The Coptic Fellowship International is divided into four principal orders:

World Service Order 

Level 1 - World Service Order Training
INSTRUCTORS:  John Davis, Pam Hemmes & Kire Wierda

World Service Order Leadership Training is a 4-weekend commitment to growth, development and finding your personal path of service.  WSO has two objectives:

 

1.    How to create a better you, a better community and a better world.

2.    Teaches practical principles of leadership. Preparing individuals to expand their level of service.

 

Participants will find within themselves their personal role of service for their group and community.  Many find their role as world servers in WSO; for others, it is also the first level of training necessary to move into Coptic Teacher Training.  Information on this course will be available at the Conference.

Coptic Teacher Training 

Level 2 - Coptic Teacher Training

INSTRUCTORS:  Janis Campbell, Kathy Wolfe & Steve Krejcik

 

Having completed WSO, candidates may elect to move into Coptic Teacher Training.  The basic objective of Teacher Training is to learn about the Coptic Fellowship.  Teacher candidates are taught the ancient history of the Coptics and to embrace the modern tenets and beliefs of the Coptics.  Balanced living takes self discipline, which we will all learn along the way.  A second objective of the year is to move into our hearts.  In an atmosphere of mutual trust, friendship, respect and love, we will share our inner and outer truth together.

 

Our list of Subjects to be covered includes:

1.  History of the Coptics

2.  Advanced metaphysical theory

3.  Advanced meditation techniques

4.  Subconscious reprogramming techniques

5.  Publicity – How to create a promotional brochure and use the media to attract people to events.

Coptic Self-Mastery 

Level 3 – Self Mastery Training

INSTRUCTORS:  Jim Campbell, Barbara Huttinga, Bob Huttinga

 

Self-Mastery Training is a course to be attended after Coptic Teacher Training.  It is designed to allow participants to put into practice Coptic Self-Mastery as presented by Master Hamid Bey.

 

All true development must come from within. To grow in any aspect one must recognize his/her own responsibility in promoting personal growth. 

 

We all possess hidden and secret powers; powers of mind, body and spirit.  We are not consciously aware of these powers, and rarely use them.  In Self-Mastery training we will learn, step by step, what powers we need to develop and exactly how to develop them. 

 

This will include daily practice of:

  • Breathing Exercises
  • Concentration
  • Meditation
  • Proper Nutrition
  • Being aware of how we treat others and ourselves
  • Learning to see, hear and respond as a Master
  • Being aware of how our mind and our thoughts impact our "true" selves, and others.

We will learn to develop and cultivate these powers and use them in our daily lives to ensure healthier bodies, stronger minds, greater poise, peace, happiness and ultimate success.

Those who desire Ministerial Training have successfully completed WSO, Teacher Training, and the Self Mastery Program.  Coptic Ministers represent the Light Ministry of Coptic Fellowship International.  The symbol associated with the Light Ministry is the Ankh.  The Ankh in ancient Egyptian times was known as the “key of life.”  Ministerial candidates learn techniques of successful living.  They learn how to perform the services of an Ordained Minister which include Worship Services, Weddings, Funerals, and Baptisms.  Minister Training teaches spiritual counseling, tools to facilitate seminars, trains candidates how to run their own unique Centers and develop their individual ministry.  In addition, they will have opportunities to further develop their speaking, leadership and organizational skills.
