Class Description:  God’s people continue today with the call given by Christ to go and make disciples. The Scriptures teach that we ought to tell of God’s past deeds to recognize the wonders He has done. (Psalm 78:1-4)  So why should Christians study what came before? At the least it is to situate ourselves in the Lord’s redemptive plan. Church History is an investigation of God’s faithfulness and His sovereign use of His people to accomplish His ends. This course aims to encourage the student to see himself as part of a larger work, witnessing the amazing deeds of our marvelous God.
