in Good Company","description":"

Was Jesus really God? Is there a difference between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament? Does everyone go to heaven?

These are not just modern questions, but ancient matters that the church has wrestled with since the beginning. In this six-session course, we will look at how the church has answered these questions and more. Find out why some people have been labeled as heretics and why it matters today.

This course meets at 8pm EST on six consecutive Wednesday evenings, here are the dates:

Wednesday, September 12

Pedagogy and Learning Objectives
The Wednesday Night Bible Class is a new way to learn. Ideally, everyone should be able to learn about the Christian faith with great, in-person instructors and be surrounded with mentors and students who can enrich and enliven the learning experience. However, that is not the case. Too many of us learners experience less than stellar instruction and
orientation to the Christian faith. The Wednesday Night Bible Class seeks to improve that.

We understand that the most successful learning of this kind involves real relationship. However, we don't believe online learning is void of this. We believe sacred community can be created as well as inspired by the pedagogy The Wednesday Night Bible Study upholds.

This course works toward six learning outcomes. Students who successfully complete this course should: 1) Feel challenged in their beliefs, both affirming and disputing some deeply held convictions, 2) Feel encouraged to know Jesus better and His mission to reconcile the world to him, 3) Feel more confident in their knowledge of Christian doctrine, Jesus, the Bible important beliefs 4) Be able to converse more easily with others on this topic, 5) Be able to explain their beliefs and learnings from this class to others, 6) Make at least one nurturing relationship with a fellow student.

A typical class begins with a welcome from our leaders, a lecture, and questions answered as they occur or at break points in the lecture.
- Our presenters are not simply knowledgeable in their field, but they
possess an ability to communicate. Presentations are designed to be as
interactive as possible, including questions and discussions.

Rigor
- This course is designed to be comprehensive. Students can expect 6+
hours in class and some take home work, which may include a reflection paper and/or other assignment(s).
