Church of God Mission Academy

Disciplined Bible Study

Confidence to rightly divide the Word of truth and be approved of God. So that you can fulfill your purpose and replicate yourself by going forth and making disciples.

OUR PURPOSE APPROACH

Welcome to COGMA – A Ministry Teaching Resource

The Church of God Ministry Academy (COGMA) was founded as a centralised teaching platform dedicated to equipping and educating individuals across a wide range of ages, cultures, religious backgrounds, and levels of formal education. It operates as the outreach ministry of the Church of God in Caloundra, Queensland, Australia.

A Christ-Centred Mission

While COGMA is a ministry extension of the Church of God in Caloundra, it does not aim to build or plant churches or congregations. Its singular focus is to direct individuals to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to encourage deep engagement with His Word.

A Proven Self-Directed Study Model

COGMA offers its teaching resources in the form of downloadable workbooks available directly through this website. These structured resources support a self-paced learning model that has consistently proven more effective than conventional classroom teaching—especially for adult learners.

By shifting responsibility for learning onto the student, COGMA promotes personal accountability and deeper spiritual growth. This flexible approach allows learners to study at their own pace while engaging with meaningful, scripture-based content.

Rooted in Biblical Mandate

COGMA’s teaching philosophy is anchored in the apostolic instruction found in 2 Timothy 2:2:

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

This verse reflects the core of COGMA’s mission: to train faithful individuals who are capable of teaching others, thereby continuing the cycle of discipleship and spiritual maturity.

Our Mission

At COGMA (Church of God Ministry Academy), our mission is to equip every student with the tools, confidence, and spiritual discernment to study the Word of God and receive revelation directly from God. We are dedicated to fostering self-directed learning grounded in biblical truth.

A Commitment to Biblical Teaching

We are committed to faithfully preaching and teaching the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ—free from denominational bias or influence. Our focus is on delivering the  gospel with integrity, guided solely by Scripture.

In accordance with the instruction found in 2 Timothy 2:2 (KJV):

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

We strive to entrust this knowledge to faithful individuals who are capable and willing to pass it on to others, continuing the cycle of discipleship.

Aligned with the Great Commission

This mission aligns with Jesus’ command to His disciples throughout the Gospel Day—to go and make disciples of all nations. At COGMA, we take this directive seriously, ensuring that our teaching not only informs but also empowers believers to teach and disciple others.

Our Philosophy

Philosophy is the framework of thought that shapes our actions and decisions. It acts as the guiding wind that sets the course of our journey, shaped by our ethical values and moral convictions.

At COGMA, our philosophy is founded on truth, love, and justice—all expressed through compassion and understanding. These core principles inform not only how we teach but also how we relate to our students and those we serve in ministry.

We remain deeply connected to our roots, recognising that our beginnings shape our approach. This humility enables us to walk alongside our students with empathy, finding common ground and fostering mutual respect.

If our guiding philosophy could be expressed in a single line, it would be:

The Study Course

The Church of God Mission Academy (COGMA), based in Caloundra, Australia, offers a structured Certificate program in biblical studies, delivered in two progressive stages: the Silver Certificate and the Gold Certificate.

The study course is offered free of charge, including the Workbooks and Assignments

Silver Certificate (Modules 1–12)

The Silver Certificate is awarded upon successful completion of Modules 1 through 12, including all related assignments. These foundational modules focus on establishing solid study principles and guiding students to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, students are encouraged to seek revelation and truth directly from the Word of God.

A key objective of this stage is to empower students to study the Scriptures independently—free from denominational or sectarian interpretations—following the example of the Bereans in the Book of Acts, who diligently examined the Scriptures for themselves.

Gold Certificate (Advanced Modules)

The Gold Certificate is awarded upon completion of the remaining modules and assignments, which build upon the foundations laid in the Silver level. These advanced modules explore deeper aspects of biblical doctrine, the Book of Revelation, and the biblical mandate to make disciples.

As students progress through this stage, they are encouraged to take on mentorship roles, applying what they have learned to support and guide others. This reflects COGMA’s commitment to fostering a cycle of discipleship, where learners become teachers and leaders in their own right.

This second stage of the course reflects the biblical beliefs held by the Church of God in Caloundra, while remaining open and accessible to all sincere students of Scripture.

A Self-Directed Learning Approach

COGMA’s educational model is based on self-paced learning through self-assessment Workbooks, aligning with international educational standards where appropriate. This approach encourages students to take personal responsibility for their learning, promoting deep understanding and practical application of biblical knowledge.

Teaching Philosophy

Consistent with 2 Timothy 2:2 (KJV):

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

COGMA’s teaching philosophy prioritises inspiration over indoctrination. Students are taught to understand not only what they believe, but more importantly, why they believe it. This process leads to the internalisation of biblical truth and its expression in daily life.

The course structure and philosophy are exemplified in the journey of Brother Gil, whose testimony highlights the personal transformation possible through diligent study of God’s Word.

Course Structure and Topics

The COGMA Certificate Course comprises approximately twenty modules, designed to progressively build a thorough understanding of the Bible and the life of Christian discipleship. These modules are divided into foundational and advanced levels, guiding students from essential study principles to deeper insights into Scripture.

GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES: ASSESSMENTS

Assignment Evaluation and Progression

When a student submits a Workbook assignment or Module test, COGMA evaluates the responses to determine whether the student has demonstrated mastery of the material.

If the assignment or module test is correct and complete, the student will be notified and permitted to proceed to the next Workbook or next module.

If the Workbook assignment or Module test is incomplete or contains incorrect answers, the student will be instructed to make the necessary corrections and resubmit their work.

Correction Procedures

Workbook Assignment Corrections

If students are required to make corrections, their Assignment Answer Form will be returned to them with an attached Assessment and Correction Form.

This is an online process, and the student will receive a link, similar to how they receive their Workbook assignments. Once the corrections have been completed, the Assignment Answer Form and Correction Form must be resubmitted together.

Each correction must include:

  • The Workbook page number.
  • The sentence from that page which the student used to make their correction.

If a student believes their answer has been marked incorrectly, they should provide their reason in the comment section of the Correction Form.

Module Test Corrections

If students are required to make corrections, their Module Answer Form will be returned to them with an attached Assessment and Correction Form.

This is an online process, and the student will receive a link, similar to how they receive their Module Test assignments. Once the corrections have been completed, the Module Answer Form and Correction Form must be resubmitted together.

Each correction must include:

  • The reason for the correction
  • No Workbook page numbers are required with corrections; however, it is advised to reference the applicable Workbook.

If a student believes their answer has been marked incorrectly, they should provide their reason in the comment section of the Correction Form.

COGMA will not accept any other form of submission, as the study program is conducted entirely online.

Expectation of Mastery

The expectation for every student is to achieve mastery in their studies.

Students must not proceed to the next Workbook until this level of mastery is reached. This means they must:

Wait for assessment results

Make all required corrections

Receive formal confirmation from COGMA before continuing

This process ensures complete understanding and the correct application of biblical principles before advancing through the course.

If you encounter any issues or have questions about the submission process, please contact us through the COGMA website. We’re here to support you.

Open Enrolment

The enrolment process with COGMA is straightforward. A student is automatically enrolled after they complete the first lesson, which is  “Why Study“, and successfully finish the associated assignment. Following this, the student receives a “student identification number”.

Everybody is welcome regardless of beliefs, church membership or even non-beliefs.

COGMA is not building churches or seeking members.

If additional information is needed, a representative from COGMA will get in touch with the student.

COGMA is the best Bible school that has taught me the right methods and principles for studying God’s word. It has helped me understand God’s word more deeply and apply it to do God’s will.

Charles (Uganda)

I study with COGMA because I need to be equipped with Bible knowledge and study tools that I cannot find in our churches today. I want to become a servant of God, not a servant of a person, like many pastors today. That is why I have been studying with COGMA since the day I first found out about it, and I continue to study.
