What is culture? How is it shaped? How does it shape us? How do we distinguish theological values from cultural ones - and help others to do the same? And how do we understand a cultural context well enough to introduce Jesus into it in respectful and meaningful ways?

This course can be taken on its own or as part of a 5 course Certificate in Christian Ministry. Participants independently work through seven weeks of guided reading and reflection which culminates in a two-day in-person retreat on February 26 and February 27 at First Christian Church in Decatur, Illinois.

Teaching Fellows: Dr. Silas McCormick and Brady Cremeens
