Romans
8-week course (150 min x 8 sessions, 20 hours)
Prerequisite · Galatians
As the quintessence of the gospel, Romans clearly presents answers to many fundamental questions about the life of faith, based on the words 'the righteous shall live by faith' (Gal 3:11; Rom 1:17). What was the purpose of the law in the Old Testament? Did God's people in the Old Testament receive salvation by obeying the law? Are the salvation plans of the Old and New Testaments different? Is a person really saved by faith alone? Is salvation accomplished only through Jesus Christ? What is your answer? Through Romans, you can confirm a clear and firm basis for faith.

Revelation
12-week course (150 min x 12 sessions, 30 hours)
Prerequisite · Galatians

We comprehensively understand and interpret the symbols to hear and practice the precious message God gives His people. 'Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.' (Rev 1:3)

Christian Family & Counseling

The biblical design for marriage is presented with practical applications. Marriage is the first community God designed for a husband and wife to achieve the most intimate personal relationship as human beings.

Discipleship & Christian Education
Evangelism & Discipleship 2
7-week course (150 min x 7 sessions, 17 hours 30 min)
Prerequisite · Galatians, Romans, The Christian Life
The church does not exist for itself. The Bible records that the church exists not to condemn this crooked and corrupt generation, but to shine like a light illuminating the darkness of the universe and to share the word of life (Phil 2:15-16). Because the world needs the knowledge of the Savior and God, Jesus commanded before departing: 'Preach the gospel to all! Make disciples of all nations!' This learning course is important because those who respond to the Lord's call must be built up in faith to shine forth and proclaim the word of truth. To effectively carry out this ministry, one must become more skilled in loving lost souls and proclaiming the message of truth, and must be able to build deep relationships with non-Christians through love and acceptance. Therefore, you need training to penetrate society with the gospel, not only leading others to salvation but also establishing them firmly in faith so they become strong disciples who can lead others to salvation and build them up. In this way, the Kingdom of God will expand.

Bearing the Cross
7-week course (150 min x 7 sessions, 17.5 hours)
No prerequisites
As the subtitle 'Discipleship from the Gospel of Mark' suggests, this course teaches that Jesus Christ alone is the Master we must follow, and was designed as a follow-up to the One-on-One Discipleship Bible Study course. Having already confirmed important themes for starting the Christian life, we hope you are ready to pursue a higher level of discipleship. One of the best approaches is to carefully observe how the first disciples responded to Jesus during His earthly life.

The Christian Life
Prerequisite · Galatians
This course consists of 12 lessons. As Christians living in the world, we face challenges that drive us to pursue a deeper relationship with the Lord. The Christian life is like a journey. From the very moment we are born as children of God, we embark on a journey toward spiritual maturity in Christ. This road is neither easy nor short. It is full of obstacles set up by a cunning enemy who targets our weaknesses. But this battle is not hopeless, for God, who governs the entire universe, has given Himself to help His children and has opened the treasures of heaven. In this course, you will study spiritual growth: what it is and how to achieve it. The content focuses on what is needed for progress in the spiritual life. However, the spiritual life is not something everyone can live. Only those who have experienced God's regenerating work in their lives can reach the goal of spiritual maturity. The believer is supplied with everything needed to live the Christian life through God's saving work.

Facilitator Training School
16-week course (150 min x 16 sessions, 40 hours)
Prerequisite · By invitation
The goal of the Facilitator Training School (FTS) is to prepare students as BEE facilitators by developing their understanding of BEE ministry, seminar preparation, teaching methods, and small group leadership. This training course is divided into two parts: lectures and field practice. After completing FTS, trainees are further trained as facilitators by participating in actual seminar facilitation for at least two semesters. BEE facilitators have both a great responsibility and a special privilege. What most churches urgently need is a spiritual life that manifests God's holiness, power, and redemptive love to the world. To achieve this, the church needs leaders who walk with God and reflect God's character. The role of a group facilitator is very important, as it helps others mature in Christ. The facilitator's goal is to prepare well in advance, exercise necessary leadership, skillfully guide and maintain lively discussion, and do their best in each seminar to help students mature to the level targeted by each course.

Practical Theology
Evangelism & Discipleship 1
7-week course (150 min x 7 sessions, 17 hours 30 min)

Ecclesiology
12-week course (150 min x 12 sessions, 30 hours)
Prerequisite · Galatians
This course challenges students to set their view of the church through the Bible, history, and culture, examining worship, maturity, growth, leadership, administration, and organization of the church under the light of Scripture, and to bring about changes in their thinking. What is the true image of the church? How can it transform into a church with diverse leadership? How can evangelism, discipleship, and church planting become a natural part of the church? Jesus said 2000 years ago: 'I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it' (Matt 16:18). This declaration is as important today as it was then. When He says 'I will build my church,' He is speaking of growth. The church of Jesus Christ must always be growing. Growth is achieved when each member matures and fulfills their role. Through this course, we aim to help students, as co-workers with the Builder (Jesus), continually seek wisdom and power from God to accomplish this task and equip themselves to complete the work God has commanded.

Systematic Theology
Doctrine 1
12-week course (150 min x 12 sessions, 30 hours)
Prerequisite · Galatians
Doctrine systematizes the foundations and grounds of all Christian beliefs based on Scripture. The clear basis and direction for all aspects of the life of faith is grounded in biblical principles. For example, the reason Christians should pray is because God desires fellowship through prayer and promises to answer prayers. Without knowing these reasons and grounds, it would be difficult to recognize the need for prayer. All grounds of faith have doctrinal foundations. This will be a process of gaining clear grounds for the life of faith.

Apologetics
12-week course (150 min x 12 sessions, 30 hours)
Prerequisite · Galatians, Romans, Evangelism & Discipleship 1
As witnesses of Jesus Christ, we need to carefully consider every aspect of the person to whom we wish to convey the gospel message. We must treat them with respect, considering their foundation, experience, and knowledge of the Lord. A logical approach to explaining the gospel (including apologetics training) will help non-Christians achieve what the Lord requires. This course introduces you to training that includes defending the Christian faith. Explaining the Christian faith in understandable terms is the responsibility of every follower of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord for this ministry and prepare through prayer to be His witnesses.
