GCTI Class: Applied Church History

GCTI Class: Applied Church History

A 7-week class meeting once a week starting 8/8/23. 

During our Fall Church History class, we are going to unpack some BIG questions about how the church started and how it changed over the past centuries. We will consider what the defining stories of the church are, and how those stories shape who we are today. Going back to the beginning, we will see that the early church worshipped the same God and had the same Word of God but did things in different ways. As we come closer to modernity, we will meet giants of the faith like Eusebius, Augustine, Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, Lottie Moon and more. Along the way, we will return to God's Word repeatedly to see precisely WHO He calls us to be. Come join us for a journey through history!
