God-Centered Curriculum
Bible-based • rigorous • church-based • theological • for adults

The objectives of each course are different, but the overarching goal is to feed the mind and expand the heart with biblical truth to the glory of God.

In this series, approximately two hours of in-class instruction and 2-3 hours of homework are expected each week.
Public Square Series
The courses within our Public Square Series were specifically designed for a Sunday school setting. While the
