Older Adults, Caregivers & Ministers: For Christians who want to age gracefully and finish well, do they know what it takes and how can they do so?
Ageing Gracefully, Finishing Well (Onsite)
EF534, 3 Credits
Thursdays, 7.00pm – 9.30 pm
The desire to finish well or finish strong and age gracefully is something most older adults long for. But, do we know what it takes and how we can do so? This relevant and pertinent course will give the core biblical principles and sound psychological insights to ensure that we live our lives to the fullest (amid the challenges), live a life of integrity (instead of despair) and leave a legacy of faith, love and hope.

Strategic Leadership in Church Operations – Workshop by 4Twelve Academy
Would you like to be a more biblically strategic and operationally competent church layleader, elder or pastor in an increasingly complex environment?
In today’s Christianity where church leaders are expected to be effective in managing one’s church in the dynamic marketplace, it certainly requires one to not only have spiritual depth in the Word, but also a strategic and operational clarity, organisational competence, and cultural intelligence in church management to operate in a complex operating environment.
The advent of AI and technology, the growth of a more educated populace and congregation; whose lives and living are shaped and impacted by digital disruptions, economic pressures, generational shifts, and pluralistic values — a need had arisen where church leaders of the future are expected not only to acquire organisational management ability, but also critical people skills to complement the governance of churches, biblical pastoral shepherding of God’s people; thereby ensuring a continual and sustainable church mission anchored in Christ. Learn how to strengthen your leadership competency at the following 4Twelve Academy introductory workshop:
9 May 2026, Saturday, 9.30 AM – 12.30 PM.
East Asia School of Theology, 118 Joo Chiat Road, S 427407.
Instructor: Mr Tan Ban Thong

The Skilled Helper – Workshop by 4Twelve Academy
Would you like to be a more compassionate, effective, and skilled people-helper in your life and ministry?
The call to compassion and to care for others is one most Christians endorse. And many have a strong desire or are inclined to do so by virtue of their personality and passion. You enjoy touching others’ lives and want to give back to the community.
The needs of today’s world with its manifold mental health issues and concerns have also deepened this need for us to be people-helpers. The question then is how? How can we be compassionate as well as effective helpers? Answers to these and more are found at The Skilled Helper workshop viz
6 April 2026, Monday, 7.00 – 9.00 PM.
