fall Semester Courses (start september 2, 2025)
Biblical Beliefs
Tuesdays 6:00 p.m. (In-Person & Zoom)
Instructor: Pastor Milton Howard
What was it that lead to the early church's success? Not success in financial terms or political influence, early Christians overcame persecution to become the most dominant religious force the world has ever known. Their fundamental faith commitments supported a manner of life that linked beliefs and behavior, or doctrine and practice. The Apostle Paul warned that deceptions are a significant danger to Christians. Truth, then, becomes essential for living in perilous times.
How to Study the Bible
Thursdays 6:00 p.m. (Zoom Only)
Instructor: Rev. Art Hall
You will learn to consider context, framework of Scripture, merits of different translations, use of genre, and prayer as keys for how to study Scripture.
Perspectives from Church History
Thursdays 7:15 p.m. (In-person & Zoom)
Instructor: Rev. DeWayne Thomas
Written as a basic introduction to the subject, this course covers four major periods of church history: The Ancient Church, The Medieval Church, The Reformation Church, and The Modern Church. The focus of this study is to gain perspective, both comforting and challenging, to many current issues faced today. Studying history gives understanding of the complexities and richness of Christian faith and doctrine, as well as reinforcement that the Church will triumph.
