 2023, Christ Ministries School of Divinity (CMSD) and the Apostolic World Christian Fellowship (AWCF) formed a partnership to reach the world with the true Apostolic gospel through anointed education anchored in truth. This 10-week fully online graduate certificate program seeks to fulfill the scriptural declaration of Jesus, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).
CMSD offers this graduate certificate program both nationally and internationally. We use a scholar-practitioner approach to not only empower learners with knowledge, but also to apply the knowledge they have learned in the real world.
Two Available Options
Option 1 – International Leaders: This graduate certificate is available to those living outside to United States, who desire a firm foundation in the Apostolic doctrine. This program consists of two courses, one four-week and one six-week, on the Apostles Doctrine and the Godhead respectively to establish the appropriate biblical foundation for these leaders to build their churches and ministries upon.
Option 2 – National (USA): This graduate certificate is available to those living inside to United States, who desire a firm foundation in the Apostolic doctrine. We support Pastors, Organizations, and Local Churches with freedom to focus on more pressing plans for growing their ministries, while we instruct their key leaders and/or members in Apostolic Truth through two online Bible college courses. This ten-week program empowers individuals with biblical truths concerning inspiration of Scripture, the plan of salvation, Godhead, monotheism, and the absolute deity of Jesus Christ. The program ultimately strengthens the Apostolic foundation and leadership prowess within the United States AWCF Community. This is the same program provided in Option 1 yet made available to those within the United States.
Key Components
Four-Week Online Course on Foundations of the Apostles Doctrine: This course lays the foundational philosophy and establishes the framework for biblical truth, particularly regarding the plan of salvation and who God truly is. The course also establishes how Scripture was formed and God-inspired.
Six-Week Online Course on Pentecostal Theology I: The Oneness of God: This course provides a comprehensive study of fundamental biblical truths regarding Godhead, monotheism, and the absolute deity of Jesus Christ. Comparisons and contrasts of Oneness doctrine are used to rebut contrary interpretations, such as trinitarian doctrine.

Endorsements
After piloting the first 10-week Certificate Program in 2023 to AWCF Nigerian Leaders, we received high praise and appreciation for those completing it. We want to share a few excerpts from a few of these leaders:
“You tore down obstacles and walls, imparting me with profound spiritual insight as if I were attending theological school for the first time. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you thoroughly repaired and transformed my spiritual foundation. My theological ideals have shifted completely with a true understanding of the TRUTH of God’s Word (Acts 2:38-39). This overwhelming TRUTH has healed me fully, and I now comprehend the vital importance of baptizing in the name of Jesus, not just the titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost… You poured heavenly knowledge into my life beyond what words can express… I am burning with passion for God and hungry for soul winning. Through your teaching, all my nagging questions were answered regarding notions of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. You helped me realize the trinity is not scriptural. I was delivered from the error of baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I gained clarity on baptizing in the name of Jesus. I am deeply grateful for this enlightenment. I loved God before but now you made me to love God more and more. God bless you my Bishop and Mama Kay” (Pastor Chukwuebuka Prince GreatAWCF National Secretary, Nigeria).
I have continued to advance the agenda of the Oneness of God after this training. The response has been overwhelming. A week after the conclusion of this training I had a crusade in Benue State North Central Nigeria. All the pastors and leaders from the community where the program held were given training on the Oneness of God and baptism in Jesus name only. A lot of them confessed that they were getting to know this. While I have had some arguments from some persons, the majority of the people I have spoken to especially about the Oneness of God and baptism in Jesus name never thought of it. It is an eye opener for a lot. Since this training I no longer answer amen to prayers done ceremonially in the name of God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God is one and His revealed name is Jesus. Thank you to the Apostolic World Christian Fellowship for this wonderful opportunity” (Evangelist Abah Eloche).
“In our ministration, we incorporated various elements to communicate the oneness of God and the plan of salvation. This included preaching, worship services, and small group studies that centered on biblical teachings and the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Additionally, we sought to create a supportive environment where individuals could grow in their faith and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives… This, in turn, led to a greater sense of unity and purpose within our Pentecostal community as we continued to minister together in the name of Jesus Christ”
(Bishop Michael & Sister Favour Onyebuchi-PauLAWCF Vice-Chairman, Nigeria).
“These courses, Oneness of God, Plan of Salvation (POS) and Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ are immensely impactful in expanding my understanding of the fundamental Christian doctrines… I believe the Oneness of God. And I have started to teach it. I spoke to my host in Ghana, and he embraced it. God will help us. In Africa they believe in trinity. I have seen the Truth, and I will keep on teaching the Oneness of God until everyone hears it. We need your prayers… We are teaching our Church workers the plan of Salvation. I believe we are going to see a great harvest of souls this year because every church worker must go through the course. Our Church has started to engage baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you for imparting such transformative wisdom and fostering a space for spiritual growth” (Pastor Oro Elijah IduduAWCF National Treasurer, Nigeria).
“The Oneness of God course, anchored in Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, John I:14 has equipped me to teach this crucial doctrine despite prevalent beliefs in the trinity in Africa. Your prayers are sought for the success of this endeavor. Emphasizing the Plan of Salvation (POS) has become a cornerstone in our teachings, extending to church workers and hospitals. This promises a rich harvest of souls.
The practice of Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ Act 2:38 has taken firm hold in our church… I appeal for your continued support and prayers as we advance these teachings for a profound impact on our congregation and beyond. Your guidance has been instrumental in shaping the trajectory of our ministry” (Sister Oro Ajiroghene Elizabeth, Nigeria).
