The "A" stands for (ARIZE), the motif of the Bible school. It simply tells our story as we assist, elevate, and train those who have been called into the Five-Fold Ministry by Jesus Christ.
Additionally, the reason why the institution's name is spelled with a "Z" instead of an "S" which the founder felt that it was not robbery to put her initial - putting a stamp on the name, which favor the founder's personal touch.
OUR
STORY
ARIZE Institute of the Five-Fold Ministry and Bible College is a Facilitated Driven Independent Study formulated To Equip and mature the Individual chosen in the gifting offices as seen in Ephesians 4:11-16.
Located in Mebane, North Carolina, amid Bishop Apostle Dr. Zella Berry Case's office, a vision was given to her by Christ more than 20 years ago as she entered the seminary at Apex School of Theology, which was located during that time in Durham, North Carolina. " This vision came clearer throughout every year I spent preparing for this assignment, planting a school that would train those in the Five-Fold Ministry gifting."
When the vision was initially given, (The Reverend Zella Berry Case) was residing in one of the most influential cities in North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the home of the Tarheels of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ARIZE was birth in the heart, mind, and soul of Reverend Case. Although the school was not referenced as ARIZE but was known as MOP, Ministry of Preparation, she became committed to doing this assignment given by Christ, i.e., (of one day fully opening up an institution that would lean towards the training of those in the Five-Fold Ministry and beyond).
Progressing in preparation and growth for the school, ARIZE has gone beyond just implementing Biblical principles but is now creating a school to perfect and train those chosen by Christ in the giftings of the apostle, the prophet, the evangelist, the pastor, and the teacher, all of which are for the perfecting of the saints of Christ.
All of the schools of the Five-Fold Ministry, i.e., that of the apostle, prophet/tess, evangelist, pastor, and teacher, are fashioned with God-given mandates to shift the student, the minister, and the Believer into the deepest part of their relationship and calling in Jesus Christ. This is accomplished through Biblical teaching and foundational applications in ministry and by equipping each student to hear the Voice Of God and live an active lifestyle of communication with the Holy Spirit.
The degree studies began with an entry exam to qualify for each degree. The Associate's Degree assists the student in discovering the teachings in the Bible, their Five-Fold Ministry foundation, the integrity of ministry, and the development of their spiritual maturity in Christ. This is a two-year program.
The Bachelor's Degree is a 4-year program. The training and development are offered after completing the Associate's study in the Five-Fold Ministry or already holding a degree in an Associate's, i.e., (Biblical Degree). The candidate may proceed to the Bachelor's degree program, as sanctioned by a review process of the Academic Officer.
