Artios\u00a0Magazine (pronouced AR-tee-oss) is a publication of Artios Christian College<\/a>,\u00a0an online-based college that exists to serve Christ and His Body by\u00a0equipping leaders for a “vibrant 21st century Church<\/a>“.<\/p>\n Agreeing with the\u00a0observation that “leadership is influence<\/a>“, and believing that all Christians have a natural realm of influence, our mission is to partner with you in your natural realm of influence\u00a0by connecting you with resources that equip you to more\u00a0effectively invite people to experience\u00a0the Kingdom of God<\/a>.<\/p>\n Artios<\/em> is the Greek word that conveys that someone or thing is “fitted” for a task. It is the root word for the word translated “equipping” in Ephesian 4:12’s vision of “the equipping<\/a> of the saints for the work of service, to the\u00a0building up of the body of Christ.” Our philosophy is that leaders become more effective in influencing the people around them as they are\u00a0equipped through a three-tiered model of 1) biblical and theological foundations, 2) personal restoration, and 3) training in practical ministry and leadership skills.[ref]These are laid out by Greg Ogden in Unfinished Business: Returning the Ministry to the People of God<\/a>\u00a0.<\/em>[\/ref]<\/p>\n
