Ministry in the Making I
Class
About
This course shall serve as an overview of ministry and the calling of GOD, for today and historically. Unfortunately, the poor, unbalanced teaching of many church leaders and the hypocrisy of professing Christians continues to contribute to the postmodern skepticism of the miraculous and bold claims of Christianity. As a result, there is an increasing need for believers to be acquainted with a general overview of the basic doctrines of Scripture and the concept of the Christian life. The aim of this course is to give a rational and practical overview of Christian doctrine so that the modern mind can understand what Christianity is all about. In contrast to other courses that attempt to defend Christianity against opposing world views and religions, this course focuses on familiarizing students with the basic tenets of the Christian faith.
