Bookshop
GWC has an Academic Bookshop on campus, operated by Christian Book
Discounters, which stocks all the required textbooks as well as a wide range of
supplementary books at discounted prices. The bookshop aims to supply
students with the right books at the best possible prices. If you would like a list
of required textbooks, please phone or e-mail the bookshop manager at
bookshop@gwc.ac.za specifying which course/s you will be studying.
Approximate prices will be e-mailed to you.
Practical Training
Each student is given an appointment at one of the local churches to assist the
church and for practical training experience. In addition, each year at the end
of first semester, all students are assigned to a “Ministry Week” team as part
of the training at GWC. These teams go to work in various churches in South
Africa and beyond, with the students living in the local communities and
engaging in various forms of ministry. “Ministry Week” is a highlight of the
calendar and has been a life-changing experience for many of the students.
Language School
At GWC we have found that the best approach to learning the Biblical
languages is to start with a dedicated, intensive ten day “Summer School” at
the start of the academic year. Lectures are held for the full day during this
period.
