Veritas College International offers three different kinds of programs that cover different levels of needs in ministry training. Deo Gloria Community Church Rockingham has trained facilitators that is equipped to offer Foundational training to church members, which includes 4 modules.

​

​The form of the four modules contain the following characteristics:

​

• It emphasises the development of the whole person by bringing the Bible and the practical world together. With a strong emphasis on teaching skills to the participants, Veritas offers the training on different levels according to the needs of the participants.

• It is run by churches in collaboration with Veritas College that provides the curriculum and all materials. Veritas trains all facilitators.

• It seeks to integrate the different theological disciplines through the practice of interactive theology. For example, students cover a particular subject by interpreting the Bible. They then apply the biblical answers to the individual and society in their specific context. They then work out how to effectively communicate these answers to others.
