Core Classes:
Course Description: The Bible is such a big book and for someone not familiar with it, it can seem intimidating and confusing. The goal of this class is to make this book less intimidating as you understand how the Bible fits together and the grand themes of the greatest book ever written. Our hope is that this class will give you a foundation to grow upon in your understanding of the Bible so you can feel comfortable in reading God’s Word, knowing how it all fits together.
More info coming soon.
Course Description: Have you ever wondered why we believe what we believe as Christians? Do you struggle to articulate your faith and how to explain your beliefs to someone else? This core class is designed to introduce you to the fundamental beliefs of being a Christ follower. The foundational beliefs introduced in this class are based upon Crosspoint’s doctrinal statements. Our hope is that this class will give you a foundation to grow in your understanding of these beliefs and understand how they practically apply to our lives as Christ followers.

Biblical Studies:
The foundational way we get to know God is by reading the words He has given to us. This becomes the basis for developing a deep relationship with Him. He has given us sixty-six books to read and our focus, in this class, will be on the first thirty-nine books, collected together as the Old Testament. The Old Testament is important to help us understand who God is, our need for Christ and give us the necessary background for understanding the New Testament and biblical prophecies.

Class Expectations
At The Institute, our prayer is that God would not only teach you more about Him but also transform you from the inside out. As usual, we ask each student to arrive on time, be prepared and be present at ALL scheduled classes. Some of the best learning comes from conversations had by students in the classroom. In addition, you might have reading assignments that will need to be completed at home.
Spring registration opens December 20th. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at institute@crosspointcity.com
