Foundations of the Faith | AFM101

This course will review several of the basic tenants and essential doctrines of the Christian faith.  It will be a primer for future studies or an overview as a self-contained study.

The course will consist of eight weeks of one-hour sessions with 15 minutes of questions at the end.  The last week will be dealing with all the material and taking a two-hour time to answer any questions from the students.

Suggested reading:

  • Basic Christianity – John Stott (IVP and Baker Academic)
  • 5 Things Every Christian Needs to Grow – RC Sproul (Reformation Trust)
  • Foundations of the Christian Faith – James Boice (IVP Academic)
  • Christian Commitment – Carnell (Out of Print)
  • Westminster Catechism
  • Back to Basics – Hagopian

These titles are for personal study, not for this course.
