“The greatest need we in Five-Fold leadership or in ministry today that we face is rethinking and retraining what Christ actually meant when He chose to use five (5) individuals to do the work of perfecting the saints in Kingdom Preparation which actually does go further than just equipping those of the leadership in the Five-Fold Ministry. There are those with other spiritual gifts found in the Nine-fruit of the Spirit that needs assistance developing their gifts given by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the source and the Holy Spirit is our guide to the truth for the building of Christ's Kingdom. This includes teaching the process of administrative leadership in the Household of Faith, the church, and the bride of Christ. We must prosper in our maturity of such. In order to mature to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ, we must learn to honor, support, and work together in a way that produces a powerful, anointed expression of Christ’s body in the earth.”

The Bible declares in Ephesians 4:11-16
that the gifts referred to by many today as the Five-Fold Ministry Ascension gifts or assignments, identified individually, and chosen by Christ, for the perfecting of the saints in His church, are ALIVE and at this point in time, still ministering. Those gifts are handed down to those that have been called to be an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor, or a teacher. They all will be doing the work of Christ for His Bride until He RETURNS.

You will continue to enjoy studying at home on your own yet with the guidance of a complete syllabus, that moved the student from one month to the next with a complete array of assignments for each month, but now you will have some additional assistance in doing such.
We imported this change to ensure you that you will receive most of your education from the Bible College which is the first and foremost source in our teaching.
With that said this biblical institution and Bible College are still affirming that we are diligently attempting to keep costs affordable.
We do this because we do not have expensive overhead costs, such as a building for the college. Past studies show that the maintenance of a large campus, staffing, dorms, etc., can drive up the cost of tuition by nearly 400%, while not increasing the quality of the education. We maintain a very skilled and elite Five-Fold Ministry & Administrative Staff that is streamlined and highly efficient. Although the degree program is still hands-on, it now as stated above includes a facilitator which each student will be assigned as they move through the programs. Our programs are monitored to maintain the greatest degree of excellence while remaining financially modest.
ARIZE promotes networking with other students and other churches to maintain a Ministerial Fellowship with one another. We are constantly on the move connecting with seasoned Five-Fold Ministry leaders, churches, and ordained ministers to maintain accuracy in the development of the ministry for Christ.

ARIZE
ARIZE Institute of the Five-Fold Ministry and Bible College is a Facilitated Driven Independent Study formulated To Equip & 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 initial 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 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 the 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.
AriZe hands-on, facilitator-driven, independent study offers degrees for the Associates, Bachelors & Masters. Your studies are individually captured for each monthly assignment - the month-to-month study of progression which houses instructions for the movement of each degree program. The student will receive after purchasing and paying their monthly fee/tuition (the syllabus study-via-email 1-3 days after payment for each month) to guide them through a successful experience in their development in achieving their degree of choice.
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 one-year program.
The Bachelor's Degree program consists of the initial elements required to move toward the Master's degree 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 (Biblical Degree). The candidate may proceed to the Bachelor's degree program, as sanctioned by a review procession by the Academic Officer. This is a 4-year program. (If you complete the Associate's Degree - Bachelor's takes only 3 years to complete).
Each School of Study in the Five-Fold Ministry has different books and different courses. (Discuss with your Dean the calling for your correct school of focus). No student will be allowed to take a higher degree course without having completed the lower level of study.
The Master's Degree, depending on the gifting that Christ has placed on our life, begins with a mentor who will direct you in the field internship of your calling. Other directions will be given through each gifting syllabus, which is directly instructed by your mentor. This is a two-year program.

God's Unique Pattern
God's Unique Pattern
Everything that our heavenly Father does is according to a pattern. We can see that on a grand scale in the wondrous beauty of Creation all around us; we can see it on a more personal level by considering the incredible complexity of the human body, from the operation of the circulatory system and the brain down to the sub-molecular level of individual strands of DNA.
Likewise, everything Yahweh does in Scripture is also according to a pattern. When He told Moses to build the tabernacle in the wilderness, He said, “See that you make it according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain” (Exod. 25:40). This wasn’t some vague outline but a very detailed “blueprint”. Moses built the tabernacle according to Yahweh’s very exacting specifications, and when he had finished it and everything was in place, that’s when “the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle” (Exod. 40:33-38).
Similarly, after his father David had given him the pattern of “all that he had by the Spirit” (1st Chron. 28:11-12), Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem. Again, it was when he had finished it and everything was in place that the glory of Yahweh filled it.
Today, Yahweh no longer dwells in temples made with hands. Instead, He dwells within His people as individuals and collectively within His ekklesia (“church”). Nevertheless, He still has a specific pattern by which His dwelling place – the ekklesia – must be built. What is that pattern? According to Scripture, it is what some have termed the “Five-Fold MINIStry”.
We’re told in Ephesians 4:8 that when Yahshua ascended to heaven, He gave “gifts” to humankind. A few verses later, those gifts are identified, along with their purpose:
“And He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, to the work of ministering, to the building up of the Messiah: till we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of Yahweh, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Messiah” (Eph. 4:11-13).
The “Five-Fold ministry” consists of 5 ministry gift offices: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. They were given collectively to the Body for the purpose of the perfecting of the saints. Are all of the saints perfected? Have we achieved the 'unity of the faith and reached the ‘stature of the fullness of the Messiah’? The obvious answer to these questions is ‘No’. Since the Body hasn’t become that ‘perfect Man’, then we obviously still need ALL of the 5-fold ministry gifts, including the apostle and prophet, functioning within the Body of the Messiah's house.
When we build His house according to His pattern – the pattern of the 5-fold ministry – then and only then will His glory truly be manifested in all of its fullness. Only then will we become God's glory on the earth, having prepared and readied ourselves to rule and reign with Him.
We ARE Kingdom Builders!
We at ARIZE Institute of the Five-Fold Ministry and Bible College recognize that we must build Yahweh’s house – the ekklesia – “according to the pattern” that He has given us. We fully embrace not just the concept but the reality of all of the 5-fold ministry gifts. We also recognize that, in order for the Body to become all that it is meant to be, each of us must take his or her place in the local assembly. We cannot fulfill our awesome purpose without men and women like you being trained and developed into the images of what Christ wants in His Kingdom. Eventually, those that are not following God's pattern will soon in these end times understand the purpose, and have the desire to be a living part of the restoration of Yahweh’s order.

“So then you are no more strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with saints, and of the household of Yahweh, being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, the Messiah Yahshua himself being the chief cornerstone.” (Eph. 2:19-20)
