Areas of Study
The Center for Christian Studies is focused on equipping churches, church leaders, and individual Christians to serve the Kingdom more faithfully.
​
CCS exists to equip churches and church leaders in five main areas of study:
Theological Understanding
Deeper knowledge of divine matters comes through interaction with the history and tradition of Christianity and through reflection on the intellectual challenges of our day.
Ethical Living
As a people called to be in the world but not of it, we engage the world through the art of living well and the practice of the virtue of love for God and neighbor.
Biblical Literacy
Scripture is the primary authority for faith
and practice. The Bible is the written word of God, the inspired revelation of who God is and what he has done to redeem his good but fallen creation.
Spiritual Formation
Discipleship involves the cultivation of Christian virtues and the fruit of the Spirit, the application of these disciplines in one’s life, and a commitment to
proclaiming the gospel.
Thoughtful Worship
The renewal of worship includes retrieving the theology and practices of the historic church
in a theologically sensitive way for our time.
