Bible Study Skills & Romans

Course Description

The Theology Curriculum at LCA, specifically this course, is designed to contribute to our overall discipleship curriculum by encouraging our students to be students of the Word of God so that they may know Him and the Biblical doctrines foundational to the Christian faith, making God’s Word a part of themselves, guiding them in Biblical faith and action thereby honoring God and fulfilling His call on their lives. Important to knowing God’s word is having the skills to adequately study it. This course is designed to encourage students to study God’s word for themselves and to give them the tools to do it.
