Module 1: Preparations For Ministry
Module 1 lays the foundation. Before a student is sent anywhere, they must be able to read the Scriptures well and understand the story they are standing inside. This module covers the origins of God's dealings with his people in the Pentateuch, the life and ministry of Jesus Christ in the Gospels, and the disciplines of sound biblical interpretation that will govern everything the student teaches for the rest of their ministry.
Courses in this module
- BOT 101Old Testament Studies 1: Pentateuch and Foundations of Faith
- BNT 101New Testament 1: The Gospels, Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ
- BTH 101Hermeneutics: Principles of Biblical Interpretation
Our Four Pillars
Everything we teach serves one of four ends. These four pillars shape the modules, the practicum assignments, and the final ministry project.
Preparation for Ministry
We ground students in the Scriptures and in the disciplines of interpretation, so that what they carry into ministry is the word of God rightly handled rather than opinion confidently delivered.
Groundwork for Discipleship
We train students to make disciples, not merely to gather crowds, equipping them with the pastoral skill and personal maturity that sustained discipleship demands.
Local and Global Mission Preparedness
We prepare students to carry the gospel across the street and across the world, with a clear understanding of evangelism, mission, and the cultures into which they are sent.
A Platform for Global Ministerial Impact and Relevance
We give students the leadership, stewardship, and administrative grounding required to build ministries that last, remain accountable, and stay relevant in the places God assigns them.
