Join us this December as Dr. Jonathan Leeman, editorial director of 9Marks, teaches an informative course on church polity! The goal of this course is to provide a biblical, theological, and practical explanation of the local church from a Baptist perspective. Particular attention will be given to understanding congregational rule within canonical perspective, the relationship between congregational rule and elder leadership, a baptistic understanding of the ordinances, and how these polity distinctives are conducive to a culture of discipleship.
The class will be held on December 9-14, 2024. The class will meet from 6pm-10pm Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 8am-noon (Eastern Standard Time).
Attendees may join in-person at the Shepherds Theological Seminary campus in Cary, North Carolina. Live-synchronous learning options are available for students who wish to participate online.
