At SooFaith School of Ministry & Leadership, we operate on a quarter system with four seasonal terms: Fall, Winter, Spring, and we are out for Summer. Each term lasts approximately 10 to 12 weeks, or about three months.

Tuesday Class Schedule
Instructor: Dr. Mel Silas
First Session: 6:00PM – 7:00PM
The Book of Titus
We study the Book of Titus because it teaches us how to build strong, healthy, Christ-centered churches. Titus provides practical instruction on godly leadership, sound doctrine, spiritual maturity, and Christian character. Paul shows how the Gospel transforms daily living and equips believers to live with integrity and purpose. This book strengthens leaders, disciples, and the entire church body.
Book: The Bible
Break: 7:00PM – 7:15PM
Second Session: 7:15PM – 8:15PM
Homiletics
We study Homiletics to learn how to rightly handle, interpret, and communicate the Word of God with clarity, accuracy, and power. Homiletics trains ministers and teachers to prepare biblical messages, structure sermons, and deliver God’s truth in a way that impacts lives. It helps students grow in confidence, discipline, and anointing as they carry out their calling to preach and teach.

Friday Class Schedule
Instructor: Pastor Beverly Silas
First Session: 6:00PM – 7:00PM
Our Identity in Christ
Our Identity in Christ is a foundational truth every leader must understand before they can lead others. Leadership does not begin with skills, titles, or positions. Leadership begins with identity. When leaders know who they are in Christ, they lead with confidence, clarity, humility, and integrity.
Many leaders struggle not because of ability, but because of insecurity, fear, comparison, or confusion about their calling. Understanding your identity in Christ settles your heart, strengthens your character, and anchors your purpose. It protects you from burnout, pride, people-pleasing, and spiritual attack.

Break: 7:00PM – 7:15PM
Instructor: Dr. Mel Silas
Second Session: 7:15PM – 8:15PM
The Theology of the Book of Jude
The Theology of the Book of Jude examines one of the shortest yet most urgent and powerful books in the New Testament. Though it contains only 25 verses, Jude presents a message that is theologically rich, spiritually confrontational, and deeply relevant for the church today.
