STRUCTURE & DONATIONS
COURSE “ROLLOUT” STRUCTURE:
Step One
Starts January, May, or September
Trial class (12 weeks) made up of deciders & influencers. FREE to 15 people.
Step Two
Starts next period following Step One
Church classes start (2 to 3 groups of 15-20 each) with one moderator of each group from Step One class----Old Testament Survey—12 weeks
These groups then move on to New Testament Survey (14 weeks) starting with same groups of 15-20 each. Qualifier is completion of 70% of content from OT Survey.
These groups then move on to Christian Doctrine (13 weeks) starting with same groups of 15-20 each. Qualifier is completion of 70% of content from NT Survey.
EACH class is typically 3 months long with a grace month at end to allow final catch up or review time as needed.
Step Three
Other Sections of Old Testament can begin on a schedule to be dependent upon what the church wants to do. Ideally, it is best if the starter class in Old Testament Survey begins at the beginning of four months after the last section began. This provides a scheduled opportunity for members to “not miss out” if their schedules are too busy when the original Step Two class begins. Further, it allows any who may have dropped out during their first try, to enter back into the flow.of discipleship study.
We stand ready to customize a plan based on the aspirations of the ministry team.
