Recently Taught Courses
The Worldview Seminar
Strengthen your ability to think biblically about life and learning. This course introduces Christian and non-Christian worldviews from a biblical-philosophical perspective and challenges you to evaluate life and culture through a gospel-centered lens—preparing you to engage others with grace and clarity.
Introduction to Theology
Discover the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith and how they shape our understanding of God, humanity, salvation, the Church, and eternity. This course will help you build a biblical, systematic theology rooted in Scripture and relevant to life and ministry.
Systematic Theology I
Build a strong theological foundation by exploring the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. This course focuses on the nature and method of theology (Prolegomena), the authority, inerrancy, and sufficiency of Scripture (Bibliology), and the doctrine of the Trinity. You’ll learn to identify the biblical basis for each doctrine, understand how they connect to one another, and apply sound theology to personal spiritual growth and ministry in the local church.
Systematic Theology III
Study key doctrines of the Christian faith while learning to identify their biblical foundations, understand how they relate to one another, and apply them to your spiritual growth and ministry.
Topics include the person and work of Christ, the Holy Spirit and His ministry, and the doctrines of salvation such as grace, atonement, election, regeneration, justification, sanctification, and perseverance.
It is important to me that I serve in a ministry that will stand firm, unwavering in its commitment to biblical truth and its mission to equip the saints to know, love, and serve Christ in every facet of their lives.
