Biblical Formation Course

"How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God?
The rule for doing this is simple but demanding.
It is that we turn each truth that we learn about
God into matter for meditation before God,
leading to prayer and praise to God."
-J.I. Packer

Modules Overview

Course Participation

Students attend weekly Institute classes and participate in their assigned cohort. Each week includes teaching, discussion, and application to help you engage the material and grow together in formation. Weekly readings from the primary textbooks align with class teaching and discussions. At times, additional Scripture and resources will be included.

Course Rhythms

The Biblical Formation Course will follow the same rhythms as our Small Groups, shaped by a pattern of intentional labor and rest that reflects how God designed us to live. This includes three primary terms throughout the year:
  • Term One: February–April, followed by rest in May
  • Term Two: June–July, followed by rest in August
  • Term Three: September–November, followed by rest in December
January serves as a time of training and reorientation to help leaders and participants remain aligned with these rhythms.

The Biblical Formation Course will operate within these terms, allowing for structured seasons of learning, formation, and rest in step with the church’s broader discipleship rhythms.
