Course Descriptions:

Theology 101: This course is designed to give the student a biblically systematic and in-depth understanding of the great doctrines of Scripture. Topics will include: sin, salvation, the Trinity, the church, and much more.

OT Survey: The intention of an Old Testament survey class is to give a broad understanding of the message and importance of the Old Testament and to experience the excitement of knowing God through the study of His Word. A survey cannot fully examine the entirety of the Old Testament, but will be a useful tool in providing a basic but thorough coverage of the Old Testament and challenge you to take serious the investigation of God’s truth as revealed in the Old Testament.

Church History: Perhaps one of the most important courses for every Christian to take, Church History will give the student a solid understanding of the last 2000 years of the church. This class will highlight some of the defining moments in the history of the Christian Church including: the first century of the church, the Nicaean Council, the great schism, and the Protestant Reformation.

Evangelism/Apologetics: In a world where biblical truth is regularly challenged it is vital to be able to give a defense for the faith that we hold so dearly. This class is designed to equip every believer to not only defend the Christian faith but to lead opponents of Christianity to salvation.

Inductive Bible Study (IBS): This class is designed to teach a systematic and analytical approach to studying the Bible. It will require you to be a good observer as to what the Word contains and how to interpret those observations. Finally, we will learn how to apply these observations to our lives.

Biblical Self-Confrontation (BCF): The BCF course is designed to build upon biblical principles that will provide patterns for living a victorious and content life. Each lesson is designed to explain the meaning of specific biblical principles and to build them into your life and ministry through very practical homework assignments.

Ministry: In Ministry, you may be called to perform specific functions that are outside of your comfort zone. This class is designed and purposed to equip and prepare the ministry-minded to challenge themselves and to be trained for the ministry, better utilizing your God given gifts, skills and abilities in areas of family and ministry, communication, church planting, and learning how to deal with discouragement, depression, and failure.

The Life of Christ: This class is designed to give a thorough overview of the life of Jesus Christ on earth, with special attention to the developing emphasis and distinct purposes that prevailed during our Lord’s public ministry.

World Missions: Christ’s command to make disciples was not only to our city and our country but also to the whole world. Students will discover the message of God’s ‘missionary heart’ throughout Scripture while simultaneously developing a foundational understanding for world missions.
