FAQS:
What theology is this course based on?
We consider the teaching of this course led and inspired by the Holy Spirit as He empowers each of His people. We believe all scripture is inspired and written by God's Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16) and is our guidepost and instruction for Holy living. We consider ourselves born-again Christians (John 3:3) who have inherited God's eternal salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ by God's grace through our faith (Ephesians 2:8) and our inward and outward confession of said faith (Romans 10:9). This course is designed for those who share similar beliefs or are open to learning about them.

What denomination is this teaching for?
This course is completely non-denominational. It can be applied to any Christian or denomination who desires to start a home church.

Does starting a home church mean I stop going to my regular Church?
Not necessarily, typically only if God has called you to host it during your normal church service. In most cases, we believe you will have a small meeting in addition to the regular church you attend.

Do I have to be a Christian already to take this course?
Not at all! While being a believer already is helpful, this course will also share the message of Jesus Christ to you and allow you to become the new leadership God will use in your community.

Who this course is for:

Believers in Jesus Christ who are looking to start church style meetings in their own homes.
Believers in Jesus Christ who feel their community does not have a good church presence and know God has called them to try something new.
People who desire to learn more about Jesus Christ and share him with their community.
If you want to grow yourself Spiritually with Jesus.
Those who want to go deeper into things of God.
Non-denominational, Spirit Led, or denominational Christians who want to apply these teachings.
