The Rocky Mountain School of Ministry and Theology has invited us all to enroll in one of their Summer 2023 Courses! The mission of The Rocky Mountain School of Ministry and Theology is to equip disciples to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world through evangelism, church growth, and church planting as well as to give disciples a solid biblical foundation and maturity in their walk with God. You can take courses for credit ($635) or just audit the class ($50). Classes can enrich your life and walk with Jesus.

Below are the courses as listed on disciplestoday.org beginning on May 14, 2023 and ending on August 5, 2023:

Christ in Culture taught by Dr. Gabe Santos - What does Christ have to say to modern culture? How did Jesus interact with culture? How does he expect his followers to relate to culture today? Do disciples of Jesus escape from culture, stand in the midst of but fight against culture, baptize culture, or embrace culture? Explore these questions as well as matters of biblical justice, ecology, poverty, race, class, age, and gender.

Second Temple Judaism by Dr. Rolan Monje and Dr. Glenn Giles - Study the history and literature of the Intertestamental Period with particular emphasis given to connections between the Old and New Testaments as well as to developments that aid in the understanding of the writings of the New Testament. Students will be familiarized with political, social, and cultural issues related to understanding this historical period through the use of primary and secondary readings and a focused and guided research project.

Grief, Suicidology, and Crisis Counseling taught by Dr. Timothy Sumerlin - Attempt to open avenues of insight and service through understanding various features of grief, suicidology, and crisis counseling. Explore biblical, historical, and contemporary materials to apply the pastoral function with a healthy interface of theology and psychology. Numerous specific applications will be made in such areas of concern as crisis intervention, suicide intervention and prevention, and grief counseling across the lifespan with relevance in the church setting as the focus. Students’ own lives and experiences are seen as a base for developing competence in a healing counseling ministry.

The Sermon on the Mount and Beyond taught by Dr. Glenn Giles and Dr. Trevor Cochell - An in-depth English text study of the Sermon on the Mount from the Book of Matthew, Christian ethics found in it, the heart contained in it, and this passage’s application to today.
