FOR THE CHURCH INSTITUTE

“Strengthening Churches from the Inside Out”

Northridge Equip is pleased to introduce a partnership with Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s For The Church Institute.

FTC Institute exists to provide theological training that equips, encourages, and edifies the church from the inside out. We believe that theological education is not reserved for pastors only but should be available for every church attender.

FAQ’s

Is FTC Institute for me?

If diving deeper into understanding who God is or knowing the story of Scripture more sounds interesting, it’s safe to say you will find FTC Institute helpful. If you’re at the beginning of your faith journey, the Institute can help you make sense of what’s going on in the Bible. If you’re looking to lead in a church, or if you’ve never had any formal theological education for ministry leadership, this is a great place to start! In short, we believe this is a tool that will help everyday Christians be better equipped for ministry, and it will encourage you in your walk with God.

What classes will FTC Institute offer?

Our first two courses available now are Church History I and Theology I. Over the next year, we will begin to offer classes like Old Testament and New Testament surveys, Interpreting the Bible, and many more.

Should I know a lot about theology to benefit from a class?

All you need is an interest! If you are curious at all about the Bible, you can benefit from these classes. Remember, this is in the context of a local church, where a leader and other friends are there to help you if you need it. None of us have it all perfectly figured out, but we do have good reason to trust that the Bible is true. We can help each other understand what God has said in His Word and what He’s done in Christ for the Church.

How much does each class cost?

There is no cost to attend a class. Midwestern Seminary has generously offered them free of charge.

I have some other questions….who can I reach out to?
