We believe that no one should have to go outside of the local church to receive a theological education. In fact, for most people, going back to school or seminary just simply isn’t an option.
The Heights Institute is a two-semester program at The Heights Church designed to teach the foundations of Christian Theology, Christian Scriptures, and Christian Practice in order to train up people to lead in the life of the local church.
The Heights Institute
What you will learn
Christian Belief
Everyone is a theologian. if you have ever thought about God, you’ve done theology! In the Institute, our goal is to equip you with the foundations of Christian belief and tradition so that you can know God and help others know him better.
Christian Story
The Bible is a collection of history, poetry, prophecy, and personal letters spanning thousands of years and dozens of authors. However, we also believe that it is the singular word of God. In the Institute you will learn how the Biblical story fits together, and how you can better understand and even teach others about the Bible.
Culture
Jesus calls us not just to think about him, but to obey him. In the Institute we will walk through the basic practices of a disciple of Jesus, how to implement them in our lives, and how to teach others to do the same.

The Institute is for any member of The Heights Church who wants to be more equipped to lead in the life of our church. This IS NOT a class for people who love reading and discussing ideas (though we will do that!)
This is for anyone who wants to grow in their discipleship to Jesus and help others do the same!
