Its theme is "Beginnings": the beginning of Sin, of Life and Death, the origin of Languages, the beginnings of music, the arts, and creativity, the origin of the races!

These Books are rich in deep spiritual truths for every Believer to ponder and believe with all their heart, as they seek to know Christ!
B-101	The Minor Prophet Books (Hosea to Malachi). These twelve short books from Hosea to Malachi are called 'Minor' Prophets not because of less importance than other prophetical books, but because they were smaller in size. Containing just 67 chapters in the Old Testament. They represent some of the most neglected books in the Bible. They are primarily prophetic - both of coming judgement and future blessing. Their purpose is to prepare people for the coming Messiah, explain that God would restore all things,  WARN God's people of God’s coming judgment, get people to believe on the Messiah, and to be an example of suffering and patience.
B-110	Joshua. This Old Testament Book presents the effort that God went through to get the nation of Israel out of the wilderness and into their Promised Land.

But we will also see how that when believers just follow the Scriptures, God accomplishes His great plan through insufficient vessels! This class will thrill your soul, and open your understanding about the effect of the true Gospel, and the effect of any other counterfeit! It takes four semesters to complete the entire course!
C-025	The Reformation. Around 1400 AD Europe was starting to awaken to the idea that the Bible is the ONLY source for truth, both about God, as well as about this universe and ourselves. But the Bible was a forbidden source for the common man. So it took almost 200 years of reforming at a very high price to get the Bible into the common man’s languages, and get laws based upon God’s Law. This period of time is both exciting, and harrowing, since the Catholic Church fought long and hard to retain its dark grip on Europe, but the Reformation had its effect – a new world! This class will briefly examine the lives and efforts of people like John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Huss, Menno Simons, and Ulrich Zwingli.

The ultimate goal of every Christian is to reproduce their faith in someone else – that is Discipleship. And the ultimate goal of every Bible believing church is to reproduce ITSELF – that is Biblical Evangelism, and our world desperately needs it! This class will work through practical means by which Biblical Churches can and should be started, anywhere, and everywhere!
M-012	Missions III – Teamwork in Church Planting. This class builds on the Missions II class, and explains just how a team of church planters can actually work together and quickly establish a New Testament Church anywhere.
