Roepersfontein Ministries Seminary
Roepersfontein Seminary is a dynamic and rapidly growing Bible School. Our unique Word-based Biblical training is a simple way to study and a positive step towards spiritual growth.
Weekly Classes and Distance Learning
Classes are presented once a week at our different campuses. Distance education is accommodated via e-mail, WhatsApp and telephone calls. Ad-hoc visits to mentors and lecturers are organised as needed to ensure success.
Our vision and mission
Every student and lecturer equipped, trained, developed and edified from the Holy Scriptures, in the knowledge of the Son of God, to a fully mature disciple and spiritual leader to the extent of the full stature of Christ.
CLT COURSES
Our Certificates and Diplomas are based on the CLT (Calvary Life Tutors) Curriculum, which is especially designed to take you from spiritual immaturity to maturity and to give you full assurance in your walk with God.
Each year is divided into several modules. Each module, with a textbook that contains the material for various lectures and a workbook that students must work through. Workbooks are submitted for examination and marks on the specific module. Examination papers can also be presented for each module, if necessary. In addition, students receive one or two assignments to complete each year. After each year, the student receives a Certificate and after completing three years, a Diploma.
