History of Christianity

Jan. 18 to March 29

In recent months we have navigated the parting of the ways of the UMC and the Global Methodist Church. This isn't the first time the church has evolved over time and it won't be the last. Join us as we explore the story of the Christian church from the book of Acts across two millennia to the present day—and look forward in hope to the decades to come.

Teacher: Robert Hand

Catechism for the Global Methodist Church

Jan. 18 to March 29

A catechism is an educative and regulative formulation of church doctrine. The goal of catechesis is to understand, recall, profess and enjoy the church’s essential teachings, which includes the essence of the central theological confessions of the church as well as the essential doctrinal commitments of the GMC denomination.
