Our programs are biblically-grounded, thought-provoking, interactive studies that attract churchwide participation and reach out into the community.
And that's just the beginning!
They also prepare congregations for in-depth Bible studies, interfaith dialogue, healthy congregations training, study of world religions and even trips to the Holy Land.
Simply put, our Theologian-in-Residence programs build momentum.
They build the kind of momenturm that helps believers grow in biblical understanding and theological depth. And that can help your church grow in fellowship and outreach.
They're great for clergy and laity alike.
Clergy don't have to spend hundreds of hours preparing studies like these. Laity, energized by something different, benefit from a fresh perspective.
We combine ancient wisdom with post-modern applications to create truly compelling programs.
It's a new way to do Adult Christian Education. Part Bible study. Part retreat. Part outreach. Part community-building. 100% engaging!
