Offered for those who want to better understand what we do as believers and as the church. Each course involves seven weeks of reading and reflection on your own, with a two-day, in-person retreat in the eighth week. The retreats are held on site at a church or ministry selected by the teaching fellow. Each course costs $250, and course materials, meals, and housing are on your own. This is not an academic degree. There are no papers or tests, and courses can be taken alone (though applicants who pursue the whole certificate will be admitted first).
