This non-denominational course presents the biblical, historical, cultural, and strategic aspects of fulfilling the Great Commission. We encourage anyone in the area who is serious about gaining a deeper understanding of God’s ultimate purpose globally and locally to attend this course.
Perspectives seeks to reveal the nature of God's purpose to reconcile all peoples to Himself and bring them into the goodness of His Kingdom. We are called to be a part of HIS purpose. It's about gaining a deeper understanding of who God is, what He's about, and how we are ALL called to be a part of it.
Throughout the 16 weeks, students will learn about God’s nature, His purpose, and how He uses ordinary people like us to bring glory to His name. Over 120,000 people have taken the Perspectives course over the last 40 years. This year there are over 300 classes world-wide with over 9,000 students.
