Ground School

Class Details: Instructor: Tim Jeffress and Patrick Lafferty; Time: 11:00 am; Location: Oak Lawn West Main Meeting Roo

A nine-month expedition into the ground of our faith, life, and ministry with the Westminster Confession as our guide. This class begins Sunday, October 4. The Westminster Confession of Faith stands as a foundational summary of Reformed theology and as the bedrock for our denomination’s understanding of what the Scriptures principally teach. Ground School will have the Confession as its primary subject, and is so named for two reasons. It will seek to explore the ground of our faith, life, and ministry with the Confession’s articulation of the Scripture as our guide. But just as those learning to fly submit to a season of preliminary training on the ground, Ground School seeks not just to explain what the Westminster Divines taught, but to form a community around that teaching so that, like Elijah, we might become rightly jealous for the Lord (1 Ki 19:10). Then we shall “mount up with wings like eagles” (Is 40:31) because we’ve tasted and seen the Lord is good (Ps 34:8). By the end of the nine months together, it is our prayer that we, the priesthood of all believers (1 Pet 2:9), might be better equipped to fulfill that mandate in our church and wherever the Lord has providentially placed us.
