Spiritual Formation Institute

Based on the scriptural truth that every Christian is called to minister, we desire to equip people for a lifetime of ministry. Spiritual Formation Institute is a primary means for equipping, instructing, and training each person in the body of Christ for their unique ministry. SFI classes are offered on Sunday mornings before the worship service as well as in the evenings during the week.

Three Ways to Study:
   1. Take courses as you please as a non-certificate student.
   2. Get on a course of study for a general certificate.
   3. Get on a course of study for a certificate of emphasis in one of four areas:

       • Spiritual Formation 
       • Practical Ministry
       • Biblical Studies
       • Missions

General certificate and certificate of emphasis students must complete six core classes. Six additional elective classes are required for general certificate students. Two elective classes and four classes in the area of emphasis are required for certificate of emphasis students. All certificate students must also complete four terms of field education in some area of ministry.

Six Core Classes:
     • Theological Foundations
     • Gospel Foundations
     • Church Foundations
     • History of Christianity
     • Christian World View
     • Survey of the Bible

Each class includes elements of practical application and equipping for service. Enrollment priority will be given to certificate students.

Ongoing certificates of emphasis may be earned by completion of six classes in other areas of emphasis.
