This thirty-week study of the classical doctrines of the Christian faith aims at presenting, explaining and interpreting Christian doctrine as the basic teaching of the Church to the end that informed believing leads to committed discipleship.
Christian Believer emphasizes the relationship of worship, belief, and daily life. The beliefs of the Christian community, taught within the Church, equip the followers of Christ for living faithfully and for passing on the faith entrusted to us.
