Certificates and Diplomas
All of our classes are connected to the three programs below. The programs are paths through a series of classes designed to give you expertise in a certain area. The Foundations program is lay-level appropriate for all the people in your church and is a great place to start. The Institute program courses are university-level classes on the Bible and theology. The College program includes the core classes you would take in Seminary.
Foundations
The Foundations program will get you started with a basic understanding of the content and theology in the Bible. It’s perfect for people who follow Jesus, but it doesn’t assume anything about your knowledge on this subject!
Institute
The program is institute level, offering a more in-depth study on a variety of topics. If you know what you believe and have a basic understanding of the Bible yet want to go deeper, the academic classes are right for you.
College
The college program at has been specifically designed for people wanting a graduate-level education. These core classes are the ones that you would generally attend during your first year at seminary and are taught by some of the most experienced faculty from different seminaries.
