Church History I | March 26-April 23, 2026
Location: Highland campus
Taught by: Gray Crampton

How did we get here from there? The history of Christianity (Church History) is our history, it is our spiritual family tree. Knowledge of God's word in the past encourages us to seek Him in the present and future. The purpose of this class is to gain insight from the people, events, and movements that laid the foundation of our faith, enabling us to leave a legacy for those who come after us. This class will focus on the New Testament church through the Reformation.

Required Study Guide: Church History in Plain Language, 5th Edition.
