Where It All Begins

The Induction — your first 12 weeks.

Before any qualification programme begins, every new member completes the Induction. This is not an orientation paperwork exercise — it is a structured 12-week formation stage that discovers your giftings, aligns you with the governance framework, and places you in the right community and pathway.

Two pathways into Induction: the Reconditioning Programme for existing believers re-engaging with structured formation, and the Beginners Programme for those new to the Kingdom life. Both lead to the Community Programme — the Inner Court of the Induction — before placement into a permanent Sceptre Community.

How to Enrol

Four steps to begin your formation journey.

01
Complete Induction
All formation begins with the 12-week Induction. Find or join a Sceptre Community and begin the Reconditioning or Beginners programme.
02
Gifting Assessment
During Induction weeks 5–8, complete the gifting assessment. This maps your spiritual gifts, natural abilities, and vocational skills to a Kingdom Pathway and Service Order.
03
Placement & Enrolment
Your Induction Coordinator places you in a permanent Sceptre Community and recommends your Certificate enrolment. Access the Ichebo Platform to begin.
04
Progress Through the Arc
Each programme builds on the last. Advancement requires steward confirmation at each level — ensuring progression is tied to genuine formation, not just time served.
