Sound ministry must be built upon sound doctrine. This area introduces students to the organized study of the major doctrines of the Christian faith and helps them understand how biblical truths relate to one another.

Students will receive foundational instruction concerning major theological subjects such as the doctrine of Scripture, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, humanity, sin, salvation, the Church, spiritual beings, death, resurrection, and eschatology.

Students will also be challenged to distinguish between biblical doctrine, denominational tradition, personal opinion, cultural beliefs, and theological error.

****Expected Outcome:****

Students should develop a foundational theological framework that enables them to understand, articulate, defend, and teach essential Christian doctrine with greater biblical accuracy.
