Four key principles guide our course
ACCESSIBLE
There are no academic requirements for admission. Teaching days involve a variety of content delivery styles, group discussion, video and independent work, to make for an enjoyable day for everyone.
AFFORDABLE
Costs are kept as low as possible so that no one is excluded on financial grounds. Reductions are available, and your own church may also consider supporting you. The full course lasts three years, but you only sign up for a year at a time.
ATTAINABLE
So long as you come to the teaching Saturdays, you will be able to complete the course. There is also the option to take on additional reading and assignments by joining a tutorial group, meeting five times each year following each teaching Saturday.
APPLIED
The whole course is focussed on the difference that theology makes to Christian life and witness. The last session of each teaching Saturday is particularly focussed on a big cultural question or church practice.
What next?
The School of Applied Theology is a ministry of Taking Ground.
