The Ecclesiology course aims to explore the development of the People of Christ, beginning with the disciples at Pentecost and tracking through the major events and changes which led to the Church as the living Body of Christ today in the 21st Century.

Contemporary Discipleship not only provides relevant information on the states of life but also addresses the key developmental tasks of adulthood. The key issues—identity, autonomy, love, and relationships—are approached from the Christian perspective and are foundational to any examination of how to understand the vocations of life: how Christ calls us to live the single life, marriage, religious life, and the ordained ministry—to live life for the benefit of others and the value in considering a vocation in service to the Christian community.

Great camp for walking field trips, exploring the city, and hands on activities.
