The Five Core Bible Classes Are:

1. Genesis: This is a verse-by-verse/ section-by-section study of the book of Genesis. The intention of this course is to study the magnificent account of the creation of mankind and the unfolding plan of redemption of mankind, leading each of us into a deeper faith in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

2. A Gospel Book: (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) For whatever Gospel book is offered or you choose to take, we will consider the intent of the author, his audience and the content of the book in order to gain understanding and apply Christ’s words and depicted character to our lives as believers.

3. Acts: This class will look at the growth of the early church and church practices, including the function of spiritual gifts in the Church and New Testament church government. We will study some of the aspects of early church missions and church planting.

4. Romans: This course is a verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans, a book long regarded as the most systematic presentation of doctrine in the Bible. Students will look carefully at how the saving life of Christ, through the work of the Holy Spirit, can transform lives.

5. Revelation: In this course, we will seek a biblical understanding in our minds and hearts of the events that God has foretold through His prophets concerning the Last Days. We will seek to understand where we are in the history of prophecy and what lies ahead for the Church.

The Six Core Theology/Ministry Classes Are:

1. Church History: This course is designed as an overview of the major events, movements, doctrines, and people associated with the growth of the Christian church from the apostolic era until the present.

2. Apologetics: A study of the defense of Christianity with the emphasis on the biblical and theological foundation, methodology, and contemporary challenges to the truth of Christianity. This course will examine the various evangelical approaches to apologetics with an emphasis given to the nature of truth, existence of God, evil, hell, the reliability of the Bible, deity of Christ, resurrection of Christ, and other elements that comprise the core doctrines of Christianity. In addition, attention will be directed to understanding the formation of the Christian canon of Scripture. Subjects will include a study of biblical inspiration, canonization, transmission, translation and the role of archaeology as it supports the reliability of the Scriptures.

3. Inductive Bible Study (Hermeneutics): This course is designed to introduce the student to basic principles for Bible study and Bible interpretation, focusing on a literal, historical-cultural, grammatical approach to the Scriptures. The student will be exposed to the various genres of the Bible while practicing principles for proper exegesis of the Scriptures.

4. Systematic Theology: This class is an introduction to Christian theology that will address the nature and character of the Bible (bibliology), the doctrine of God (theology proper), the person and work of Christ including His death, burial, and resurrection (Christology), the person and work of the Holy Spirit (pneumatology), the doctrine of man, sin and salvation (angelology, anthropology, hamartiology, and soteriology), the nature, mission and role of the Church (ecclesiology), and a description of end times scenarios (eschatology).
