Who Are We (Creare/OFE/OFI)?

A new dimension in the ministry – which includes the positioning of Creare Training Centre in the ministry.

About 22 years ago, in 1994, we started off as "MDK" – "Musiek, Drama en Kunsskool", where weekly classes were presented.

After approximately a year-and-a-half, Dance was added, and the full-time programme was launched.

Our Mission and Vision
- Disciple people for their function that they will fulfill in their community and working environment.
- Build character, knowledge and skills into their lives so that they can build quality in others.
- Train people in excellence so that they can progressively raise the standard of training for others.
- Activate the potential in people as nation builders.
- Plant facilities to train, reach and empower more communities.
- Reach the un-reached and underprivileged, in South Africa and abroad.

Creare Training Centre is a registered non-profit organization, NPO number: 031-065 NPO.
It is administrated by Our Father’s Home Church, but it is a separate entity to the church, sharing some of the same facilities. It is a community-based centre, focused on reaching the public. Creare Training Centre’s values are Christian-based; however, people of all races, genders, nationalities and cultures are encouraged to attend courses, training conferences and other programmes run by the centre. Although Creare Training Centre requires students who are part of the Full-Time Discipleship program to be Christian, Creare Training Centre does not discourage, discriminate against or segregate anyone with differing beliefs from attending classes at Creare Training Centre; they are respected as people in their own right.

A creative arts school for you.

Now, more than ever, is the time for the Church to understand the relevancy of the tools being used to express the Gospel. Globally, awareness is growing of the need for the Arts to be stewarded by the Church, so that the glory of divinely inspired “Art” goes to the Father and for the extension of His Kingdom. For too long we have not understood or taken up this responsibility, but, yes – the authority over the Arts is in us as the body of Christ and individually we can make a difference where we are...

Our Services

What we can do for you

The Creare Training Centre is a development centre that specializes in Bible studies, Christian arts, outreaches and mission work. It is a ministry under the supervision and guidance of Our Father’s Home church. It offers PART-TIME and FULL-TIME training.

Creare has 10 academies where people can attend classes in: Music, Drama, Dance, Art, Multimedia, Word Studies, Missions, Prophetic, Worship, and Skills training.

FULL TIME TRAINING

The FULL-TIME programme at Creare Training Centre is intended for people who would like to be trained in the Creare Academies for a specific period of time – they stay in Creare student houses and become part of the discipleship programme at Our Father’s Home Church. This programme is facilitated either as part of a “GAP YEAR” or specific academy studies with Bible-based ministry focuses. Those who enroll for this programme do so according to their choice based on their human rights as Christians to practice their faith.

PART TIME TRAINING

Some of the classes taught at Creare Training Centre are PART-TIME and are attended by people from many different beliefs (ethnic groups, religious and/or lifestyles). The syllabi taught by Creare Training Centre are all Bible-based. Students who attend these classes are not expected to change their beliefs, and encouraged to further their studies at Creare on a part-time basis and also attend Training Conferences, which run during the holidays.

TRAINING CONFERENCE

The Creare Training Conferences are designed to give concentrated training in fields of the Arts, Skills, and Ministry focuses, from each of the Creare Academies, over a period of 1-3 weeks. They are normally held at the Creare Training Centre in Bloemfontein, South Africa. These conferences have one and two weeks long courses that run in specific sessions throughout the day each week. They are suited for people who are not able to attend Creare classes regularly, and want to experience the "holiday school". By coming to a Training Conference is possible to attend up to four courses during the week as well a weekend course for maximum impartation! These Training Conferences run predominantly during South African school holidays so that students at schools and tertiary institutions are able to attend. Classes are also run in evening sessions so that those whose work hours prevent them from attending may be able to do so.
