Foundations – Core Doctrine Overview

I was saved Oct of 1995. I was baptized in a lake in 2009. I attended different churches. I sat in the congregation and listened to the preaching. I was taught to serve in the Church and tithe 10% of my income. I learned my share of christianese. Yet my understanding of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit was limited. I was not growing, either were the other members in the church. The pastor's preaching was motivational and I enjoyed listening to their personal stories, but my knowledge wasn't growing. The churches I attended encouraged street evangelism. Our goal was to get as many strangers as possible to say the "prayer of salvation." We would sit in the bus after evangelizing to see who got the most "fish."

A friend told me about a Bible school that he was starting. He asked if I would be interested in attending a 16-week course. He explained that it would be a foundational class for individuals interested in growing their knowledge of the Bible with specific topics each week. I decided to attended the spring 2024 course. At the time, I enrolled more as a of favor to my friend.

The course was literally life-changing. The deep dive into Scriptures unlocked many mysteries, answered many questions and brought clarity to passages that I've heard before, but with deep meaning. The course not only changed me, but I watched others being transformed by the knowledge that was shared straight out of the Bible. The instructor David Grams didn't share personal stories, but he came prepared to teach every class on scriptures. When students had questions, (and they had a lot of questions), David was able to answer their questions quickly and supported each answer with scripture.

Thank you David. I learned through this course, that a believer is held to a higher standard than a non- believer, Luke 12:47-48. This class was so foundational to my understanding of the Bible. I learned an incredible amount about the Word in 16 weeks. The knowledge from the course, has become an impetus to keep seeking God the Father in Heaven, His Son Jesus our Lord and the Holy Spirit.

The Foundations Course is VITAL for a successful life on earth as a Christian. Oh how I wish someone would have discipled me when I first said a prayer for salvation at age sixteen!
Everyone is on a life journey; I urge you to choose the straight and narrow path by being discipled, as Jesus commanded ~ “Follow Me. Make disciples.”
Learn what it means to live repentant, live as a servant and to walk humbly with Jesus as Lord in supernatural, Holy Spirit power!
I am eternally grateful for these studies and without words to adequately describe the value…but on earth as it is in heaven. Check it out for yourself and for those you care about today. Your life will never be the same, but have true love and purpose.

This is a great foundational class for every christian or anyone seeking to know more about Christianity.

Solid foundational teaching based on the Bible not religious traditions.

The instructor is very knowledgeable and welcomes questions and comments.

I highly recommend this course!

The foundations course was great!
I highly recommend this course to anyone who takes their faith seriously.

I am 46 and should have taken this course when I first got saved at 13 y.o. Through this course I have gained an in depth understanding of the foundational principles of what it means to to know and love Jesus while learning how to live the Christian life. I finally have a biblically sound view of who God is and what my role is as a child of God.

The Foundations - Discipleship Course was excellent!
This course has helped me to grow, to know more of my heavenly Father, walk like Jesus, and be led by The Spirit. Even though I've been a believer for 25+ years,
I've gained more understanding and have learned new things. David has an amazing depth of knowledge and understanding of the scriptures. What makes this course so great, is his ability to articulate it well- in a way that it is easy to understand.
Fantastic course. Highly recommended!

I've been a Christian for 40 years and I signed up for this course because I wanted a faith "refresher", but it was so much more! David took us on a deep dive into all the essential teachings about discipleship, with practical tools for putting them into action. Now, I am not just a believer in Christ, but I am a true disciple, and I am equipped to go out and make more disciples--just like Jesus told us to do.

Went in to this course thinking I had a decent understanding of the foundations of Christianity. I soon learned I knew little to nothing. David rightly divides the word, he is a deep well, overflowing with wisdom and knowledge.

My life has already been significantly changed due to this course. My daily time with Lord has since been a number 1 priority.

I’ve been saved for about a year and made huge changes in my life because of my salvation. Then I took this course. It gave me wisdom that’s since been overflowing into my life and the life’s of the people I know. The fruit is real, and extremely valuable.

Going in person creates a personal experience that you wouldn’t get online. Being able to be surrounded with fellow believers who want to learn and a teacher who is willing to always answer questions is priceless.

This course can change your life.

This course enhanced my knowledge of Jesus and his ministry. It also taught me to glorify God in all I do in my life - big or small!

David is a powerful, knowledgeable leader and his passion for Christ and to make disciples is contagious.

Each lesson grew my knowledge of the Word, God, Jesus and the Spirit and overall grew my relationship with God.

Highly recommend this course !
