About this Event

REGISTER AT (NOT VIA EVENTBRITE)

What fueled the explosive growth of the early church? How did the Council of Nicaea reshape Christian belief? Why did the Reformation spark such sweeping change, and how has American fundamentalism influenced faith today? This teaching series invites you to explore the turning points, controversies, and convictions that have defined the church through the ages.

Each week, we’ll dive into a key topic—topics like "Why Study History?" to "The Church Before Nicaea," "The Reformation," and even "Understanding American Fundamentalism." Whether you’re a lifelong learner or just beginning your Christian journey, you’ll come away with a richer understanding of how the past continues to shape the church’s present and future.
