THEOLOGY CLASSES
These are the three courses offered in the Theology track. Read below for details.
Introduction to Theology & Doctrine
Systematic theology is at the center of the church’s knowledge of God and His redemptive work in Christ.
As such, it is of crucial importance that believers take theology seriously. This course is custom-designed as an introduction to the foundational topics of the Christian faith. Students will be exposed to theological teachings, such as the nature of God and His word, the concept of sin, faith, and salvation, the necessity of the atonement, the function of the church, and the varying views on the end times. This course is foundational and serves as a prerequisite for many 200 and 300-level courses.

Soteriology
The doctrine of salvation, otherwise known as soteriology, provides a biblical basis for the theological concept of salvation.
In this course, students will be exposed to the Bible’s presentation of sin, God, humanity, the atonement, and how all these come together to form a coherent picture of how the Trinity redeems sinners. Students will learn about election, calling, justification, repentance, adoption, sanctification, and glorification.
Next Class: TBD
Christology
This course explores both the Person and work of Jesus Christ.
The New Testament presents Jesus as both God and man. This course will seek to unpack major aspects related to Jesus’ divine and human nature. Topics such as the virgin birth, the scope and limits of Jesus’ knowledge, and the theological connection between Jesus and sin, will be presented. Students will gain a deeper understanding and experience of the God who gave His life to redeem humanity.
