The Body of Christ

The first year of this two-year class develops a scriptural basis concerning the Body of Christ and emphasizes the practical administration, meetings, and course of the church from the first century onward. The second year of the course emphasizes the intrinsic and subjective reality of living as a normal, functioning member of the Body of Christ.

God’s Economy
God’s economy is His plan to dispense Himself into His chosen, redeemed, and regenerated believers. Trainees consider the basic principles, issue, and goal of God’s economy, and the way to live the Christian life with a view to its fulfillment. God’s divine dispensing is to make the believers the same as He is in life and nature but not in the Godhead, with the ultimate goal of God gaining a corporate expression to consummate the New Jerusalem.

The God-ordained Way
The four steps of the God-ordained way are the preaching of the gospel, the nourishing of the new believers, the perfecting of the saints, and the prophesying of the believers to build up the Body of Christ. Trainees examine the biblical foundation of these steps and begin to practice the God-ordained way that builds up the church as the Body of Christ.

This course focuses on the crucial practices revealed in the Word that cultivate and maintain the divine life we received at our regeneration.
