Courses Of Study
We currently offer two main courses of study; one for personal enrichment, the other for pursuing an overall deeper theological understanding of the Christian faith. We also offer a series of electives that take students even deeper.
Personal Enrichment — The Truth Project®
The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum from Focus on the Family comprised of 13 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This group study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses the Christian worldview in comprehensive detail, as well as the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.
Deeper Study — The Theology Program™
The Theology Program is a six-course systematic theological methods course for everyone, no matter what their level of faith-maturity. Each course is 10 weeks long and puts seminary-level material into bite-sized, easily digested pieces. If you have ever wanted to explore the essential Biblical teachings of Christianity, how the Church has developed through history, and what that means for our world today, then this program is for you. Each course registration includes an extensive student workbook.
Even Deeper Study — The Electives™
The Electives is a series of courses that are designed to provide a more in-depth and enhanced level of study of different areas of theology. The goal is to better equip students to build a deeper understanding of and ability in these chosen areas and to speak more clearly and more intelligently on a broader variety of theological issues. Courses are eight to ten weeks in duration, depending on the subject. These courses vary by term; see the Schedule for which elective course is currently being offered.
