The goal of this course is to provide a biblical, theological, and practical explanation of the local church. Particular attention will be given to understanding the centrality of the local church to the Christian life, congregational rule within canonical perspective, the relationship between congregational rule and elder leadership, a baptistic understanding of the ordinances, how these polity distinctives are conducive to a culture of discipleship, and the importance and unimportance of contextualization. Though grounded in academic study, this course does not target academics, but pastors/elders and engaged church members.
