Theology Proper, Christology, Pneumatology

Wednesdays Feb 7 - May 8, 2024
6:30pm - 8:00pm

Taught by Pastor Patrick Griffiths (unless otherwise indicated)

To deepen one’s fellowship with God one must deepen their knowledge of God. Thus, there can be no greater pursuit than to study God. Theology Proper considers God in His Trinitarian existence. Here, we will seek to answer, “Why God, how does He exist within Himself, and how does God reveal Himself and thus, known by His creation?” From this broader study of the Triunity of God, we shall explore both Christology [the study of Jesus Christ] and Pneumatology [the study of the Holy Spirit]. All three studies impact His people directly and have significant implications for the Christian life.

To know God in His Trinitarian expression is to know truth and from this well, we establish a correct lens through which we come to understand the world around us. We invite you to join us as we journey together in our collective desire to know God more intimately.
