Core Curriculum
Foundations
Our Foundations Courses are designed to equip men for the serious study of the New Testament, Old Testament, and Systematic Theology. We will focus on one of these three areas each year.
Biblical Languages
We are committed to rigorous training in the original languages. We do this through a combination of online courses taught by Bible Mesh and small group tutorials.
Pastorology
Our Pastorology courses cover a wide variety of subjects including expository preaching, teaching methods, church polity, leadership, administration, Biblical counseling, and the pastor’s family.
Reading for Rounding
This fourth component of our curriculum involves the guided reading from a range of sources with the purpose of producing men who are both well rounded and thoroughly grounded.
