THEOLOGY & MINISTRYThe Certificate III in Theology and Ministry course gives a foundation for growing in discipleship, sharing in lay leadership and serving in the community. It assists with developing and opening doors to wisdom and insight into the word of God and with the opportunity to fellowship with other brothers & sisters throughout the nation. There is also the opportunity to learn and pass on much needed knowledge to assist with the growth in both a community and individual lives.

The Certificate IV in Theology & Ministry program is a continuous development of foundation in discipleship, leadership and community service, including a preparation for the Diploma level.

The Diploma in Theology & Ministry program is the first step in higher level studies and helps to prepare students for committed leadership roles. (Please note churches have their own requirements for appointments and ordination.)Employment may include: Priest/Minister; Pastoral Worker; Support Youth Worker; Community Resource Centre worker; Organisation Committee Member; Church Leader; Elder; Council Member; Lay Minister; Teacher Assistant in religious education

STUDY OPTIONSResidential study is offered in 2-week Blocks in Cairns. However studies can be conducted to suit communities and held in regional centres or communities at the discretion of the College Principal. Study by distance education with a local tutor is also required. Options for study are: 1. Part-time is a 12 months program – up to 4 Blocks a year plus home base studies. 2. Self paced study – home base study only

The intended purpose of our theology courses is to provide participants with a range of knowledge, skills and generic and specific competencies to support them in gaining employment in theology. This can be working under the guidance of other theologians.

Growing interest in the course from communities throughout Australia is evidenced by the increase in learner participation in the three years. Client groups include remote, urban and town centres from many various denominations that have sponsored learners from remote, urban and town centres.

Wontulp-Bi-Buya College has offered courses in Queensland over a period of 35 years, Clergy and other community members who are associated with Indigenous people have sponsored students and found the course to be suitable to foster personal development, awareness of community issues and leadership qualities that contribute to processes that build an improved quality of life in their communities.

The courses aim to provide foundation for leadership and work within Indigenous communities with a balance of studies and practice in the areas of: Biblical Studies, Theological Studies, Personal and Community Development and Ministry Education.

The course design is based on participatory action learning methods and is designed in short units to accommodate Indigenous leaning patterns including shared learning and an holistic approach that connects learning with spiritual, social and practical aspects of daily life. We believe that our holistic approach develops people with confidence to undertake informed leadership in their communities, whether through employment or as catalysts for change within community life in general.

The course is also dedicated in providing culturally appropriate training for Indigenous members of the community to assist in the changing patterns of alcohol and other addictions and the foundation in analysing the development of enterprises in communities.

Indigenous Mental Health (Suicide Prevention)

The Indigenous Mental Health program is designed for community leaders/workers and young people who will be trained in community services and health service industry skills, which will empower participants to identify local community solutions and develop suicide prevention strategies. This course was established to support people to become counsellors, mental health workers or suicide prevention educators.

Mental health and suicide issues have increased in Indigenous communities over the last thirty years and this has had a very negative effect on all Indigenous people and our communities. Suicide and self-harm also affects both the employer and employees through the loss of work and the loss of skills in the industry. This affects both the workers and employers in the workplace, due to carrying a lot of personal grief, hurt and pain from suicide and mental health issues.

Currently there are a very few people in Indigenous communities with the professional skills to deal with mental health issues and suicide. Professional people external to the community have to be brought in once or twice a week and they may lack the cultural appropriate skills to deal with community issues. This course will contribute greatly to professional skills development of Indigenous youth and community leaders in the community services and health industry through empowering and equipping community members to deal with mental health and suicide issues in a culturally sensitive professional manner.

Students will develop a community-wide suicide early identification and prevention strategy in consultation with community members, traditional Owners, Elders and complementary agencies/initiatives. Upon completion of both courses graduates will be able to act as role models within their communities and strengthen action, advocacy and apply for employment opportunities in the following areas and employment:

• Mental health Liaison Officer • Health Worker Assistant• Community Policy Advisor for Government Organisations• Community advocacy member• Support youth worker• Organisation committee member

2016 Workshops (Brief Overview)Ministry & Career Pathway PlanningOur Ministry & Career Pathway was created to develop and assist students and church members with a step-by-step process in identifying the purpose and plans that has been established in the hearts of men. By participating in this session members will be encouraged to identify passions as well as past experiences to develop simplified targets and goals that will propel them into their desired destination. Throughout our life we get so bounded into past situations that have created barriers and many occasions have closed our eyes to where we are meant to be. Our Pathway Planning is a tool to open up the hidden desires of your heart as well as utilising your experiences and life skills to build a treasure of knowledge that will enhance your gifts to assist with helping others. We are not all called to be, Church Leaders, Pastors and other positions in the churches, the majority are called to work within the market place, where the lost are. You need to ask yourself the question!! Are you unhappy where you are!!! Well this could result in not being in the right place at the right time. One of our mottos in our planning is “THE ONLY WAY TO DO GOOD WORK IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO”. We as individuals are responsible for our own happiness, so lets take the first step together in the present to make positive changes for the future.

The Journey to healingThe Journey to Healing was established to assist communities to recognize social needs and their solutions. Our qualified Indigenous staff will walk you through a process of transformation, pinpointing gaps within your community as well as assisting participants in finding ways to improve and implement positive Community Development & Change. Organisations wishing to run the course are encouraged to obtain funding which will assist with course delivery and student needs. An experienced lecturer will deliver the course in your community and at the discretion of the organisation. This is negotiated prior to the course delivery.

Gospel & CultureDue to a large number of enquires from church members on how to relate to First Nations People and the biblical principles through past stories and concepts, we have decided to open this unit up to non Indigenous church groups to give a better understanding of past beliefs and practices and how First People believed they walked with the living God. “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are spiritual people, there will always be that connection to the land, sea and air…, we all belong to the one and only God—through Jesus Christ, he is called many names by different clans, tribes and islands” and we want to share the Gospel within our culture with you! So if you are interested and wish to develop a better understanding this workshop is for YOU!

Cutural Awareness “The Where From to the Here Now”Our cultural awareness workshop is designed to equip people with the understanding of First Nations Peoples of this land ,on “The Where From to the Here Now”. Looking at the past experiences and the continuous development of change in customs and traditions making First Nations Peoples who we are today. The difference in cultures globally can create all types of problems especially if there is the lack of understanding, however a little awareness can create a world of difference. So lets strive to make a change today.Is it your wish or a requirement to work with or along side a First Nations person or people but find it difficult due to barriers in communication? Well let us help you!! Through this journey of change and enlightenment, our staff will give you the opportunity for a greater insight to the “Here Now and on to the Future”of our First Nations People. So call our office today and book in your session for 2016. Lets assist with breaking down the barriers for a better future!!
