Term 4 Courses

Leading Teams

This course is designed to help you effectively lead ministry teams. We will ask questions like, “What are the biblical requirements for leaders?”, and “What are key skills for team leaders?”.

Defenders Apologetics

This course is designed to equip Christians to defend their faith in our modern and post-modern world. The course will be based on the book On Guard: Defending Your Faith with Reason and Precision by William Lane Craig.
