Church Planting BC

Module 1: Gospel theology:  Understanding the gospel

This module focuses on understanding how the work of Jesus Christ changes everything we are and do, as individuals, as a community, and as ministers of God’s grace. It is the message of redemption that we always preach as well as the dynamic that causes on-going redemption in our lives and communities.

Competency Outcomes:

• Exhibits a grasp of the gospel of grace as a ‘dynamic’ in life, not just having sins forgiven.
• Can articulate the broad scope of the gospel as it relates to life and ministry
• Able to describe the “two thieves of the gospel” and which he/she tends toward
• Can describe the difference between “the gospel” and a moralism or self-esteem approach to personal growth
• Grasps how the gospel affects the ‘what’, as well as the ‘how’ of doing ministry
• Has a strong sense of ‘call’ to church planting in the city (dealt with in application process.)
