How Foundations works
Using an Open Learning method that has been proven throughout the world as an effective method of discipleship and leadership training, Foundations provides demanding but approachable study of essential Christian topics. The study method is founded on two very important pillars: Home Study and Group Tutorials. You study on your own using specially prepared interactive study texts and you interact with a group of fellow students under the guidance of a tutor. All students can expect to gain increased confidence in understanding and interpreting the Bible and the ability to assess and evaluate different opinions. We are confident that you will also learn how to apply the Bible more effectively in your life and in your witness to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The advantages of the two pillars are:
Home study with specially prepared study texts provides:
- A way into serious, first-hand study
- Focused, relevant feedback to give confidence
- A check whether material has been properly understood or not
- The chance to note points of disagreement or of further interest
- An effective way to learn the discipline of regular study
The Group Tutorial provides a place for students to:
- Express their ideas in their own words –try them out on others – safely
- Learn to agree - and disagree - with others
- Share personal experience and learn from it
- Form strong relationships with other Christians
- Grow in confidence and trust their own judgments
- Plan and work together on the basis of their theological thinking
