This semester class includes dynamic professors, interactive learning experiences, and creative demonstrations that show you how you can find your place of strategic service, using your own experiences, gifts and abilities. Perspectives can be taken as 3-credit course (graduate or undergraduate) accepted at over 200 colleges and seminaries nationwide, or just to gain additional knowledge on God's heart for the nations, and how believers can be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission. Description
-Who Should take Perspectives? Anyone and everyone who wants to better know the heart of God and His Work in His World. The goal is to bring our individual lives into a closer alignment with the purposes of God and to join Him in His story. This course is interdenominational and many local congregations are participating.
-What Will I Learn? You will be challenged to see the world through God's eyes in four different perspectives: Biblical perspective - what the Bible tells us about the heart of our Father. Historical perspective - histroy of the early church. Cultural perspective - look at the least evangelized peoples of the world. Strategic perspective - what is the nature of the task remaining for the Church and what part do I play? How to Register:

- What time investment do I need to make to this class? With over 130,000 alumni worldwide, most will agree that taking the Perspectives class was a pivotal point in their Christian journey. Is there a lot of work...yup! But we can all agree that anything of true value usually requires time and dedication. Perhaps you are at a point in your walk with the Lord where you need to dive deep in His Word and immerse yourself in a class that will help you see His Global purpose for His church and help you find your place in His story. Aren't 25+ hours of solid teaching and training over 15 weeks, from some of the best teachers around, worth it to help guide your choices and pursuits for the Kingdom for the rest of your life? In terms of homework:
- Key Reading students will have 2-3 hours of reading time a week
- Certificate students have about 3-4 hours of reading weekly, plus weekly worksheets and a class project/paper due at the end of the term
- Credit students have about 4-6 hours of reading weekly, weekly worksheets, a class project/paper and 2 exams (mid-term and final.)
- Who are the instructors? Each of the 15 weeks we will have a different instructor. These are men and women from across the country who are experts in their respective fields.
- Because the class is hosted at a Church, can only that church's members sign up? It simply means that this church is gracious enough to let us meet in their wonderful facility. One of the most refreshing aspects of Perspectives is the sense of community that develops during the course and the fact that it can be so diverse. Our planning team is made up of people from various churches in the Sheboygan area. In addition to Sheboygan area residents, we anticipate people taking the class from as far away as Port Washington, West Bend, Green Bay and Fond du Lac.
- Is this course primarily for people who want to be "missionaries"? No, but you might come away with a new appreciation for them! We believe that we can each make it our goal to bring our lives into closer alignment with the purposes of God. You don't necessarily have to move to or visit another country to help fulfill the Great Commission. If you want to be challenged to move your spiritual journey forward, then this is the class for you. REGISTER TODAY! For more information, contact us at [email protected]
