Foundations Modules

Nine Modules That Build Stronger Leaders

Foundations brings together biblical theology, ministry practice, leadership development, and church health to help students grow in wisdom and effectiveness.

The Life, Ministry, and Uniqueness of Jesus

This module presents the issues Jesus faced, the teachings He gave, and the life He lived, while portraying His uniqueness as both human and divine. Students deepen their understanding of Christ and what He came to accomplish.

Introduction to the New Testament

This course follows the Trinity’s redemptive story from the Gospels to Revelation, tracing the life, death, resurrection, and ongoing work of Jesus Christ through the Church in Acts and beyond.

Introduction to the Old Testament

This module gives a broad survey of the Old Testament with emphasis on the covenants, key individuals, redemption, God’s plan of salvation, and His promise to restore all things.

Biblical Interpretation

Students learn basic principles and practices for studying and applying Scripture, including genre, structure, narrative, context, and how to read both the big picture and the details faithfully.

Preaching So That People Encounter God

This course trains students to prepare and deliver messages with clarity, accuracy, application, and impact so that people genuinely encounter God through His Word.

Solid Doctrine: Telling the Truth in Love

This module introduces core Christian doctrines and helps students understand truth not only in theory, but in practical ways that shape life, ministry, and witness.

Healthy Church

This course explores the biblical design of the church and helps students apply God’s purposes for His people in their own local church context.

Biblical Leadership

This module examines Jesus’ model of leadership and the lives of other biblical leaders to explore both the character and skills that shape excellent, godly leadership.

The Church, the Gospel, and Community Transformation

Students explore how the church can faithfully engage both evangelism and social responsibility, and how theology translates into practical ministry that serves local communities.

Looking Ahead

A Leadership Pathway For The Future

Foundations is the starting point, but it is not the finish line. Global Action is building a broader pathway for leadership development that helps leaders grow over time through Foundations, Formation, and Facilitation.

What makes this approach unique is that it does not stop with content delivery. It is designed to move leaders from biblical grounding, to deeper spiritual and ministry formation, to multiplication through leaders who are equipped to train others in their own communities.

Step 1

Foundations

Foundations gives leaders a strong base in biblical truth, theology, leadership, and ministry practice. It is accessible, practical, and designed for those actively serving in the church.

Step 2

Formation

Formation helps leaders grow more deeply in character, competency, and ministry effectiveness over time. Global Action has already piloted Formation, offering a glimpse of how this next stage can support leaders beyond introductory training and into sustained growth.

Step 3

Facilitation

Facilitation is the future stage that prepares leaders to train and mentor others. This is where the pathway begins to multiply, helping local leaders strengthen churches and expand leadership development in their own contexts.

Why This Is Different

More Than A Course

Global Action is not simply offering a class. It is building a pathway that can grow with a leader over time.

Instead of stopping after one program, the vision is to equip leaders at multiple stages: first with biblical grounding, then with deeper formation, and eventually with the ability to facilitate and multiply training for others. This creates the possibility of long-term, locally rooted, sustainable impact.

Help Multiply The Impact

Your generosity helps advance this three-part pathway of Foundations, Formation, and Facilitation so more leaders can be equipped, more churches can be strengthened, and the impact can multiply for generations.
