RIT Courses

Church Administration - prepares the student to manage the local and regional church and all sectors. The student will learn how to prepare budgets, manage all aspects of the church, especially towards its human resources.

Who May Attend

All church members who wish to become ministers, teachers, deacons or other workers of the church may attend the Institute. Prospective ministers will be required to intern with an RCWM church for at least one year before he or she can be ordained or recognized as an ordained RCWM minister.

Courses

The institute offers a variety of courses in church-related social, scriptural, community-based theology, and church liturgy, towards becoming ministers, deacons and teachers of our churches. Twelve of such courses must be taken and passed, before participants receive diplomas, certificates, from the Institute.

Of the twelve, courses that participants must take for completing the course of study, five must be in religion and religious philosophy; two must be RCWM related; the other three courses are elective courses which have been chosen from other subjects as defined in the Institute’s catalog of courses.

Course credits and Certificates

Courses taken at the Institute are strictly non accredited or recognized by any other institutions and are meant to fulfill the requirements as set by the Board of Trustees of RCWM only, towards becoming ministers, leaders, teachers and other workers of our church.

Courses cover a broad spectrum of church creation and development, in relation to the saving of mankind, in this modern world.

At the completion of the Institute’s program of study, the institute issues a Diploma to the candidate in the field of study that the candidate undertook. This Diploma is fully recognized by all RCWM churches throughout the world. The individual is authorized to use this element, as part of the qualification to became an ordained minister of our church. At this point, such an individual becomes authorized by our Trustees to manage one of RCWM’s churches.

It is important that students and the public understand that the courses which are offer by RIT, can only be used in RCWM Churches and not in any other institution and that Diplomas would not be issued until candidates make complete payments for their courses of study.
