THE BREAKDOWN
1) Placement and Leadership Coaching
As a part of your Academy experience, we will give you a placement for you to play your part in Oceans Church. This placement will come with intentional leadership coaching to help you succeed in your role. As well as a placement, there will also be smaller tasks for you to carry out according to where the need is in the church.
2) Academy Sessions
Academy Sessions are the secret-sauce of the whole program. Sessions are weekly gatherings we have with worship, encouragements, discussions and talks. Academy Sessions provide indepth training for ministry from a number of pastors and leaders inside and outside of Oceans. As well as this, Academy Sessions will equip you to be a carrier of culture in Oceans Church. We have been refining and developing our content for 3 years and we’re excited for the new additions we’re adding to 2023
3) Serving
A key component of Oceans Academy is the opportunity to have hands-on ministry experience. Whilst the majority of your placement may be centred around a specific area, we see our students as culture builders for Oceans. This means that you will play an active role leading in Sunday services, Dinner Parties and other church events including Welcome Parties and Energise.
4) Certificate of Ministry and Discipleship
We partner with Alphacrucis University College to provide our students with accredited education. The Certificate of Ministry and Discipleship through the Oceans LCC trains you in the skills you need to lead a ministry team and will take your leadership to the next level. You’ll will also be taught online by some of the best leaders, pastors and theologians in our country.
HEAR FROM THE ALUMNI
“Oceans Academy really is a year of fast tracked spiritual growth, if you are new to following Christ or have a desire to go deeper with Him I would thoroughly encourage giving a year to God through Academy!”
- AIDEN, OCEANS PERTH (2023)
“If you want to grow in your capacity and understanding of leaderships, as well as seek God’s kingdom first in a very practical way, then Oceans Academy is for you. I would highly recommend giving it a go.”
