ACTS - The Journey

Biblical theological study not only engages us in exploring the most vital issues, it also equips us to bring life-change to others. Those engaged in ministry are here “ to prepare God’s people for works of service so that body of Christ may be built up” (Eph 4:12).

The Journey exists so you may pursue further graduate-level courses while remaining engaged in your ongoing responsibilities. With expanded course offerings, we are well on the way to being able to offer you the option of completing a Masters degree from ACTS Seminaries.

All registration is available online at www.twu.ca/services and is available to:

• Everyone who is continuing their studies at ACTS/TWU or;
• Who has been admitted to ACTS and paid their admission deposit ($200).

When you register online, be sure to use the Registration Invoice link to discover your cost for the semester. Tuition at The Journey is $320 per credit hour; the audit rate is $145 per credit hour.

Students, who wish to take courses only for audit, must first register online and then send an email to the Office of the Registrar from your TWU email account to request a change of status from credit to audit. Be sure to include the specific course number and your student ID number when making such requests. Some scholarship support may be available through your church or denomination.

Spring 2013 Semester

BIE 691 AB - Special Topic: Pastoral & Theological Themes in I Corinthians

Instructor: Dr. Ed Stuckey Location: Ellerslie Road Baptist Church, 10603 Ellerslie Rd. Edmonton Date: February 7th-9th, 2013 Credit Hours: 3 While Paul’s first letter to the believers in Corinth is often associated simply with addressing disorders in the church, including factionalism, immorality, philosophical elitism, distorted spirituality, and arrogant “charismania,” this letter offers profound and relevant insights for the practice of pastoral leadership, all the while grounding these insights in high theology at the heart of the Christian message. The course explores Paul’s letter as not simply a somewhat hurried response to issues in a first century church, but as a universal challenge to THE church offering one of the finest examples in Scripture of how theological realities drive not only the mindset we profess, the message we proclaim and the methods we practice in public ministry, but the spirituality and service we live out in personal walk. Finally, the course includes numerous suggestions toward preaching and teaching this remarkable book among Christian believers today.
