Confessing Christ: Heidelberg Catechism and Apostles' Creed
Room 131
Taught by Rev. Jules Grisham, Dirk Rankin, and others
Integrating benchmark confessional theology within the context of modern trends in Protestant evangelicalism, we will study the Apostles' Creed through the lens of the Heidelberg Catechism (Q&A 21-64). The excellent character and pastoral warmth of Heidelberg has secured its place among the most ecumenical confessions of the Christian Church and as a fitting resource for unpacking the Creed's apostolic truth.
Schedule and resources here.
GENtoREV: Old Testament

This class will study and discuss the themes from Genesis through the Song of Solomon, emphasizing the place of each book in the great unfolding story of redemption history, culminating in the life, death, resurrection, ascension, and reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
