Rooted in Scripture.
Ready for Ministry.

Hatfield Ministry School is designed for anyone, young and old, who is called to ministry—aspiring or current pastors, leaders, and those serving bi- vocationally.

About the Program

The Hatfield Ministry School is a hybrid training program built on three pillars:

Academic Preparation (Heads), Personal Development (Hearts), and Practical Ministry (Hands).

Key Features:

Our focus is on Whole-Life Discipleship, equipping you to lead and live your faith in every sphere of life, without a sacred-secular divide.

While students will receive solid biblical and theological teaching, this qualification falls under the Trades Council (QCTO), so all training is focused on becoming competent in actual ministry work.

Godly character development is a high value at HMS. Students engage in discipleship and personal restoration through courses, one-on-one connections, and Spiritual Formation practices. The aim of these practices is Christlikeness.

Delivery: Students can study at Hatfield (full-time or part-time) or remain in their local church. Students study online and do their practicals in their local church. We value building strategic training partnerships with local churches.

Equipping the Next Generation

Our Vision

We are committed to training skilled, experienced, and Godly Christian religious practitioners to become:

Competent Bible teachers who can interpret the Word of God faithfully.
Effective contextual preachers and communicators.
Pastors who serve a church community with integrity, compassion, and skill.
Competent pastoral counsellors.
Wise leaders and administrators of churches.
Men and women of Godly character grounded in a Charismatic evangelical theology.

The Future of Our Training

We are excited about the future! As soon as we receive approval for our NQF 7 qualification and institutional accreditation, we plan to transition to offering an accredited Hatfield degree-level qualification in Practical Christian Ministry. This will provide our students with an accredited tertiary qualification.

Flexible Learning

Our hybrid learning model provides flexibility to fit your life:

Live Classes: Join our classes in-person or stream them live online.

Asynchronous Learning: All live classes are recorded and available for you to watch at your convenience.

We currently offer an accredited NQF 5 qualification - an Occupational Certificate in Practical Pastoral Ministry, in partnership with EXCEL Theological Training Academy.
