Course Description

Theology is the foundation of both our ministry work and our Christian lives. But what is theology, exactly? In this Doing Theology course, you’ll learn what theology is and what aspects of our lives and experiences shape our theology and that of others. You’ll develop a deeper understanding of your own theological orientation and be able to articulate and apply it to different case studies that look at both daily life and bigger theological questions. Through the work you do in this course, you’ll come away with a working model for your own theology and a growing understanding of how that bears upon your interpretation and understanding of different topics!

This course counts towards the Ministry Essentials Certificate.
