The Beginnings of the Radical Church
Added Bonus! All students who complete the course within the six month time limit will receive a Certificate of Completion and have LIFETIME access to all the course materials!
Our approach for this course "On This Rock" is to go back to the beginning so that we can understand the roots of our faith, the foundations of the church and the principles and patterns that were employed by that apostolic church, the church in the book of Acts. We do so in order that the church today, constituted of you and me and of all those that call upon the name of of the Lord, can go forward in greater maturity, bearing fruit and living up to our high calling in Messiah Jesus!
