The Book of Acts was written as more than just exciting history. It presents a normative pattern for how to "do" and "be church" now. This seminar will probe the many facets of the Acts pattern, considering how to "do church" as a body which is missionary, teaching/evangelizing, caring, fellowshipping, and worshipping. And it will explore "being church," a suffering, vigorous, and Spirit-filled church. Throughout, the seminar will equip participants to answer the Acts' urgent call to Christians in our day: "Let the Church be the Church!"
Biblical Ministries Certificate:
If you want to go beyond a course or two, you should consider our Biblical Ministry Certificate which serves as the foundation in our building block approach to equipping for ministry. So, if you choose, you can move directly from the Biblical Ministry Certificate to our fully accredited Master of Arts or Master of Divinity degrees. Ask for more information, if you are interested.
