Courses
Ministry Integration
How do you intentionally integrate what you are learning in your courses to your life and leadership? This eight-month, practicum-based course will help you apply what you are learning in an in-depth and meaningful way.
MB Story
Appreciating the highs and lows, the work of God, and the works of people, is largely a function of entering the story. In this course, students will talk about the MB Story. As the class journeys together, each person will enter the story and discern how it is part of God’s story. It is still being written, so each person will need to prepare to write their portions together.
Life and Teachings of Jesus
This course explores the life, mission, and theological identity of Jesus Christ through the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with an emphasis on final-text exegesis and canonical unity.
Joining God’s Mission
How can the church today participate in God’s mission to reconcile all things to himself through Jesus Christ? This course explores how a Trinitarian missional theology, as reflected through the
biblical narrative, shapes the church’s identity and calling to witness to the good news of Jesus through its life, actions, and words.
Interpreting Scripture Today
How do the Scriptures, the Spirit, and the interpretive community work together to discern the message and meaning of the Bible? How do we read the text carefully so that we can live it out with wisdom and faithfulness?
Genesis – Back to the Beginning
How does God reveal himself in the Old Testament and what is his relationship to people and the universe that he created? What were humans originally created to be and do and what might the implications be for us today?
Faith, Mental Health & Spiritual Care
This course is designed to demonstrate the importance and interplay of Faith and Mental Health in holistic well-being. Students will be supported to develop their understanding of faith and mental health and the ministry of spiritual care.
Exposition of Mark
In this course, we will seek to place the Gospel of Mark in its historical, cultural, and literary contexts. We will examine closely the various portraits of Jesus that Mark highlights and focus on a careful literary and theological study of the book with the goal of understanding the text and applying it to the present context.
Exposition of Deuteronomy
In this study of Deuteronomy, emphasis will be placed on understanding how covenant law and Israel’s story intersect to illuminate God’s character, plans, and purposes for his people.
